TNT Kickoff

I got to kickoff late, because as I was cutting and pasting the address, I missed the first digit of the street number and I was off by ten blocks. Luckily, some kind strangers were able to point me in the right direction.

At the kickoff, there were a lot of booths with fund-raising and training information. I meet up with my mentor, Irene and took a picture with her. Her booth was about car washes.

The kickoff was in the auditorium and it was really cool to see all the different groups in the same place. There was a section for the marathoners, the cyclists, the hikers and the triathletes. Even the triathletes were split into a east-side and west-side group. It was nice to see everyone there and the energy in the room was really positive. I really hope we have a chance to hang out with the entire group soon.

I got to meet one of my teammates in the auditorium. Her name was Tracy and she's actually done an event with Team in Training before. She took part in a century ride which is a bicycle ride of 100 miles. She was pretty confident that it would be easy to get back in shape of the bike part of our triathlon. I wish I could share her confidence with my own ability.
