Why Not Get Involved?

The Endure It Club has been busy training and racing all summer. We really want to make a better "team" effort to support everyone racing and training from here on out. So with that said there are a few ideas we have to get things rolling, but the ideas only work with your help! How can you help? It's really pretty simple, share with us your racing plans, support our "team" events, not only racing and training, but social events too, and pose your questions.

This blog is about to get more active, some things to look forward to are:

The Endure It Group Ride/BBQ - August 17 @ 6:00 pm - Endure It Naperville
The Scavenger Run (date coming shortly)
Ironman Wisconsin on course spectating - September 11
An Endure It presence at the Chicago Cyclocross Series
Weekly Training Tips on Swim/Bike/Run/Nutrition/Cross-training/Strength/Mental Training

We are always open to ideas and suggestions, if you have any (or would like the training tips to cover a certain topic) please email Rick at ricklapinski@hotmail.com

Scavenger Run - Monday August 8 @ 6:00 p.m.

Introducing Endure It's Scavenger Run on Monday August 8th at 6:00 p.m. leaving from Endure It Life in Downtown Naperville. Bring a friend or two and a camera phone, don't have a friend (we feel sorry for you) come and we'll make sure you have a team to join. Teams can include anywhere from 2-4 people (or more if you really want to). The scavenger run will include several clues of locations you have to run to and use your camera phone (or digital camera) to prove you were at the locations. The run will be in the 4-5 mile range and the entire team must stay together for the duration of the run, as will be evidenced by the photo's. This will surely be a great way to start the week, and will be a nice change to your training.

Prizes will be available for the winning team, as well as various raffle prizes to be picked randomly.  We really hope you join us for this new fun event!

To RSVP or if you have questions email Rick (ricklapinski@hotmail.com)

 

Enduring the Triple Bypass

Check out our club members who managed to Endure the Triple Bypass ride out in Colorado this past weekend. Four of them even managed to do the double, that is 240 miles in two days with 20,000 feet of elevation gain.

Congrats and looking good guys!

Endure It Running Tops

We have had several people request a running top with the Endure It logo to wear at their running races, since everyone has a different preference on what they would like for a running top we have come up with a great solution.

If you are interested in getting a Endure It branded shirt, go out and get any running shirt (white, gray or black is probably best) bring it to either the Naperville or Willowbrook store and Endure It will pay to have the logo put on at Boomer T's.

If interested please drop off your shirt by April 15th preferably in a labeled bag or even better have your mom put your name on the tag so we can make sure we get the correct shirt back to the right people.
