Ride and Tie
Last Sunday, the team had our "ride and tie". It's a brick training event involving 2 person teams that share a mountain bike, alternating between running and biking in a leap frog pattern around a nearly 2.5 mile loop. It is designed to help get your legs used to running off the bike which is much harder then it sounds (after biking hard, your running muscles are super tight it feels like your legs are made of lead). At the end of each loop, you have to run up a hill with your partner and complete a challenge before you can continue on.
This event is one of the more creative and fun events of the year as costumes are encouraged and the challenges tend to be very fun and also tend to lend themselves to great (and embarrassing) photo moments :-)
This is at the startline
There are many more pictures from the day but I can only post five per entry. If anyone is interested in seeing others, just let me know.

And last but not least, the winner of the costume competition... Me!!! I am hesitant to post pictures as my family will likely see this but it is all in fun.
