Well, it's official. I signed the dotted line (figuratively speaking) to become a member of the Playtri Race Team for 2013. This is a group of athletes that represent Playtri at local and national races, and as ambassadors for health and multisport. I wasn't expecting to race with the team, but when they approached me today, well, it's hard to say no to your own race team!!
What does this mean? Basically you'll see me wearing even more Playtri gear than usual.
It will be fun to get to know this group of athletes better both in training and racing, and socially. I look forward to competing with them this year.
In other news, I was exceptionally proud of my Team Playtri Elite athletes today - they had a 5 hour day at camp and they were very focused and worked extremely hard. They have made so much progress on the bike especially since they first began. All had clipless pedals and were comfortable riding in a two abreast paceline and demonstrating an ability to move around within that pack. Road cyclists can tell you - that ain't easy for anyone, let alone 12-19 year olds! It made me even more determined to make them proud when I race with them in May. (Well, not with them, but on the same day at the place). Hopefully the old lady coach can really keep up!
Last thing (it was a busy day)... we finally got to visit the site for our NEW north facility at the Cooper Craig Ranch complex in McKinney! It is 10,908 square feet and the grand opening is set for May of 2013. The contracts are all signed and the Dallas Morning News already released the story online and in print. It will be the biggest triathlon store in the world, and is surrounded by some of the best trails and roads for training that I've ever seen - they even have a gigantic field where I can play bike tag with the kids! It's triathlon heaven all over again.
Tomorrow is more time with my TPE athletes, and then strength training and running for their coach. Can't wait.
