Okay gang, the minds of @AaronWebstey and @PreachSwanson have come together to not save a team but re-image what it can be. After talks with Ben and AJ we know we must leave TRS behind as a brand but we want to honor the past while looking forward. We are going to re-brand as Rooster Endurance. For 2019 we don't care if you want to still fly the TRS flags, we can get out most of the old gear but we told Ben we wouldn't print any more TRS gear going forward. What that did for us was open the door for new thoughts and ideas. We want to focus on the good of our team, the healthy community we have. We also want us to do more than a 1 trick pony show. We want to race in triathlons and grind the gravel on a bike. We want to swim till we are prunes and then run 100 miles. We have all changed since this team was formed and we will again. It is with your help that it will become something greater.
Ask your questions, share your dreams and re-imagine the Rooster with us.
Yep, as a pastor I tell everyone... It's both and, not either or... get your thoughts and prayers right but back it up with your actions... I'll be donating + praying
I finished the 100 in 23:21 and 31st place out of 108 finishers. Clay @GasBomb had a DNF but worked hard in the morning. My twin @EvilTwin finished his first 50k by walk/running with me for my final 50k... The team was really representing there for being an ultra in Illinois.
Honestly you cannot do it all, have some peace about it and don't fight it. I pull my kids in a cart for an extra bike ride and to spend Time talking to them. I run whenever I can & since I can only wake up early during deer season I fin that I bike and run at night once the kids are asleep. I hate swimming but do it at lunch breaks since the pool is mostly empty then and I can crank out the yards.
If i feel guilt about missing something I can always add some push-ups and pull-ups as a general flogging and be done fast. Then remember that the only person who gives a shit about the finishers metal is you but the people in your life give you that time and hope to get some back so rest up then and don't worry about having a real life.
