Hi Colorado TRIbe!!
A bit of some cool news from San Diego headquarters...
Next week our GOTRIbal "Shirts Off!" to the Troops National 5k Fun Run and Walk will be announced in the press.
We're giving your TRIbe a wee bit of a head's up to learn more about it first!
Here's the special details: http://gotribalshirtsoff.eventbrite.com/
When: Dec 11, 7:00 - 7:00 pm PST
Who: Anyone, everyone! Run, walk or roll -- 3 miles!
Goal: 2,011 miles! To celebrate the year our Troops came home
Hi ladies and welcome to GOTRIbal. If you're interested in meeting up for any swim/bike/run, just post here and if anyone can join you, they'll respond.
My name is Maria, I'm the Colorado GOTRIbal chief. Please make sure you have signed up for the newsletter - Tanya does an awesome job keeping everyone informed.
Huge thanks to GOTribal for hosting the dinner with Chrissie Wellington for tonight! I'm giddy with excitement!
On another note- anyone out there doing the Irongirl on Saturday? I may be there by myself, I don't think the hubs wants to drag the kids out to the reservoir for another tri!
Wow Wendy! 5th place Ironman - that's just awesome! You go Girl!
Anyone doing the Tri for the Cure next weekend? If so, how do I find you in transition to say hello?
Would love to meet up with fellow triathletes in the Parker area.
Hi Julie. I've raced the Kansas 70.3 twice. I started the Boulder 70.3 last year (DNF - long story). I'm racing the Boulder 70.3 this year. The bike course in Boulder is pretty darn flat for being so close to mountains. Keep sunscreen nearby for T2, the run is very open and exposed. I'm sure you'll do just fine!
Maria
Nice job getting those two under your belt- and that stinks about your Boulder DNF- you'll get it done this year! I feel like I was a little crazy not to do a sea level 70.3 for my first one, but I guess I don't have to worry about shipping my bike somewhere!
I heard that the 70.3 course was flat and fast, and I knew the sprint distance was flat and fast- but I made the mistake of thinking that the Boulder Peak tri would be flat too (Now I know why it's called the Boulder "Peak"!) I train on hills all the time, but it was definitely a different experience to race on them!
Thanks for the advice on the sunscreen- do you know if it is the same loop as the Boulder Peak tri but just twice around? :)
Julie
Jen,
Great job today at Pelican Fest! Every time I saw you in the event, you were smiling. I was so happy to get through the swim. My hands were shaking afterward and it made getting out of the wetsuit a challenge. You are doing amazing in the swim. Keep it up.
Belynda
Thanks Belynda! You did amazing too and you are definitely on your way to completing Ironman Arizona! Keep me up to date on your accomplishments...it's very motivating to see and hear what all you will be doing this summer. Good luck and I hope to see you at another race.
Hi all,
I'm new to GoTribal but just wanted to say Hi. I have always been a runner and have done many duathlons over the past few years and now I'm trying my hand at triathlons! I've done two sprint tri's and I fell in love! This year I'm signed up for the Pelican Fest Tri, Boulder Sprint, and Boulder Peak! Tri's are a challenge for me since I just learned to swim last summer. I just bought a wet suit last week so I'm super excited for more learning this year. I'm slow but motivated. If anyone wants to train in the Boulder/Nederland area give me a shout.
Thanks,
Jen ☺
Hey gals,
Is anyone doing any of the Boulder Marathon events on March 27th? They have a full and half-marathon, a 10-miler, and a 10k. I signed up for the 10-miler because I'm doing a half in mid-April. I'd love to meet some of you.
Also, any of you doing the Community Classic Bike Tour in Loveland on May 17th (not sure if its the 17th - its a Sunday)? I'm doing the metric-century - I've done it 5 times and it's a wonderful bike ride. It starts at McKee Medical Center in Loveland and goes up to Carter Lake (gorgeous views but steep climb with switchbacks), down the north side, up through Masonville and the backside of Horsetooth Reservoir, then back to McKee. The weather is usually fantastic and they have lots of great food afterwards too! Last year, the shirt was really nice - its one of my favorite tee's now. Let me know if you are doing it - would love to ride with some GOTRIbal chic's!
Howdy!
I'm new to GOTRIbal but love it - would enjoy meeting you all sometime. I live in Greeley but could meet for a ride or run in FC or Boulder or anywhere in northern CO. Believe it or not, there are some awesome routes from west Greeley to Loveland/FC and/or Johnstown and back (you get a great view of the front range that way!).
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm also the nutrition expert for GOTRIbal now so feel free to ask me any nutrition questions too.
Rock on!
Cindy
Hi Cindy! Welcome to GOTRIbal and thanks for being one of our nutrition experts!
I'm looking to ride in the Greeley/Loveland area this summer (I live in Littleton). Not sure if I will get up that way to ride before then (brrrr....cold!). However, if I'm up that way, I'll zap you a note. Maybe we can meet for a run or a cup of coffee.
Maria
Hey Maria,
A run or cup of coffee would be great - call or text me if you're up this way 970-518-7469. Ditto for anyone else here.
Yeah, I'm not riding outside this winter but this spring and summer I will be and would love to get some group rides going. Maybe we could alternate locations between Denver, Boulder, Greeley, Loveland, FC, etc. I have a lot of great routes from here but I'm always open to new ones!
I'm going to do a half-marathon trail run in April so I'd also be up for some long runs, either on or off-road. I usually run long on Saturday mornings but could do an occasional Sunday. I'm coming off some injuries so I'm pretty slow right now!
Anyway, nice to connect with you - have a great week!
Cindy

