New River Valley Triathlon Champions

Who will be the 70-and-over champion of the New River Valley Triathlon in 2009?  Who will need to return to defend that title in 2010?

Someone like this 71-Year-Old Triathlete? (from The Gazette, 8/25/08)

Who will be the first man and the first woman to cross the finish line of the inaugural New River Valley Triathlon in 2009? 

Who will be the first place finishers in each age group?

Who will cross the finish line and feel like a winner for having even finished such a challenge?

Lots of questions to answer!

The organizers are hard at work.  As soon as we know the date, you will!

Thanks, Roanoke.com!

Local Triathlon Coach Will Do Louisville Ironman a Second Time

Kati Derrick, president of the Roanoke Valley Triathlon Club and local area triathlon coach, heads to Louisville, Kentucky on August 31, 2008 to race the Louisville Ironman--for the second time.

Kati completed her first Ironman in August, 2007.  In her Reflections Upon Completing an Ironman, Kati wrote, "I found a new confidence and inner light on August 26th – one that I plan on keeping forever."

Virtual spectators can track her race on IronmanLIVE on the race date.  Her bib number is 1341.

On the Roanoke Valley Triathlon Club's listserv, Kati wrote, "Every time I cross a timing mat I think about folks back home cheering for me and watching me online, so again, your support is priceless to me!!"

We'll be watching!

Go, Coach Kati!

Team in Training

From Jan McGilliard via the New River Valley Bicycle Association:

Here's an opportunity to explore your domestic side.  I know - some of you will say you don't have one....but you'll know someone who does and I ask you to pass this along to those who might be interested.  Thanks!

Gain a new skill - help the cause:   I'm collaborating with Our Daily Bread and Loy Campbell, a college student with great decorating skills to bring you two class opportunities: a cupcake decorating class (Sun. Aug. 17, 2008, 3:30-5 PM) and a cake decorating class (Mon., Aug. 18, 2008, 7:00-8:30 PM). 

Your $25 contribution will go to my fund raising efforts for Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  I'm doing The Nations Triathlon on Sept. 14, my first olympic distance triathlon.  I may be nuts but it should be fun.
