And the AWESOMENESS begins! I am excited to announce that I will be a member of Team TRAKKERS in 2011! Thank you to everyone who sent me such wonderful words of excitement and encouragement! I made some 'promises' to myself IF I made it. Uh, in hindsight I think these 'promises' I made were more to 'let me down easy' if I didn't make the team. So now it's go time and I have some things to figure out! :)
This makes my race season pretty easy! I would absolutely LOVE to do each and every Rev3 race, but reality is likely to slap me in the face as I sit down and review both calendar and budget! :) The for sure races:
June 4&5 Quassy - duh
July 10th Portland, OR (long trip to see family)
Sept 11 Cedar Point, OH (a vaca with the family - Gma and Papa included)
The others are ones I would LOVE to do and WILL do if the calendar and budget align.
May 15th Knoxville, TN
Oct 8th/9th Anderson, SC (right next door to Clemson University)
Feb 19th&20th 2012 Costa Rica (ok this one is a total pipe dream, but it is the year of awesomeness so who knows)
No matter how it all boils down it's going to be an awesome year. Now if I can just get my body free of this gunk so I can get to work on my first race as a member of Team Trakkers! Austin Marathon 2/20!!!!
Sponsors are still being worked out, but one we know about is Kestrel Bikes. So guess what this mama is getting for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary/Valentine's... you get the idea... a fancy new tri bike!!! Yeah me. There is a rumor out there that there will be a pretty little Trakkers number that looks a little something like this:
Stop drooling. She's pretty ain't she!? We'll see if there will be a green one... if there isn't there are blue, yellow and red to chose from. All totally doable! :)
Ahhh... I'm so excited! :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS AWESOME!! I AM going to do Rev3 Portland, just gotta find some money to register. I think 2011 is going to be a year of awesomeness for me too! yay!

ReplyDeleteThank you Colleen!!! the full is TBD. :D
ReplyDeleteThat is shear AWESOME-NESS....the color of the blog, the color of the bike, Clemson University, Team Trakkers AND we might be down in Austin for the Marathon as well. I won't be running but my wife is contemplating it as we speak....
ReplyDeleteJason.. we'll definitely have to stay in touch and meet up in Austin if you end up heading there!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteDang, the blog is all hi-tech looking now! How cool would it be if Kestrel actually offered a bike with green?
awesome !!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, two of the people I blog stalk are Team Trekers. How cool!
ReplyDeleteI am getting more and more tempted to do Quassy now...
And as soon as I hit submit I realized I had a typo (I think???) Team Trakkers. Don't want to spell it wrong. Some day I might want to try and join ;-)
ReplyDeletewooooo the blog makeover, I love it! I need to add some GREEN to all of the PINK on my page!! Yayyyy teammate! I can't wait for the fun!
ReplyDeleteokay educate me - what is team trakkers all about?
ReplyDeleteSuper cool... congrats!! I'm racing Rev3 Cedar Point too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, this will be a great experience for you, I am happy for you
ReplyDeleteAnd that is one sweet bike, Team Roll colors are black and green, I might want that bike for myself.
OK - you took my idea with the color scheme! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Team Trakkers!
It's cool Joel. YOu can totally copy me! :)
ReplyDeleteNicole.. let's start planning!
Hey Laura!! SOOOO stoked to have you on the team!! And can't wait to "get to know" you!!! I'm doing Quassy and pretty sure Rev3 South Carolina, so hopefully we'll bump into each other!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on getting into the swing of things and I hear you--when my husband is gone, I never sleep well and i'm totally "fried" as a mom when he gets back!!! Hugs to you on getting through that time and all the sickness!
I love the color scheme, but I have no clue how to change it!! I can't wait to meet you too. I graduated from Furman U. Right down the road from you at Clemson :-) I heart SC and excited about racing it!!
ReplyDeleteYup; mine to will be for every holiday for the next 2 years. But she's SOOOO pretty(drools a little)
