In this edition:

We plan to place an order to replenish our full size runs of shorts and jerseys, but that requires a high minimum, so we need to move the stock we have.  The sale is limited to the stock in the pro shop. 
Example:
Jerseys Regular- $90  Jersey Sale-$67.50
Shorts Regular-   $82  Shorts Sale- $61.50

RAAM

Race Across America is only 2 weeks away.  Eduardo Llach, Bill Kirsch, Dave Quincy and I are a four person relay team that hopes to complete the crossing in about 6 days. 

In my absence the regularly scheduled workouts will be covered by Hani Juha, Mike Ingardia, Rick Peterson, Jake Havenar and Judy Strauss.

Thanks to the team members who have already donated to our foundation in honor of our RAAM experience.

Be sure to keep your eye on Michelle Santilhano who will be attempting the race as a solo competitor.  This is undoubtedly one of the most challenging solo sports endeavors in the world.  Wish her well and offer your words of encouragement and support.
