Team Tabasco - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport Challenge
BY: MDHillSlug on 2009-04-30 10:21 AM
Welcome 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.

I don't know if there's a relationship between the sauce and the state. I was really surprised to find that there's a state called Quintana Roo!

Hi teammates!
(Hi Jen! We are on the same team. Yea!)
Work got in the way of post padding motivating my teammates in April. I will try to do better in May.

We still need your goals.Swim:4 sessions a week (I am certifiable)=16 sessions
Bike....think I'll post hours to confuse you--oh, wait that's a state of being for most of us....16 hrs...my Century doubles so I'll be wayyyyyy over
Run= 12 sessions this month
if you're looking at 2 a days that works out to average 4x a week as a 2 a day.
not sure how many bricks....Have I confused you? Good...I confused me too

QUINTANA ROO just made me giggle when i read it on the list of teams. what a silly name.
and i wouldnt be surprised if there WAS some relationship between the sauce and the state. maybe its where it all comes from. LOL.
would be interesting to find out.
