Good (Almost) Team Run

Unfortunately Mr. Jared Stitz couldn't make the run on Sunday, but oh what a run it was.  Although we didn't get an accurate Garmin pace, it took us over an hour to complete the 6 mile run.  Not to mention the exhaustion push-ups we cranked out half-way through.  Good work gents.

Thanks to Denny and Dave for coming down to my neck of the woods.  From our conversation, it sounded like at least one more team workout/run will be possible in November before the event.  I have a 10 mile run on my training calendar scheduled for the weekend of November 19th.  Any takers?  We can replicate our run from Sunday and extend it out into Key Biscayne a bit more, or we can continue down Bayshore Drive into the Grove.  So, a few options.

A couple of other points to discuss are what we are doing regarding transportation / accommodations.  Denny, I'm guessing you will probably drive from your place the morning of.  I think Jared and I will have to find someplace to spend the night up in Tampa.  Dave, you're welcome to join although I know you've crashed at Denny's before so perhaps that's an option.  Second point is regarding team attire.  Something simple like all of us wearing the same Under Armor shirt.  There are some older posts on this blog if you go back to the very beginning of it (before Dave or Jared joined the blog) where Denny and I were posting ideas on gear.  I'll try and repost those this weekend.

Also, some other things to think about with respect to gear are gloves (see older posts since Denny and I did a good amount of research into gear early on) and whether we want to carry camel packs.  I already bought the gloves I'm going to use for the event and I was reading on Facebook that there are limited water stations throughout the course, so many people carry camel packs with water, gel packs, etc.

Please post comments or thoughts.

TM!

Thoughts on Gear

Ok, so I was thinking about what we will wear on the day of the TM event.  What do you think of this Under Armour shirt?  My only concern with it is that one review says it snags really easy.  I think that would be the case with any tight dry-fit shirt, so I'm willing to risk it.  This one looks pretty cool. 

Keep in mind that I think you and I are being the most communicative right now over anyone else who has signed up, so I don't know how much we should consider what others will want to wear.  I think at some point maybe you and I decide for ourselves and then we push the suggestion out to others to see what they think.  So, we don't involve them in the initial decision making, but perhaps have 2 or 3 options to discuss with them (assuming they even care to dress alike).  Wearing, at a minimum, the same upper body attire would be nice to really represent ourselves as a team, but whatever works for everyone.  I'm pretty flexible too, but just wanted to start the conversation with this t-shirt.

Also, I ordered the gloves.  I should have them by the time you come down this weekend so you can check them out.

Peace.