What plans do you all have for 2011? Many events opened registration on the 1st. What did you sign up for?
Let's keep this TRIbe active!
Jen
I am a newbie to the sport of Triathlons and Running 1/2 marathons.
I am looking for a running/riding/training partner. I work Downtown denver and live north of Erie. Thinking about joining the Tri Babes group but Boulder is sooooooo far from Frederick/Firestone! LOL Would love to find a local group of gals to train with.
Any other gals interested in training with me? If so - please email me at dare_devil_deva@yahoo.com
Hi ladies, just getting back into Triathlon after a year hiatus.
Love hearing how well you all did last weekend, congratulations!
Looking forward to your friendship and comaraderie in the months ahead and especially through the winter!
Terri
Hi ladies!!
I need some help in the GOTRIbal booth on Friday, August 27 for the expo. Can anyone help me? If Syracuse is any indication of how popular GOTRIbal is, we're going to be SLAMMED and I'd love to have the Colorado gals out in force!!
If you are racing Iron Girl?? Registration closes on August 23! Please feel free to use the discount code CCIGGOTR02.
Thanks.

COLORADO GOTRIbal goddesses -
IRON GIRL BOULDER IS COMING UP on Saturday, August 28! I received an email from one of their coordinators and she's asking for volunteer help!
Andrea asks:
We are looking for volunteers on expo day, which is Friday, August 27th to help with registration, goody bag and bike check in. Or on race day we have plenty of other jobs to help with if anyone from your group would be interested!
If you can help on either day, could you please let me know and I'll send a list to Andrea.
GOTRIbal will have a booth at the Expo, so please stop by to say hi to our Founder, Tanya Maslach!
Thanks,
Maria
Nicole,
Let me check with Tanya and some of my back emails and I'll get back to you. Sorry for the late reply.
I'll be at the race as well and I'm HOPING that both Tanya and Chrissie will make appearances.
Been a little wacky the last two weeks with the final push to Boulder 70.3.
I hope your season is going well and I'm looking forward to meeting you at the IronGirl event!
Maria
Hi ladies! Mark your calendars! What: Diva Night Where: Boulder Running Company, 8116 West Bowles Avenue, Littleton, CO 80123 When: Thursday, April 30 at 6:00pm They give away a ton of prizes - plenty of vendors there to try out. It's a fun evening ending with a fashion show! Let me know if you're going to be there! I'll be the gal in the GOTRIbal shirt! Maria
Hi ladies! A message below from Tanya asking us to help with taking a survey. Here's the link: http://survey.io/survey/7521e I am trying to build a strong case to some of the investors who are listening and interested in GOTRIbal – But wouldn’t you know my luck? Most of these angel investors are men. Yeah, they like the idea of a bunch of hot, strong, and smart chicks all in one place for sure. But I would like to build an even stronger business case for why it’s important GOTRIbal exist on the planet today. So far, it’s been going quite well! Lots of smiles, nods and “I’m interested, let’s talk later”. But I believe this may be the absolute strongest supporter: The answers to the four question survey -- http://survey.io/survey/7521e Would you share that link with your tribe members? either on your Tribe page, or directly with the women you’ve met in your TRIbe? Or how about women you know who are endurance sports athletes and just want to give their opinion?! J It’ll take less than 10 minutes. Promise. You could probably do it while you’re on your trainer with your blackberry or iPhone in hand. (We are multi taskers-extraordinaires after all) Thank you in advance for thinking of supporting me to support GOTRIbal’s continued service to the ladies.
