Trolley Run Recap

Yeah I know, I didn't run it. But I still want to recap it. It was my first Trolley Runand I woke up at 6:20 so I think I earned a little space on this blog. Plus a TriSupporter treat happened after the finish.

Christy arrived at 7 am to pick me up and we were off for the Plaza where we parked then waited in a two block long line of people to board shuttle buses. There were a record number of registrants--10,400--so it was a lot of people to shuttle to Waldo.

Once we arrived at the intersection of 75th and Wornall we saw a mass of people. The fastest runner wave was already off. After a reasonable wait at the porta-potties, we headed over to the mass of orange wave participants - Fitness walkers or something like that, as opposed to people with strollers. The weather held up and we didn't get rained on but it was chilly and a bit windy.

Once our huge wave got going there was a good amount of space for walking. At mile 1 a guy with a cowbell cheered us on to celebrate mile 1. The best mile marker though was mile 2 - The Roasterie. It happened to be a well volunteered water station but who wants water when you can have the best air roasted coffee???

Christy and I stopped, got our java and headed back on our walk. The remainder of the walk was smooth and we crossed the finish line in 1:13:11. Our pace was 18:18 but we did lose some coffee time.

The highlight was after the finish we were walking through the crowd and a guy wearing one of my shirts walked past! That was the first time I've seen someone with one of my t-shirts on here in KC!! I was pretty excited.

So, if you don't already have a TriSupporter shirt, go out to my store and get yourself one!

New T-Shirt Designs

While Ri-guy has been training for Ironman Wisconsin, I've been busy getting a few new t-shirts designs up at the store. These new designs are for the triathlete. We have a "go green" design that is perfectly paired on an organic cotton t-shirt.

If you're going to cheer on a triathlete at Ironman Louisville or Wisconsin, there is still enough time to order a custom shirt on one of our 140.6 designs. But don't wait too long or you'll have to pay more in shipping. To order a custom shirt, visit the store to check out our current designs, then email me (trisupporter at gmail dot com) with your choice for the front design and what you'd like on the back design. Our recent custom orders usually include "Team X" with X being the first, last or nick name of the person they are cheering. You can also add the race, the date, or any saying. It's up to your imagination!

Be ready for the race.

Ding, ding.
