We are competing on a 5 person coed team in the 200+ age catagory. Our team, "Sigma Force" is being sponsored by Sigma Technologies of Tucson. The only person that Andrea and I have had a chance to meet is Rick Elwanger, but through emails we have developed a sense of each persons personalities. We are looking forward to a fun event, but are serious enough to expectations of performing well.

Training:
A large part of the training efforts since the middle of November has been motivated by the proverbial "carrot" of having an objective/incentive. Andrea and I started training the week of November 20th and are currently in the middle of the third base period. Higher intensity workouts including lactate tolarance (LT) intervals and tempo rides of 3-4 hours are now common. Overall our fitness levels are noticably higher than what it was at the end of the 07 race season. Most of the improvements are in the form of increased endurance and efficiency below LT. As the training progresses improvements to the fine "race" skills will be made, including increased LT tolerance and Recovery from repeated high intensity efforts.
Trip Details:
We have found homes for the 4 kids and the dog, although it required three separate families and a set of grandparents to pull it off. Jordan and Taylor will be staying with Jordan's best friend's family, Devon and Wyatt will be staying with Paul and Elisibeth and Matty (dog) will be staying at Pete and Angie's until Friday February 23rd. My parents will be coming in to relieve everyone on Friday and stay until Sunday. Thanks to all of you!
Wednesday evening after the twins get picked up we will have a farewell dinner at McDonald's (Thanks Grandma for the V-Day gifts to the kids, they can now get Happy meals). We will then drop the girls and the boys off at there respective locations. After that we will stop back home remove one of the seats in the van and load in the contents for our trip.
- Bike Boxes (2)
- Large Suitcases (2)
- Small Suitcase
- Large Duffle Bag
- Carry on Bags (2)
- Computer Case
- One additional Bag
My only concern is weather we will be able to fit all this into the rental car.
On the way out of town we will drop off the dog and drive to Andrea's parents for the night. Early Thursday morning we will get dropped off at the MSP Airport and Andreas parents will starty their drive to Kansas City, MO to see their new granddaughter Esther. Our flight leaves at approximatey 7 AM and we should arrive by 11 AM in Phoenix. We will then be renting a car and drivin to Tucson (2.5 hours) to meet a couple of teamates at Sigma Technologies.
