Wow, where did the time go… Vineman is completed with 13 new Ironmen and Ironwomen on the team!

What an amazing weekend. The weather was perfect and IronTeam stepped up to every challenge that was thrown in its way - from chaotic swim starts to flat tires to blistered feet - Ironteam conquered Vineman. Congratulations to all racers! Big thanks to all the Team members who came to cheer and support!

Let’s see some race-reports! Take some time to write it all down. Send it to your donors… and send it to the team, so we can all re- live your glory!

We still have 3 races to go!   IMC/IML - one more week until taper and it’s a recovery week!! Rest is important, so get an extra hour of sleep every night. Hang in there Nikki - one more mini-pyramid after recovery week then it’s your turn for taper.

We have 1 coached workout this weekend on Sunday but Saturday is Nikki’s triple brick in Santa Cruz. It will be at either Natural Bridges or Nisene Marks - we’ll let you know as soon as it is determined. Be great to have folks over there to ride/run with Nikki and support her throughout the day.

Wednesday’s swim is an open water swim - anyone want to meet at Redwood Shores at 6:00 pm? We also have Burgess pool if you want to do a regular pool workout - 7 pm (not coached).

Vineman racers are welcome to come and join in, or just show up to bask in your post-race glory!

It was great to see you all racing this weekend. We’re so proud… and cannot wait to see the rest of you meet your goals in the coming weeks.

Stay strong, go long, and prepare for the finish line.

Your coaches,

Ann, Chris, Steve and Dan
