January 25 Run In Port Ludlow

Hello,

As many of you know, I am once again signed up to do the Victoria Half Iron Triathlon with Team in Training. As you also know, this requires me to fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I am trying to be a bit more creative with my fundraising this year so I came up with the idea that I would fund raise by staging a long run followed by a meal for the "Look Out Austin Here We Come" group.

Here is the plan. For your long run on January 25, 2009 you would travel to my beach house in Port Ludlow Washington. I will mark out a run at the distance or distances that each of you wish to run. I will provide support along the route including water stops. At the end everyone can shower and then my family and I will prepare and serve a meal (menu has not been decided yet).

If anyone wants to stay the night they are welcome, the Olympic penninsula is fun to explore including Port Townsend. I will provide directions when it is closer to January 25 but if you live in the South end you can get to Port Ludlow in 1 hour 45 minutes. From Seattle you should probably count on 2 hours. Start time is negotiable so feel free to think about it as a group.

If you decide to participate in this fun outing I am asking for a minimum donation of $50.00 to my TNT fundraising. And for the first 8 particpants that contribute Dennis and I will pick you up at the Kingston Ferry terminal so you do not have to drive on the Ferry and worry about lines.

We look forward to your participation. Donations can be made at http://pages.teamintraining.org/wa/nbhtri09/knyrop. And please respond to this blog or send an email to me at nyrop.karin@gmail.com to let me know if you will be participating.

Go Team!!
