The weather cleared everyone out pretty fast yesterday at Twin Lakes, putting a quick stop to all our Ytri post-race activities, so here's what we plan to do for apparel:
Race Apparel: If you would like to order race apparel, please e-mail Jim Bollenbacher at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
by July 5th. Order forms will also be available during Kristan's spin classes tomorrow night from 6-9PM. Our cut-off date will be Monday, July 5th.
Training Apparel: You can always order the Nike and Sport skirts training apparel. We source this from Running Unlimited, who are able to process small orders for us.
Spectathlete Apparel: At this time, we are not accepting orders for spectathlete apparel; we're optimizing our vendor relationship at the current time.

We had six people show up this morning at 7:45ish for an early 8:00 AM Saturday group ride and had a great time. Even the weather cooperated. Big thanks to Sherry for plotting out a route and even printing off directions for everyone (she's so organized!). In fact, everyone had such a good time we decided to make this a regular event.
So anyone who wants to go out earlier on Saturdays for a group ride and to beat the heat, just meet at the Barrington High School parking lot (the one off Hart Road) near the running track at 7:45ish. We'll take off promptly at 8:00 AM and do 20 miles or more, deciding our exact route on the day of.
Hope to see you there.

Many of our members have enjoyed swimming at Lake In The Hills during the summer Stroke & Stride open-water swims. The swim is set up in 1/4-mile intervals -- swim as little or a lot as you like. Afterwards, there is a 3-mile run. Cost is $5 to swim and the swim is supervised by a host of lifeguards. Bathroom facilities are available for changing afterwards. Check the website (http://www.lith.org/Beaches.html) for possible beach closings due to E. Coli levels. The swims run every Wednesday, starting now until August 4th from 6-7:30PM at Indian Trail Beach. Check the LITH website for fine details.

We are planning a great cookout for everyone coming to Racine on the weekend of July 17th/18th -- whether you are racing or Spectathleting -- so we need you to sign up on the website to indicate if you are taking part (either racing or spectating). We figured being in control of our nutrition is ideal, plus it gives us a chance to meet up before the race. Please go to the sign-up page and indicate your level of participation -- we'd love to see everyone there!

This is a reminder to RSVP for the Summer Ytri party on Sunday, July 11th at 2:30PM.
At this point, we still have a lot of folks who haven't indicated either way for the party. Please help us plan, accordingly! If you didn't receive an invite, e-mail us and let us know!
