Weekend Training

Forgive me for posting unimportant stuff....
Just wanted to know if anyone was interested in riding or running this weekend? (FEB 2/3) Let me know? Pete R

There may be no 'I' in team...but there is a 'G'...

I was very surprised to receive a call from David this week about joining Team TYB. With the demise of the Hincapie Team; being passed up by the Setup, Inc Team, and a bit of a struggle trying to keep some sponsors on board - it was looking like I would be racing as 'the unmarked traithlete' this year. It was a bit of a downer but if I did all this racing for the money and the fame, I would have quit years ago. The most important thing I was losing was the opportunity to be a part of a team. Being part of something that is bigger than any one person individually has always proven to be one of the most motivational forces there is. Which brings me to Team TYB...

I was happy to hear the team would be comprised of not just good athletes, but good people. I'm looking forward to meeting those of you that I don't know and some of you (Cam) should not feel ashamed that Pete E. and I are both old enough to be your father (how's that for some more incentive) ;-) I think we can perform well and have a lot of fun.

For those that don't know me, I go by 'G-Man' -or just 'G' and my background is from cycling. I'll add a biographical post when I get a chance but suffice it to say that I've had a successful 3-year stint in the multi-sport world - mainly at longer events and events that involve little or no water.

This blog is a great way to keep the team together. I hope we have more opportunites to train and communicate together than some of the past teams I have been on because that's what makes it fun and keeps people focused. I have had good success with my website (http://www.giordanelli.com/) and will continue to use it as a way to highlight my sponsors, track my training, keep my race schedule (my preliminary 2008 schedule is posted), etc. However, I'm looking forward to giving it a bit of a face lift with my new team.

I hope to see you all on the 11th if not sooner,
G

Skinsuit proof

Okay guys, here's what we are looking at for the uniform. The same design will be on the other items. The only remaining thing is to change the blue of the flames and the "TYB" to a more dark-royal blue. It's gonna look sharp!
