Ride & Tie, Rockin' Video, Kona Wrap Up

It's been a while since we've updated here.  I apologize I lost the internet connection in Kona and really didn't feel like venturing out with a computer to find a new one.  So we'll try to play catch up here.

Join Endure It tomorrow for our

 "Ride & Tie" at Waterfall Glen which will take place at 7:00 a.m. 

The Ride & Tie will be a fun event where you and a partner "leap frog" each other around the 9.5 mile crushed limestone loop.  One person starts on the bike, the other on the run.  The teammate on the bike drops it at a certain location on the trail (location of your choice) and then continues by running.  When the teammate who started running gets to the bike (which remember has been left on the side of the trail) they get on the bike and continue riding...you continue to go back and forth until you finish TOGETHER.  This really is a fun event and a way to do something a little different. Who knows maybe there will even be a group who will get together after for a Team Endure It breakfast.



Have you checked out our new video from the Facebook page?  Not on Facebook?  Here it is...pretty sweet:

KONA WRAP UP

Well the 2011 Ironman World Championship is in the books.  Endure It had a great time in Kona, and our athletes were tremendous! 

Endure It Rockstar Coach Mary Tobiason made it look easy with an 11:38:02, congratulations Mary on an incredible performance!

The Real Brains Behind Endure It Sara Fix crushed Kona in an incredible time of 11:10:34!  Congratulations Sara for your fastest Kona time ever!!

And Endure It Coach Rick Lapinski rounded out the crew with a time of 9:34:49.

We have to send out a special thanks to all of the Endure It Nation who made the trip out to the big island to cheer us on.  It really is incredible when you're at the turn around in Hawi and people are cheering for you, calling you by name...because they actually know you.  Endure It had an incredible presence in Kona, and again THANK YOU!!
