Texian Road Warrior Update

It's a good thing we've laid low on the trash talking and team challenges with the Blogger teams (they have two teams for 2009) as it now appears that they are going to crush us.

We should still be able to catch the new TWRC entry, Asphalt Assault, who have a two hour head start on us.

With a Half Ironman in the not too distant future, an injury, and a job schedule that takes a couple team members out of town next week our whole TRI Van is gone. (and Juliee, from our Run Van, is still on a maternity leave)

We've restructured the team over the last few days and it looks like we'll be fine with some new faces...just not near as fast as either of the Blogger teams (we may be doing this with 10 runners instead of 12)

George and I did try to recruit someone to run who said that there is no way she could run even one leg....but she did agree to be our Team Mascot :)
(Do the Bloggers have a Mascot?)

TIR 2009 is less that a week away. Here is the official start list.

Dude, it's Bloggers not Boggers. :)

It might rain out there, but we won't get stuck in the mud.

Oops....fixed it.

Thank you.

We'll look forward to seeing who all you end up bringing to the dance at a 3-team get-together at 7:15 a.m. in the parking lot in Gonzales.

Perhaps all of your tri van, except those that will be out of town, will drive out - in a van - to the Monument to cheer your finish on.

Ole Kayla's looking pretty perky in the pic, there! She doesn't appear to be a runner, though....
