Fundraising

Today my friend Ali and I raced in the ULM Warhawk Triathlon. There wasn't any record breaking performances on my part, but I was strong the whole time and put up a 5K time I was happy with (just over 19 minutes). Since I haven't swam since January or trained particularly hard on the bike at all, it really wasn't a bad morning.

Tomorrow we've got Trial III on the Trace. We kick-off at 9 PM and run for 45 miles. We're trying to simulate a long distance night time run, similar to what race day will be like. We may also take another look at nutrition...just depending on how the run is going.

Fundraising is moving at a nice pace. Here's what's happened so far:
April 5th: Crawfish boil at Varsity sports. We got a great deal on crawfish and are selling them at 3 lbs/$15 and 5 lbs/$20

Timex Watch sale: Timex is hooking us up with a couple boxes of brand new triathlon watches at no cost. We'll be selling these babies at $10 and $15. Pure profit.

Media: We've already had an article written by the Alexandria Town Talk, but we have stories being written by other newspapers as well. These include 225, The Advocate, and The Natchez Democrat.

Be sure to check the Relay for Life site to watch our donations rise. Remember, the amount you see on the website is actually a few hundred lower than what we've actually earned. Those few extra hundred are in checks and dollars mailed in.

Happy running!
