Not too late for the Tri-Relay

I know you have all seen the posts about the Duke Liver Center Triathlon in September. We now have four teams entered, one more about to sign up, and two more teams that are still "maybes" but seem like they will be entering.

• Team 1*: (S) Mary, (B) Kinnie, and (R) Patti
• Team 2*: (S) Mike, (B) Jeff, and (R) Dave
• Team 3*: (S) Doug, (B) Eric, and (R) Michael

• Team 5: (S) Carol, (B) Tracy H, and (R) Andy
• Team 6*: (S) George, (B) Tim, and (R) Ryan
• Team 7: (S) Rebecca, (B) Name Coming Soon, and (R) Tracy P

* entered

This event will truly be a blast. If we get seven teams, that is 21 people participating in the event! How cool will that be!?!? If you are reading these posts and thinking "that's not for me. . . I am not a triathlete", my goal right now is to change your mind.

This is a team event. If you can swim, or bike, or run you are perfect for this event. Not anyone who has signed up has grand illusions of winning, but we all are quietly excited about doing well and winning the mythical and imaginary Rocky Mount Tri Cup (anybody want to make a trophy by the way?).

My point is this. . . we are all going to Raleigh and giving it our best effort, but our main purpose is to have fun. This is really building up to become a fun event for our group. All of us know the runners around town, but this is giving us a chance to meet some swimmers and cyclist too. It is also causing the RMEC to grow by leaps and bounds.

So come on. . . take a chance. . . throw your hat in the ring and give this a "tri". If you are interested in running, biking, or swimming post a comment, and we will try to create team #8!

Coming soon. . . I will reveal all of the team names.