Looking for a personal trainer/coach in the Westminster/Broomfield area. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. croy922@msn.com. Thanks!
Hi Maria, thank you for the reminder message, just signed up on the new website. So far, been mostly running for my training - my husband and I did the PF Chang's Rock 'n Roll half marathon in Phoenix last weekend, big fun. Need to get some time on my trainer and in the pool...but would love to do a run with you one of these days. What races have you signed up for in 2010? Best wishings for the new year! Terri

Hello everyone. New to the group. how does it work? does anyone meet to train around the downtown area? :)
I am new to the group too... would love to understand how the group works :)
Congratulations to Wendy Mader, who placed 5th at Lake Placid Ironman this past weekend! WooHoo Wendy, way to go!
That's incredible! Nice work!
Wow Wendy! 5th place Ironman - that's just awesome! You go Girl!
Anyone doing the Tri for the Cure next weekend? If so, how do I find you in transition to say hello?
Would love to meet up with fellow triathletes in the Parker area.
Any ladies heading to the Denver Tri this weekend? Or the Boulder 70.3 in a couple of weeks??
I'll be at the 70.3! Survival is the goal for that one! :) Have you ever done that distance before? This one will be my first.
Hi Julie. I've raced the Kansas 70.3 twice. I started the Boulder 70.3 last year (DNF - long story). I'm racing the Boulder 70.3 this year.

Julie
Hey there. The 70.3 run course is different than the Peak. It heads out of the Boulder Rez and turns right past the guard shack. It's 2 loops and it's a whole lot of dirt and gravel.
Jen,
Great job today at Pelican Fest! Every time I saw you in the event, you were smiling. I was so happy to get through the swim. My hands were shaking afterward and it made getting out of the wetsuit a challenge. You are doing amazing in the swim. Keep it up.

Welcome Jen. Looking foward to meeting you at the Pelican Fest Triathlon!
Wendy
Thanks Wendy! I'll also be at the practice open water swim the weekend before...trying out my new wetsuit for the first time!
I think I rode/ran with you today in Windsor. You did great in the water for swimming such a short time! See you next weekend.
Belynda
Good to see you on here! If you're ever down in the Boulder area and want to swim/run/ride just let me know. I hope to see you this weekend and hopefully the water will warm up a bit.

Thanks. Irongirl was my best race of the season so far. Good timing. Sept 12th I am racing Harvest Moon. Any others?
Yeah, Wendy!! Great job yesterday! You can always find her on the run course - she's the one with the flying braids!! Great to see you yesterday!
Thanks, Maria! It was great to finally meet you in person. Thanks for spreading the GoTribal word at the race. Hopefully we will have some new recruits to the Colorado tribe!
