14 DAYS AND COUNTING
TEAM UPDATE: April 14, 2007
TEAM UPDATES
T4U (Team Thrown Together and Throwing Up):
GET PUMPED AND GET PSYCHED! IT'S NOW ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY! Can you believe we are this close?!
We are still looking for two volunteers to provide the WMR and then we will be "good to go!"
Be sure to be stretching out each day - it will aid you in avoiding any last minute injuries, as well as preparing yourself for the course.
Have a great weekend and be sure to read the information below! And since it is the weekend, take a few moments to respond to this email (see info below) with your personal team introduction. It would be great for each of us to know a little about one another BEFORE we hit the course.
I've got a 20-mile training run tomorrow - wish me luck. And for those of you out on the road this weekend, be safe out there and keep moving!
VITAL INFORMATION LINKS
Over the past weeks, I've sent you quite a bit of information ("No kidding, Lee, way to flood my email account!"). So I will leave this section in all future emails so you can quick click to information that you may have forgotten about, but need. Here are some of those links:
General information about the Wild Miles Relay from the official site
TEAM THROWN TOGETHER OFFICIAL WEBSITE
General information about our team; a good source to send family and friends to for information as well. There are links to general areas within this website at the bottom of each email sent out.
This particular page will be updated as we get closer to the race. This will give you a much better idea of what will be occurring and when - a good webpage to share with your family and friends so they know where you are at and what you will be facing.
This is a good source to be sure that you have everything you'll need for the WMR.
2007 WMR COURSE MAP AND LEG ASSIGNMENTS
Family and friends want to know where you're going to be running? Have you forgotten when you're running? A good point of reference and a couple of maps you might want to print out to refer to later while on the course.
NUTRITION, CHAFING AND BLISTERS, ETC.
Information posted in past emails pertaining to specific topics can be found on the Updates page of the T4U website.

TEAM
INTRODUCTIONS
IT'S TIME TO QUIT HIDING AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF! So, take a minute to read the five EASY questions below and respond to each of them. Then when you send your answer (by replying to "everyone" on this email) to the entire team. Your answers don't need to be long - it's a blast just to know who you are and what motivates you. Here's the questions:
1. What made you decide to run the Wild Miles Relay? And if you're returning, what made you want to return?
2. Tell us a little about you.
3. What motivates you as a runner?
4. What are some of your favorite hobbies?
5. What do you hope to get out of the Wild Miles Relay?-
Peace and stay loose,
Lee
