hello Yogabear,
I've had the honor to complete a 1/2 marathon, 3 marathons and 1 century bike ride with TNT. All events were a wonderful experience! I've met a lot of friends along the way that will remain life-long friends . . something about sweating together as you travel all of those miles. . . go figure! My first event was the 1/2 marathon in 2004. Then I got the "full" marathon bug and went on to complete 3 of those . . it's "addicting." My most recent event was the century in June 2007, America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride in Lake Tahoe. I switched to cycling so that my husband and I could participate in an event together. He wouldn't run ANYWHERE even if his life depended on it! Anyway, it was a huge accomplishment for me as when I started, I was new to clipless pedals and could barely ride in a straight line. I kissed pavement MANY a time! Now . . I'm hooked, although I still struggle to change my flat tires (that's why I keep hubby around!). Anyway, TNT got me to the finish line and that's no joke! You will not regret your experience with TNT ! The fundraising is a challenge but you get lots of support with that along the way along with the physical challenges of finishing an endurance event. . . sounds "corny" but my participation with TNT has really enhanced my life! When I'm encountering a challenge that seems really tough, I just "dig deep" and remember that I've completed the marathon and the century . . nothing is impossible for me! The Triathlon is next . . probably in 2009. . . got to work on the swimming. Good luch in your decision and You go girl!
