Misfit's Triathlon

Misfit’s 9/11 Sprint Triathlon

When: Saturday, 09/11/10 @ 7am
Where: Big Rock Quarry/Forest Preserve, Jericho Rd west of Rt 47
Who: All Misfits…and Misfit friends. Anyone who’s conquered a tri, anyone who’s always wanted to attempt one, or anyone who wants to hang with the ‘fits and have a good time.


The course:
Swim: Starting about 7:15 am, the race will begin with a ¼ mile swim in the Quarry. The entire swim route will be shallow enough to stand (unless any midgets are coming) if you need a break
Transition: The parking lot is a short jaunt from the Quarry, where you’ll grab your bike.
Bike: An easy, level scenic 12 mile country ride.
Transition: Ride back into the same lot where you picked up your bike and get your racin’ shoes on.
Run: 5K (3.1 mile) mostly off-road run through the forest preserve.
Stuff you may need: Goggles, towel, floaties (?), bike, bike shoes (?), running shoes, party attitude. Let “us” know if you need any of the above and we’ll do the best we can to provide them for you!!

*A $5-10 money donation would be appreciated....In case we need to bail anyone out of forest preserve jail!!!

Peace out girl and boyscouts!!!! Hope to see you all there

Holiday Boys and Girl

Misfits,

Today was a great day! Some of us participated in the innaugural Lake Holiday Sprint Triathlon in Somonauk, IL.

Al had a stellar performance as usual, placing 5th male and 6th overall with a time of 1:00 and then some miliseconds. Kristen was the second overall female with a time of 1:06:46, Ron placed third in his age group with a time of 1:10 and some miliseconds and no one knows was Stan's final time was, but it was good!!

Stay tuned for upcomming Misfit sponsored events, ala Ron and associated workouts. Following cocktails the other day, some of the founding members of the Misfits thought it would be a great idea to put on a few more athletic events with a similar flare to that of the Gobbler Gallop. So hang on to your seats, there was talk of a triathlon (in Ron and Amy's backyard pool), a crosscountry showdown somewhere in Aurora courtesy of Amy #2 and who knows what FLT will come up with. We're not sure if we're letting Stain play, mainly because clothes are a must!

Peace out girl and boyscouts, 

Special K
