TIR 2009: Texas Tough Throwdown Part II
The Texas Independence Relay is like your first marathon (well, it was just shy of eight, actually) in that as soon as it is over you said, "There's no way that I'll do this again".
Only to begin asking yourself the next day, "What about next year?"
My proposal is simple: The Road Warriors have two teams and the Bloggers have two teams.
Bill will be able to plug Kim Hager and Andrew Perry back in to the equation - preferably NOT on the same team. And I'd expect Rick Cook to possibly join the fray as well running with Bill although I'd offer up whatever to have Rick run on our team since he was a Blogger first.
The Bloggers would certainly add James David Dykas, Barbara Boone, Jessica Alexander and Christy Gonzales, and Erin Foley if she didn't run on an Al Lawrence team, plus we'd have first dibs on any other Seven Hills Running Club members, which might include Robert Duncan and Norman Langwell.
Thoughts? Did the sun get to my head too much on Sunday?
March 5, 2008 Update: Bill said that there was discussion at the track last night that he would lead a Texian Road Warriors run team and that Kim Hager might lead a Texian Road Warriors tri team.
Which got me thinking. Perhaps Joe Carey could captain a team of Blogger Girls that included Adrienne, Katy, Sarah, Barbara, Jessica, Karen, Cassie, Christy, maybe Erin or El Presidente herself, Anna Helm, and add some BARC women to the mix such as Veronica Hoge, Michelle Meyer, Leeanne Voorhies and possibly Vera Balic. And the driver of one of the vans could be Mrs. Texas since Joe already knows her. :)
I guess the original Battling Bloggers of the Texas Republic team would include Edwin, Tommy, his son, Jakeb, Dave, Holden, Keith and then we'd have to do a little recruiting. I vote that we would pickup Norman Langwell, Curtis Barton and Robert Duncan from Seven Hills, if they were interested.

I don't know. I kind of like the line up of the amazing 12 we had this weekend to stay together. Lets see, Kim has a blog, Andrew doesn't...ok that's solved. Kim leads Blogger 2 and Andrew leads Texian 2. That could get very interesting.
We talked at our track workout last night and it just might be the Run Van vs the Tri Van in the mix next year.
Kim & the Tri Van plus a few TBA
Bill & the Run Van plus a few TBA (really need Andrew now)
and a Throwdown with Blogger 1 and Red Bull 1.
Dang, Joe always gets the women.
It will keep him motivated to stay injury free.
Wait a minute...I don't want to change up my team. They're like family now! You can't do this to me! :)
I'm working on Ken - I think The Streaker has a nice ring to it!
Nothing like a little advance planning....When is TIR 2009?
Hopefully the Lukes worker bees won't have to enter a lottery to be able to run in 2009....
I agree with Katy... I love our team the way it is! And I think we should petition Luke's to close that weekend, or at least only have Andrew work. Maybe we could get Kim hired there too??? (just kidding!)
