Are you clever? Please help!

I haven’t signed up for a triathlon yet, but I have agreed to be the running leg of a triathlon relay race! Sally is going to swim and Kevin is going to bike. We’re going to do the Ballantyne Triathlon in July, and I’m excited because the bike leg practically goes right past my house. We need a team name though. Can you help?

The background, in case it helps you help me think of a team name:

=  Sally  just moved to Rock Hill from California. She was a swim coach for 8 years. This will be her first triathlon and Kevin and I wrestled her into it. She’s an awesome swimmer though!

= Kevin is my brother, I write about him all the time if there’s anything you need to know. He lives in Fort Mill. He does triathlons all the time – just started about a year ago.

= And me. This is the first tri I’ve “officially” agreed to although I’ve still got my eye on one a few weeks prior in Fort Mill.

We don’t expect to be super-fast but we do expect it to be super-fun. And who knows, maybe we’ll do more of them as a team if we enjoy it enough! So the team name needs to be awesome and lasting.

Help, please!

I’ll tri anything, once …

So, Kevin is the awesomest brother in the world because he suggested a “fake triathlon” at our grandmother’s house (she lives on Lake Wylie.) This would help to ease my mind regarding any coordination issues that could with 3 sports in one event. Plus, it’d be a great excuse to try out my new tri suit! [...]

How about a threesome?*

The great thing about social networking is that you can meet others that have similar interests to you. Because of that, I have lots of graphic designers who are also runners on my social radar – and it’s awesome! I got to meet one of these designer/runner types yesterday (trust me, there are a lot [...]

What’s next?

So you guys want to know what’s next after the Thunder Road Marathon, huh? Me too. I’m still in recovery and taking it easy but I can’t wait to get back out there. The first official thing on the calendar is our annual Mount Mitchell winter trip. It’s coming up in a couple of weeks, [...]

On chasing hot, shirtless guys and new bikes and running in the middle of the night

Busy weekend. I was on deadline this weekend with one of my magazine clients. August is Healthy Kids month, so be sure to pick up your copy of Natural Awakenings if you have kids or if you just want to see my design work! Friday night after working, Jeff and I headed up to Big [...]

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)

I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner [...]

Swimming, biking, running, sunburn.

Ok, I know I talk about working out waaaay too much on this blog, but this weekend was an extraordinary one so I just have to mention it. The running First I raced a 10K with Kevin, who totally kicked my butt (by 10 minutes) as he probably will with all races in the future. [...]
