This year, I’ve been fortunate enough to earn a spot on Team Trakkers! For those of you unfamiliar with the Trakkers product, it’s a GPS device used by athletes so their spectators can follow them online getting live updates throughout the event. One of the reasons I was interested in being a part of this team (other than being associated
with some of the most talented athletes in the country!) was the complaint my friends had during my last Ironman race. Apparently the first bike split didn’t come in until I was past mile 73. MILE 73! So for over half the time I was on the bike, my friends and family at home were wondering what was going on. Did I flat? Was I just having a bad day? Where the heck was I? Having a Trakkers unit on would have allowed these people to know exactly where I was and be able to predict very closely when I’d be heading back in to transition.
With this team comes a lot of prestige and other very cool, top notch sponsors! Trakkers is also associated with Rev3. In 
fact, if anyone is interested in participating in one of the Rev3 events, you can use this discount code to receive $10.00 off your entry: Trakkers123. I have heard fantastic reviews of the Rev3 race that took place last year. You can visit the Rev3 website for a video of highlights: Rev3
The 2010 season will be upon us soon, so now is the time to start planning which races and events you will be registering for. While I didn’t plan to do 3 Ironman events in 10 weeks, that’s what happened. Who knows what’s on the agenda for 2010. If you have ideas/thoughts/suggestions, please share. Let’s hope 2010 is as fun as 2009!
