Pro  4343    Olney, MD |  Subject: Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport ChallengeWelcome to the Cinco de Mayo Multisport Challenge! Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico (in the US it seems to be an excuse to drink Mexican beer and eat nachos; for me it's a convenient name for a challenge). The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin. Team Quintana Roo rlejeune ceilidh MDHillSlug roni_runnw disturbed275 toddg Your team is named for Quintana Roo, a state in southeast Mexico, on the eastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula; sparsely populated; contains the resort city of Cancun and the islands of Cozumel.

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport Challenge Hey all. My goals for the month: 20,000 swim, 300 bike, and 75 run. Going to be travelling for a week during the month (20-25th), so arranging everything to fit around that. Still recovering from IT band on one leg so it's still not going to be a 100mile run month. |

Hi Todd, 75 miles is still way more than anything I'm capable of! I hope you're going somewhere fun. |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport Challenge Going to St. Louis for family and friends visit. Used to live there before moving to Vegas so always good to go back and visit people. First time since 2001 we've been back in the spring, it's usually Thanksgiving of Christmas. Will finally be able to see the zoo again when it's not freezing outside. |

That looks like a pretty healthy load for the month. Good luck and I hope the IT band behaves! |

Elite 3595 Quebec, Canada | Subject: RE: Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport Challenge Good morning team My name is Robert and I am a challengaolic. For those of you that I didn't have the chance to meet yet, it's a pleasure. 2009 will be my first year of triathlon. For May I have a half mary, this Sunday. Then I have a Duathlon in two weeks and *gasps* my first triathlon the week after. So you'll all be witness of that milestone in my life If I don't drown I should finish with a good time  My goals for May are Swim - 15000 meters Bike - 640 km Run - 190 km I wonder why I didn't get at least 20 posts out of that though ...
