The Weekly Tri

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

Ladies and Gentlmen,

IT’S SUNNY OUTSIDE.  Even if it’s only for this morning before the thunderstorms roll in this afternoon, there is a big ball of fire shining down on us from billions of miles away today.  Be excited about that.  I ran without a shirt on yesterday.  People were excited about that.

THE WEEK THAT WAS:

-Erin Boutwell competed in the Smith Mountain Lake Sprint Tri (Smith Mt. Lake, VA) over the weekend.  Time of 1:36:05.  According to sources, this means that she dropped nearly 5 minutes on her time just since nationals.  THIS IS AWESOME!

-The Cinco de Miler saw several peoples race especially fastly.

Aaron Blumenthal: 8:25 pace

Kendyl: 8:52 pace

Mitch: 6:16 pace.  2nd in his age group (lost by 3 seconds), and 22nd overall.

THE WEEK TO BE:

-Tower Tri: myself, Heather, Dave, and the entire Minor family will be competing out in Niles on Sunday morning.  Waves start at 7:00.  It’s only 20 minutes away, so if you want to come cheer, COME.

-Chicago Spring Half Marathon: Andrea, Lynne, and Anna (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out) are all running in it.  If you’re not coming to Niles, GO CHEER FOR THEM EVEN LOUDER!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-On Saturday, if you’re looking for a good competitive 5k to race in, there’s one on campus.  It benefits an organization that I’ve been a part of since I was in 8th grade and means a lot to me.  It’s called Young Life.  Sign up at signmeup.com/74847 or go to the YL website at northshore.younglife.org.  I know people have races and all that other stuff on their plates, but it would be really cool if some of you came out to run.  I’ll definitely be there.

-Be on the lookout for [Important] emails from exec about some events next week.  We have a nutritionist, the last open exec meeting before ELECTIONS, and other things.

-Kelli Marks started fundraising for her Bike and Build trip this summer.  Talk to her or check facebook if you want to donate.

-NU Tri will be doing a philanthropy event on 6/4/11.  SET THIS DATE ASIDE PLEASE.  We’ll be helping out an organization called World Bike Relief that does some really amazing things.  Stay tuned for more info as I get it worked out.

SHOUT OUT OF THE WEEK:
