Slowtwitcher North American XC Relay - ORGANIZATION RIGHT HERE

Triathlon Forum
1

OK, I’m willing to organize the route, and the logistics of getting everyone’s names and phone numbers together. Someone will have to step in to do the cool jerseys since I’m an Enginerd and have had the creativity beaten out of me.

OK, once the jerseys are diseminated, and the baton created from another creative ST’er we will get this rolling. We will start in the home of ST (Xanusia) and I’ll find an appropiate ending point based on the participation.

This is going to be a lot of work, so someone get started on the jersey’s and baton soon.

I’ll start posting on a website soon.

Here is what is needed from YOU now:

email me at willit at ucalgary.ca

include in the email:

1.) your name, address and phone number. This is needed so the dude you will be getting the baton from and the dude you are handing the baton to can give you a call to sort things out.

2.) a map off of mapquest or similar showing me the area you can pick up / drop off / ride / run / swim the baton too. ONE MAP: I don’t want 7 detailed maps from everyone.

3.) dates you ARE NOT available.

4.) a picture of you so I can put together a pictorial time line pre adventure…then once we get this rolling, as many picutres as possible of the adventure and baton exchanges.

2

Have you considered doing this to raise money for a charity? This could get a ton of media attention and help a good cause. We could treat it like a Relay For Life, where each participant asks friends, family, etc. for donations.

2.) a map off of mapquest or similar showing me the area you can pick up / drop off / ride / run / swim the baton too. ONE MAP: I don’t want 7 detailed maps from everyone.

I don’t want to start changing things on you, but would it be ok to just tell you a distance we can travel for pick up and drop off? Like I could go 100 miles for pick up or dropoff.

That’s fine about not putting it on a map… I just wanted to be able to spread the maps out on my floor and connect everyone’s area together. Whatever, if you give me your info, I’ll figure it out.

HID - we COULD do this for a charity… how about take control of that and the jersey ?

Other notes, it would be neat to have an ‘inner contest’ to see who can get the best picture with the baton… like during an Ironman with it in a back pocket, or the baton and a celebrity, or the baton and an amazing view of some mountains or something… is that a good idea ??

5

I’m in southern New Jersey, near Philadelphia. Let me know what route you are planning, I can run half a block.

7

I was also thinking that we could try and help some of these service men/women who’ve had limbs blown off in Iraq/Afghanistan. I don’t know of any specific charities for this off the top of my head, but I’m sure they’re out there.

8

That should be the charity of the United States government! But, seeing that it is not, it is certainly a good cause.

9

I’ll shoot you an email with my info, but I thought people could also just reply to this and post their screen name and location, to get an idea of where we have people, and where we don’t.

I have a link to a charity that supports this. I will post it when I get home. I am biased to this of course :wink:
