The Week of April 27, 2015

Thanks to all who showed up or contributed to the Crawfish Boil to support the fight to cure Multiple Sclerosis. It was great to see so much support for a cause that’s so personal to us.  Congrats to our Zers who completed the Westfield’s Triathlon. This race traditionally attracts a lot of newbies and it’s a great way to “get your feet wet” before tackling bigger challenges.

By the way, to those who attended the Haymarket group ride or the Millbrook Quarry open water swim: Well done! The weather was perfect for a ride and we had Zers who completed their very first open water swim. Good for you!

Prepare yourself Team Z. Our first outdoor team triathlon race takes place this weekend in Charlottesville, VA. Strap yourself in and buckle that bike helmet. The next six months will be crazy awesome!
