Last November I wrote a letter to Mitch Thrower the editor of Triathlete Magazine. I explained to him that over a dozen people, whom had never met except through the internet, mostly through Tri-Geek Dreams.com had come together in a bond of friendship, comraderie and commitment to sign up for Ironman races in 2006. These individuals are ranging in age from college student to grandmother and will be the first all internet triathlon team to enter an Ironman event.I also wrote about the entire Triathlete Alliance and how we dedicate hours of our time posting on our training and give encouragement and advice to each other through our seperate blogs. We have truly formed a team of triathletes that is as strong as any local group. Most of us have never met and will not meet until we finally arrive for our races. The group continues to grow daily and through our personal love of the sport we are bringing new people into the sport and giving them the courage to create their own triathlon-centric blogs.
Yesterday I got a response back from Triathlete Magazine and they told me the good news and have asked me for some more information. I will be talking to them within the week.
How cool is that.

Com,
You're right, that is some seriously sweet news. Way to go! That is a really neat idea. I love that magazine. Nytro gets me a subscription every year for my B-day. It's like Christmas every time a new issue arrives. I try not to read it all at once, but I just can't help it. I usually read it cover to cover on the first night. I can't get enough of that magazine.
By the way, I'm thinking about coming to Phoenix for a century ride in February. You in? I need to find a bike box first. Otherwise, I have to drive and that just sucks. I've been watching the weather report on your side bar and it looks alot better than Ogden.

Comm!!! You ROCK!!!
That is so cool. I found this group when I was thinking about jumping back into tri's (after some sprints a small lifetime ago), and the support and encouragement that the members give eachother really helped push me to do it. I only wish I had done this sooner so I could be doing IMFL too! How awesome.
Someone better warn I/T about the 10 Billion hits on the way!
Can't wait to read all about it!!
Congratulations!!
