sorry, it just means i get free stuff and clothing that says ELITE on it, which makes my age group self feel bad ass.

there is a dude here who makes custom bikes for athletes (for free, but they retail at the 10k mark).  i am on his list for a bike to match my clothes but not until next year. but whatever, next year i will be a blaze of yellow.  and 10 lbs heavier from obsessive vanilla protein bar consumption.

I came on halfway through the year.  I loved it and am super excited about it again this year.  I just had to order men's clothes to fit my belly though, lol.  Are you still doing FMA work too?

yes, I am - i love being "the powerbar girl"... that's why i wanted to be on the elite team, just so i could be that at all the races.  i wish we got to do more work as FMAs!  in the summer, i have 0 jobs.  although i do like the monthly bonuses for just doing the calls. i think this year i am going to travel to some xterra races, too.  

i am excited about our new kitkat-like bars.

The bars look so freakin yummy.  The drink mix was one of the few things I could tolerate in the first trimester; such a lifesaver.  I got my cycling team hooked on the chews; good thing I have three boxes left from an event.  I'm pretty busy during the summer between tris and races here.  And yes, that bonus is sweet!  I have to miss our first xterra race because I've got Sunday School duty in March

Do you know your other area partner?  The guy I had last year worked one event and was um, less than fun, to work with.  I hope I get someone good this go round.

2 years ago i loved my partner. she is actually now my "wellness coach" (she needed to do some coaching to get certified, and i certainly need coaching on life in general, lol).  But then they had budget cuts and so last year I had to work alone!!

I would love it if hired someone else in my state but I doubt they will

Very cool, congrats!

I volunteer for both Tahoe area xterras (Tahoe City and Lake Tahoe) - how technical are you on the bike?  The Lake Tahoe course is highly technical for the bike and the run is relatively flat.  Every year people are astounded by how tough the bike course is.  Also, the Oly distance is two loops on the run course. The Tahoe City course is (I think, although I've never competed it) more favorable to a strong hill runner.  Of course, dates are June versus August, too.

You'd be welcome to crash here if you want to.  Since I volunteer for both races, I have to get up at a godforsaken hour of the morning and drive up the hill regardless.  LOL
