Team Transplant Starts Up Next Week (August 10/15)
by greenglove ~ August 6th, 2009. Filed under: for team members, practice schedules, schedule updates, week in review.Hey everyone!
Finally! Here they are...All of the forms for the 2009-2010 Team Transplant season! Attached you’ll find the team registration form, race entry, FAQ sheet, and fee sheet. Remember all forms must be submitted before your first practice or before the last day to sign up which is on Sept. 7th. Transplant recipients will need updated physician release forms (click on forms on left side bar to print out or download).
I will be sending out the training schedules very very soon. Training will begin the week of Aug. 10th, and our first group practice + KICK-OFF Breakfast will be on August 15th. We’re still deciding on the location. Time will be the usual 8:00am.
I will also be sending out apparel information very very soon…Shirts (which will be long-sleeve and a lovely foliage green color) are separate from the membership fee this year. We are also considering sweatshirts as well as reflective vests, and of course, we still have plenty of hats (both the fleece and brim versions) as well as socks available. Post-race party information will also be sent out at a later date.
So get your pens out (or palm pilots or i-phones or open up facebook)…Here is an initial list of important dates to mark down on your calendars:
* Monday, Aug. 10th…Training starts (plan to get schedules out you to by this weekend!)
* Saturday, Aug.15th…8:00am, location to be announced…First Group Practice and KICK-OFF Breakfast!
* Thursday, Sept. 3rd….5:30pm, Green Lake dirt track, first evening practice
* Saturday, Sept. 5th…FORMS ARE DUE!!
* Sunday, Oct. 4th….Issaquah Salmon Days 10k
* Tuesday, Nov.24th…Team Transplant Spirit Day!
