March 4th - What happened to January and February?

Tri for the Cure - March 20, 2011, is right around the corner... We have had some great clinics:  swimming, cycling, bike maintenance, running, triathlon training, and our All Star Relay team.  Hopefully by now - everyone is feeling pretty confident and ready for the event.  We have one more swim clinic this Sunday, and then our normal run/ride groups until race day.
Don't forget to register - time is running out:  www.triforthecureaz.com

The shirts and medals will be amazing with a great design by Scott L.

The T4C cyclists have been showing up on Sundays and are up to 20 miles, some have even joined the NWLB A/B group for a couple rides.  Great job gals. BIG THANKS TO PRESTON, ROLLIE, MATT M, PAT C, and ERIC M.

RUNNING - Track Workouts have been amazing, the group is larger than ever.  Don't let this intimidate you, the track is the perfect place to pick up your game and improve your speed.  Again, NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND - because you are running on a track ;-)

SWIMMING - Swim Clinics have been very successful and the turnout is impressive.  The last one is this Sunday, 3PM, Gainey Village Health Club Pool with Shawn O and Lewis E.  Hope to see you there.

BICYCLING - March 6th - 8AM Paradise Bakery, Scottsdale and Doubletree - Gainey Shops Parking Lot.  I know there are a lot of women just getting into cycling or advancing on cycling and there has been a big demand for used bicycles.  If you have one you would like to sell, or are in need of a bicycle - please email me and I'll do my best to connect BUYERS AND SELLERS!

HIKING/WALKING - I believe Lisa Kravetz is still climbing Camelback mountain every Friday - so if you are interested in hiking, send her an email:  lakravetz@cox.net

Other than that... stay tuned - more to come!

NWLB is happy for Cindy Rodarte and Tim... Ironman Cozumel - Way to Go!!!

Val said last week was cold -

Val Miller Steinberg Great ride today...really, no woman was left behind due to gracious riders who assisted with flat tires, flying seats and water bottle cages stuck in pedals! A little brisk, a few rain drops, but wonderful to be out riding off the bounties of Thanksgiving! Thanks Ladies for showing up; 14 strong at 44 degrees! :)

 

Be sure to check - If the temperature is 42 degrees or below - crawl back in bed and enjoy your day!

November 26th, 2010 - Ironman AZ and NWLB Support

  NWLB is very proud of the AZ Ironman participants!!! 

It was an unbelievable event.... and Jackie and Tracy - YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!!!

It was a great day of NWLB riding down to watch the event, standing in the rain, and hanging out in the dark as Ironman racers ran across the finish line.

Swim finish at Ironman from Mill Avenue bridge is an amazing sight.

Tracy Britton waiving at the NWLB Gang!!  Looking good on the bike Tracy.

We saw Jackie on the bike - looking good, but didn't get to see her finish - I'm sure she looked as happy as Chrissie Wellington.  I do know that Kathy Zanath was at the finish and was happy to hang the Ironman Medal on Jackie - sooooo proud of you gals.

OTHER NWLB Events and Sightings..... Congrats to those that conquered the El Tour de Tucson - Su-Shien and Anna Natcher, and many more...

 Nice to see NWLB in many events, and making us proud.
