THE WEEKLY TRI!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This is The Weekly Tri.  It is raining.  I’m tired of it.  Who wants to move to Florida with me?

THE WEEK THAT WAS:

-This color is pink.  I hope everyone had fun for Easter!

THE WEEK TO COME:

-Nationals watch party at Kendyl’s.  On Saturday!  BE THERE!!!!  Relive the memories.  Remember the moments.  See yourself/teammates on TV.  Mostly though, watch people sweat.  Email Kendyl for more info.

-If you’re running the cinco de miler (5/7) talk to mitch

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-If you’re doing the Tower Tri (5/15), talk to me

-If you’re going to Memphis (5/21), talk to mitch

-Come see my show!  Waa Mu!  It’s this weekend and next weekend in Cahn.  It’s funny.  It’s about the Northwestern experience and getting through college.  It’s topical.  We open this Friday and run through 5/8.  Tickets attic.northwestern.edu/waamu

-If you ever wanted to see NU athletes do ridiculous things that might be referred to as talents, go to the NU student athlete talent show on 5/3 at 7:00.  See attached flyer.

The Weekly Tri

THE WEEKLY TRI!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This.  Is.  The.  Weekly.  Tri.  Good morning! It looks like today is going to be the first day this week where I don’t have to wear my winter coat.  I’ve been noticing that people are getting sick here and there, a little cough here, a little mucus there.  I wish all of us a speedy recovery.  Spring will have sprung soon enough and all the chills, ills, and cheap electric bills of winter will be in the rearview mirror.

THE WEEK THAT WAS:

-Practice resumed after Nationals and so did school.  Happy Passover for those who are celebrating it!

THE WEEK TO BE:

-Happy Easter on Sunday!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-So far, the only people that I know of that are coming to Tower Tri are: myself, Aaron, and the entire Minor family.  THAT’S RIGHT.  If you want to major in the Minors, come to Niles with us on 5/15.  Once again, this race is PERFECT for beginners.  Email me once you’ve registered please so I can start organizing everything.

-Starting next week on Friday (4/29), the 80th annual Waa Mu Show: “What’s Next?” opens!  If you’ve always wondered why it is that theatre majors go to all that rehearsal, and/or wanted to see a big-ticket show at NU, here’s your chance.  I’m in it and play the frat star (I may or may not do push-ups on stage).  If you have no idea what Waa Mu is, it’s an entirely student-written musical comedy that plays on different things encountered here at NU.  It’s also my last show ever, so that’s a big deal.  The show runs 4/29-5/8 on Th, Fri, Sat nights with matinees on Sat and Sun afternoons.  Tickets can be bought attic.northwestern.edu/waamu

-Even though Joseph Edmund blatantly disregarded the listserv rule with his call for dream homes yesterday….I will include it again here.  His ice cream shop is trying to win “Best Ice Cream Shop in Warren County”.  It’s in Iowa.  Go here:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2011WarrenCounty to vote for him (scroll down to #23 and enter “The Outside Scoop”).

ADDENDUM TO THE WEEKLY TRI:

It has just been brought to my attention that last week was was the Rockdale Ramblin’ Run (touted by many as “the toughest 10k in the midwest”).  Young Sherman, Vickie, Kendyl, Val, Naomi, Paula, and Leah all volunteered and cheered on AKrush and Anna as they ran.

Results:

Anna Bisaro = 53:35 (1st in the female 15-19 age group)

AKrush = 57:29 (3rd in the female 20-24 age group)

BOTH ARE PR’S AND PODIUM FINISHES!!!!!!!!  High Fives All Around!

The Weekly Tri

THE WEEKLY TRI!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I come to you from the Tech library this morning with a warm heart full of warmth.  This team is really one of the greatest organizations I’ve ever been a part of and that was so apparent this weekend in Tuscaloosa.  I want to personally thank all of you that came down and made the trip such a success.  If you’re longing to go back and live in a little bubble of triathlon world, you’re not alone.  Let’s do this more often!

 

THE WEEK THAT WAS:

-USAT Collegiate Nationals (Tuscaloosa, AL): with 21 people racing in both events, we had our biggest team ever to go to Nationals.  It was hotter than Hades down there, but undeterred, we raced with all we had.  Several PR’s.  Mitch was top 100 in the male race.  Peter Craig was top 25 in the sprint race.  Nev liked the smell.  Kendyl peed on the run.  If you are one of the people who didn’t go, we sincerely hope you can come next year, this is really the epitome of races/road trips and I couldn’t be more proud of how it went.  If you’re looking for results, usatriathlon.org has them all, plus more.

 

THE WEEK TO COME:

-Get back to work!!!  The season just started and I want to go faster.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-CBS Sports Network will debut separate one-hour telecasts on Friday, April 29 with the women’s event airing at 10 p.m. ET, followed by the men’s event at 11 p.m. ET.  THIS WILL BE A SOCIAL EVENT.  OR ELSE.  But we need to find somewhere that has CBS Sport Network (this is not the regular CBS channel).  If you are one of those people that has expanded cable in your apartment or house….EMAIL ME ASAP.

-The Tower Tri:  This is a VERY EASY sprint race in Niles, IL (only 20 minutes away) at the YMCA there on 5/15.  Registration is unfortunately closed at this time though.  If you are doing this race, email me so we can organize who’s going.

-Memphis in May is coming up!  5/21-5/22.  Be on the lookout for emails from exec for that trip.  If you’re still thinking about it, email Rich or Mitch and they’ll convince you.  I have to stand in a wedding in S. Carolina that weekend, so I can’t come.

-The NUTri team is going to be doing a philanthropy event in partnership with World Bicycle Relief.  I’m still ironing out the details, but keep on the lookout for emails about that.

The Weekly Tri

THE WEEKLY TRI!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about this periodical in all the hubbubbbb (too many bbbb’s, get over it).  But this is going to be quick.

 

THE WEEK THAT WAS:

-I don’t even remember.  A lot of people tapered.

-Dave Bierschenk (I can never spell that, I apologize now) successfully defended his thesis from a hoard of pussycats (aka professors).  They tried to scratch holes in it and rip it to shreds, but he said, “NO WAY PUSSYCATS!  THIS IS MY THESIS!  GO BOTHER DOMINO’S PIZZA FOR A CHANGE!”  This means that young David has completed his rite of manhood and will be crowned in a coronation ceremony this upcoming leap year.  For more information, visit Dave.

 

THE WEEK TO BE:

-News flash: USAT Collegiate Nationals are on Saturday.  22 brave souls will race under the colors of the NUTri flag in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  If you haven’t known about this, you should ask yourself if you can read.  THIS IS REAL.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-Load the trailer tonight 5-8pm at SPAC.  If you don’t bring it, we won’t pack it.  Plain and simple.

-Meet at the SPAC parking lot at 10:00am tomorrow morning for departure.  DO NOT FORGET THE $150 IN CASH!!!!  You don’t bring it, you don’t come.  Plain and simple.

-If you’re not coming with us this weekend….have a lovely weekend.  Should be nice outside.  Play kickball.  Kick the ball, run around bases.  Plain and simple.

 

SHOUT OUT OF THE WEEK:

LYNNE KIESLING.  IT WAS RICHARD III PEOPLE, COME ON.

 

sweet home alabama (you had to know that was coming),
