TC 10K - 25 April 2010

[mpdailey]

The Times-COlonist 10K Race is on the horizon again. Time for the 5 Tribe team to step up! To be a member of this exclusive team, you have to be living and/or capable of running/walking/crawling 10 kilometres!

COST: $30 now until Feb 15th and then it goes up to $35.

REIMBURSEMENT: If you are a current member of the Unit (sorry Steve) and you START the run, you will be re-imbursed $30. The 2IC has committed Unit fund payment for the first 10 persons. In other words, first come, first re-imbursed. Those who register/commit late are taking their chances of being re-imbursed.

This is a fabulous flat 10K route. Should be some EXCELLENT times this year as it is doubling as the "BC 10K Road Running Championship".

To register:
STEP 1 - TELL ME. Either send me an email (mike.dailey@forces.gc.ca) or reply to this post
STEP 2 - Register
On Line at http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/tc10k/index.html (MasterCard or VISA) or in person at Front Runners or Peninsula Runners

WHEN YOU REGISTER, YOU MUST INDICATE THE TEAM YOU ARE ON. If applying on line, simply select "5 Tribe", if applying in writing, write that team name in.

STEP 3 - TELL ME you've registered by email or posting here.

I already have 6 confirmed members, so if you want to be a member of this elite team, let me know ASAP and be sure that it doesn't cost you a thing except a little bit of sweat and tears (and maybe some blood)!

The Team t-shirt from past years has become a collectors item (mine are collecting dust even now).

DON'T MISS OUT!!
REGISTER NOW!!

UBIQUE

I'm in... Just finished regestering online... any chance of getting the mess opened the night before so we can get in top form for the race .... afterall it's almost a tradition to do it right after the spring ball...

[Dinger]

Registered! Count me in.

[Hammer]

Yep count me in, i will register today or tomorrow. As far as the picture goes, I can't find it anywhere but I will keep looking.

[mpdailey]

World's three greatest lies:
1/ Hi I'm RSS and I'm here to help;
2/ I won't ... in your mouth;
3/ Hi, I'll register for the team ... tomorrow ... or the next day ... or someday soon!

Guess I better get on all those f......ers who said they wanted in but still haven't registered!!!!

[Hammer]

Especially if it is free in the end. Can't say no to that!

[mpdailey]

Anyone know Jenny Davies? She just registered as part of our team.

[Hammer]

She's my GF. We both decided to do the run and I know we always need the people!

[mpdailey]

Very good then. The name sounded familiar. Can she kick my ass ... on the course I mean.

[Hammer]

She's not a runner but I plan to train with her. Off the course she is a fellow martial arts instructor so...

[Conway]

Enjoy folks. I'll probably be in Alert. Woo.

[mpdailey]

Hi Team 5 Tribe members!!! FYI - attend if you want. I am making tentative plans to go ... but I'm not sure if staying in Victoria that late is something I want to do.

Hammer - can you send me your civi email and one for Jenny if you want so I can put you on my email list.

Bdr Walts and Bdr Denniger - let me know if you didn't get the email I sent you.

Dear Team Captains



TC10K and Frontrunners present Running Legend and Motivational Speaker Dick Beardsley – Invite all your team members…What a great way to get your team motivated!



Motivational speaker Dick Beardsley will be in Victoria on Wednesday, March 24 to give an inspirational talk about his life as a runner and his subsequent battle against pain killers. His presentation called ‘Staying the Course’, will be held at the Alix Goolden Hall, 907 Pandora Avenue at 7.30 pm, tickets are $5 and can be purchased from the TC10K office or at the door if tickets are still available. Please call and reserve your tickets today at 250.744.5538.



Beardsley is famous for his ‘Duel in the Sun’ with Alberto Salazar at the 1982 Boston Marathon. Finishing just two seconds behind Salazar, this was one of the most memorable moments in marathon history and the closest finish in a premier marathon. Both athletes broke the course and American records and Beardsley became an overnight sensation.



After retiring from running he suffered a near-fatal farming accident which began a string of events that led him to become addicted to pain killers. His story of how he gradually overcame his addiction is passionate and inspirational.



“Having worked with runners and speakers for events for over 30 years, Dick is the most exceptional and down to earth guy who constantly gives back to everyone he encounters,” says Rob Reid, owner of Frontrunners. “He has had struggles and has overcome challenges many of us could not imagine. He truly gives a gold medal performance every time he speaks.”



“Listening to Dick will be great motivation for everyone training for the TC10K,” says Race Director Jacqui Sanderson. “His amazing story will inspire all runners and we know that everyone will benefit from hearing him speak.”





Here’s some important information and a reminder that March 23rd is the cut off for all team deliverables.



Team registration closes at midnight on March 23rd; please ensure all your team members are registered.


Please check the team confirmation list and ensure the names registered to your team are supposed to be there, if there are people on your team that you do not recognize please let me know by March 23rd and I will be able to correct.


If one of your team members has registered but forgot to add the team name please e-mail Claire at Claire@tc10k.ca with the team name and name of the person that should be registered and she will make the change for you.


If you are submitting a shirt logo for your team, please ensure we receive in the office no later than March 23rd. All submissions must be mail we will not accept electronic versions. Believe it or not but by submitting your logo/graphic the old fashioned way it eliminates mistakes on our end.

Thanks, Bomber!!

MBdr Gatherum has decided that flying back from Panama would be too cost prohibitive for her to attend the TC10K.

Although running under someone else's name is forbouten, I figure as long as the imposter is of equal or lesser ability, and of the same age category and gender ... who really cares. Anyone know of a young "lady" (say 25/26) interested in running or walking (say an hour) but too cheap to pay her own way who can take Gatherum's place.

Before you answer, Onion, you are of the wrong gender ... or at least you were.

I guess being a eunuch isn't close enough???
