Gorlocks Team Thread (Sept. Run Challenge)

Beg, bribe, or coerce someone to be your team captain.

Let me know who it is.

Thanks!

Any takers for the team captain? 

Some background info:

I'm Erica.  I am 29 and this is my first year in tri's.  Loving every moment of it thus far.  I have one more sprint this year.  I have a half marathon in October for my final race of the year.  Well, maybe not final but it's my biggest, most intimidating one!  I'll probably through in a few 5k's and a 5 miler as well in November.  Umm, I have three wonderful kids (7 y/o girl, 5y/o boy, 4 y/o boy) and am married to a submariner in the US Navy.   They keep me super busy. 

I guess that about sums up my life right now!  Let's hear about you!

I second the nomination for Erica as team captain.

Who am I? A 44-year old wanna' be athlete. I've done triathlon for about 5 years now, completed several sprints and olys and 3 half ironmans. I am training for IMFL, and if I survive the next 2 months, I should be on the beach at Panama City on Nov 1 as a finely honed racing machine (in my mind anyway).

I live with my husband, our chocolate lab, and two kitties in Madison, MS. We are VA natives, though (and pining to return home). I work for an aerospace company writing proposals. Yeah. Fun.

I picked the running challenge because, for whatever reason, my running has become slow and painful. It used to be my strongest sport, and what I did before I did triathlon (I've done 14 marathons because I love marathons!). So, I figure a good ol' kick in the patoot should get me going again.

Anyway, this is my first challenge, and I really look forward to doing this with everyone.

I'm ecstatic to be part of this group!

 My name's Roo! I'm 19 and going to be 2nd yr in college! I know a youngin' right? Well, I'm still fresh into the sport as I did my first tri in feb. Two tris and one 10k so far! I LOVE night runs, esp midnight ones! College will pretty much start late in september, so I have more time to run! Would really love to improve my mile runs and get back to <6.50min/mi when in highschool which is why I picked this challenge!!!

 Looking forward to see what unfolds ahead of us!

New team roster!!

Edited to fix typo.  

Here's your final roster:

jsnowash - 2008-09-01 7:12 PM Hey Gorlocks! HAPPY SEPTEMBER!! I was on the bike today, but hope to hit the road running tomorrow (after the kids head back to SCHOOOOOOLLLL!) I can't believe summer's over

The summer did fly by for us too.  I always loved the first day of school as a kid.  Love it as a mom too!  

I'm up for 4.5 miles today and praying the Garmin doesn't crap out on me again!  How about you guys?

New team roster, again!! 

Good question!  Hopefully we'll hear from them soon!
