Oh...and you forgot a basic food group.

COOKIES.

I am the official cookie monster of this group. I could eat my way out if I were trapped in a cookie castle. But I am pleased to report, that I love Nutella as well.

Hi all...as I already know some/most of you I will tell you the truth...and let GPOL, Lyssa, etc. fill in the gaps with the lies, B.S. rest of the information.

Retired firefighter/paramedic with 3 children and 3 grandchildren.  I coach college and high school baseball and now softball as well.  Live just N.E. of Atlanta Ga. and have been incarcerated married for 33 years.

I come from a recreational running background and my first tri is June 22 (a short sprint  of 400 yds./10 mi./2 mi.) and I am in preliminary base building for my first marathon in Jan at Disney.  Endurance in the pool is my biggest challenge.

You know...we could just cut to the chase and call our team....."The Winning Team"

dcrunningdiva - 2008-05-27 7:15 AM Name Suggestion: 1. TRI NUTS 2. NUTS FOR TRIS 3. YOU ARE NUTS IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO BEAT TEAM 1 (oh, okay...maybe it's a LITTLE too long for a name...) 4. WE ARE NUTS BUT WE'RE #1 5. CHATTY NUTS Oh...and by the way...I have NEVER been good at coming up with team names!

 

True that     



I told you so!

However, I was thinking about this today and came up with this:

TOTALLY NUTTY TRIATHLETES (a.k.a. TNT)

Our motto can be: We're the bomb (or, "we da bomb")



OR

We're explosive!

OOOhhhhhhh........ice cold margarita, cold beer (cheap of course to go with pizza); but alas not while I am deployed to the desert -- BUMMER!!!!

Staioned now at Travis AFB. CA but I spend very little time there. As of now I am deployed to sunny (did I mention HOT) Camp Arifjan, Kuwiat.

Cookies as a basic food group ..... let's see ..... Ok I can live with that. How does everyone eat their Oreos? Filling first? All at once? Split apart with filling on one half and one side plain?

Fun times are deffinately ahead for this group. Woo Woo!!!

I've lived in Germantown, MD, Arlington, Reston and now Sterling, VA. Half iron - that's my next big goal. I just started tri'ing this year and absolutely love it. My first sport is running and I've done the Marine Corps Marathon twice and the Shamrock Marathon (VA Beach) once. I had a baby in between there somewhere! I'm 24 years old (oops...did I say that...I mean 42...) and have a 9 and a 2 year old.

BTW, I now have "FAME" stuck in my head for the rest of the day....that doesn't go well with severe allergies (or possibly the flu)...where is the closest toilet...

MY BIL was last stationed at Travis and my DH is a Ret USAF MSgt. I'm going to Cali in January to celebrate my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Maybe you'll be "home" by then! I love Cali and all but it was initially going to be held in JAPAN!!!! I totally wanted the Japanese anniversary celebration! (my DH is Japanese, BTW).

Sending a cool breeze your way.....

I like my Oreos covered in ice cream.  Everything is better with ice cream...and maybe some chocolate syrup and whipped cream.  Yum!

Hey there, Team 1.  I'm Emily in Indiana.  Looking forward to a fun June challenge!

Wellllll, you DID request "a chatty team," didn't you?

And, being the good challenge organizer that I am, I listened closely to your request, thought hard... And put you HERE.

Fasten your seatbelts - it's gonna be a wild month. LOL

Um. I'll let you debate that with your teammates. LOL

You're first on the list because you were the first person to sign up AND request a chatty team. Although, you merely requested to be with Julie and Lynne. In my mind though, that translated to "chatty, chatty, chatty." LOL

Ugh! I think I have the flu. I attended a funeral this morning, came home and did a few things online and then went to bed. I've been up occasionally to check my email, etc. (I run a business from home so I have to be on top of things even when I'm sick) but I've pretty much been in bed all day. I guess my body is getting all the yuck out of it this week so I can kick some butt in June!
