Greetings Future and Returning Tri-Athletes, Marathoners, and Cyclists. When I joined TNT three years ago, my mentor had a general rule. He said if you didn’t write about your experience and share it with others, then it’s as if though it never happened. I’ve adopted that rule. Attached is the write up from my first Olympic distance race which took place in Austin, Texas. I hope to read your story at the end of your journey. For the repeaters, you already know how rewarding the experience is – for the cause and for you personally – and that’s why you’ve returned. For those of you that have committed and started fundraising – Go Team! I’ll see you during practices. For those of you still on the fence and undecided, I hope this inspires and motivates you to register. It’s not too late. Regards, Norma Lopez xxx-xxx-xxx Racing to Save Lives! 4.
