Team Molly Bear - NJ Tri

We're now about two and a half weeks beyond the big NJ State Triathlon. I should have posted sooner, I know, but for some odd reason things seem to be quite busy these days. I am not complaining...just making excuses.

So race day could not have been any better. The weather was terrific; the turnout was incredible; the race was well organized; and the Team members all did well (reports from Massachusetts indicate the weather and race were equally impressive up that way).

As many of you probably know by now, the Team raised over $21,000 for the Trisomy 18 Foundation. We can't thank you all enough for your support and generosity.

Pictures are up on the Shutterfly site so you can see what the set up looked like. We did our best to get some group photos but it was pretty chaotic; there were people everywhere!

We will be doing this again next year, so anyone who gave a second thought to joining the team has plenty of time to train. Sprint distance race is a 500 yard swim, 12 mile bike, and 3.1 mile run; and the course is great for a first timer.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the Team and/or the event in all the different ways you did.
