Dedication Sunday

Al Truscott · June 27, 2014 2:25PM

Those of us doing Ironman Coeur d'Alene this Sunday will be dedicating our races to Timothy and the Jenks family, and invite ENers @ other races to join us, along with anyone just out for a training ride to do the same.

WJ has been sharing his pride in Timothy's accomplishments over the years. While most of us have never met them, the personal connection so many of us feel is testament to both their character, and the power of Endurance Nation as a virtual family.

Brenda Ross · June 27, 2014 3:37PM

Consider it done.

Mariah Bridges · June 27, 2014 4:41PM

I have a 50 mile ride tomorrow and a 35 mile ride sunday with a run and swim- all dedicated to them, if they need anything I know we will band together, if anyone wants to raise money for cycle awareness or roadID or something consider me in.

Laura Becker · June 27, 2014 5:17PM

All training this weekend will be dedicated to Timothy and the Jenks family.

Jacklyn Moore · June 27, 2014 8:24PM

Done! I have a 2 hour tempo ride to my favorite vegan bakery planned with a friend tomorrow and a brick run after.

@Mariah- nice idea.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

I will dedicate my training this weekend to Timothy and to William and his family. I wish I could do more.

Brad Marcus · June 27, 2014 9:04PM

This is the least I can do....My training is in dedication this weekend as well.

Mariah Bridges · June 27, 2014 9:06PM

Everyone its not the least we can do- there are over 800 people on this team- imagine if all of us took one day and for hours at a time held up one of our own in thoughts and prayers across the world- that is amazing and powerful. Imagine the lives we would touch and what would change as a result. The ripple we could start just by honoring a young man who was an amazing child and a friend of ours that we hold dearly. We are a united tri family tomorrow

Steve West · June 27, 2014 9:08PM

Like the others, I wish I could do more. My weekend training is also dedicated to the Jenks family.

Darren Freeman · June 27, 2014 9:17PM

I will be putting 4TIM on my left calf on Sunday and for all my races for the remainder of the year.

Sue Chapman · June 27, 2014 9:18PM

I've put TJ on my leg - and dedicated the weekend to him and the family - what else to do?

Christy Beal · June 27, 2014 9:23PM

Of course, my entire weekend will be dedicated to Timothy and the Jenks family.

Jacklyn Moore · June 27, 2014 9:38PM

To bad we didn't have their mailing address. We could fill their mailbox up everyday with letters.

cgres123 · June 28, 2014 7:37AM

So sorry to learn of this..... Done I'm in.

scott dinhofer · June 28, 2014 8:38AM

Tomorrow, I begin a 7 day trek to summit Kilimanjaro. I will be dedicating my climb to the jenks family. It seems as there is a national epidemic in the cars vs bikes issue, is there any charity working on education and awareness of this issue?

Joseph Lombardi · June 28, 2014 4:23PM

Absoutely 100% heart and soul.

Scott- Very cool.

donymo · June 28, 2014 4:33PM

I am dedicating my race tomorrow to the Jenks family and the memory of Tim

John Withrow · June 28, 2014 6:37PM

Dedicating my Challenge AC bike leg to Tim Jenks tomorrow. I've never actually met Jenks but he feels like an old friend and it just seemed like I knew Tim from WJ's proud posts.

David Leventhal · June 28, 2014 7:47PM

Tomorrow morning I'm going to undertake my first IM at CDA. I am not competing for a Kona spot and I doubt my performance will be anything extraordinary - however, I will be doing my very best to honor the short-lived life of Timothy Jenks. My 18 month old son is named Timothy - the name means "son of honor" and that's what I'm going to try and do tomorrow - honor Timothy for William and his family. He's been added to my short list of "one things."

William Jenks · June 28, 2014 8:43PM

I'm keeping the posts and the pictures.

We are going to have some kind of memorial after all of the dust has settled, and I want to be able to show photos of my triathlon friends who remembered T. I don't know how it will be done yet, but I know it will happen.

Good luck to all of you!

Darren Freeman · June 28, 2014 9:12PM

William, if you want an easy way to display all the pictures and you have a projector or even just a laptop you could use something like Picasa which has a very easy to use slideshow feature. Just put all the photos into a folder, select the folder from within Picasa and press play. Picasa will handle the transitions and all the rest and can continuously loop through the images.

Rode 74 hilly miles and ran 4 more with Tim, Olivia William and his wife heavy on my heart. Today I will ride again for TJ and the family. Thank you Al for posting a way for EN'rs to DO something to deal with this and show our support.

rlh2000 · June 29, 2014 11:34AM

Amazing how much a boy I never met could be on my mind and inspire me on my long rides this weekend. Thinking of Tim and family with every mile.

kimmydct · June 29, 2014 12:28PM

42 mile bike yesterday and 10 mile run today for TJ.

Darren Freeman · June 29, 2014 1:48PM

This one is for you Tim!

Yasko Howell · June 29, 2014 2:12PM

Former ENer Linda Johnson and I won the age group at a local tri race, dedicated to Timothy.

Chris Love · June 29, 2014 2:15PM

Today's 65 mile ride dedicated to cycling safety in memory of Tim Jenks. We rode with Tim in our hearts, the Jenks in our thoughts and safety on our minds.

Joe Matchette · June 29, 2014 4:03PM

Gen raced the Chattanooga Olympic this morning in honor of Tim. ( I can't get the picture upload to work at the moment....sorry.)

Ian Kurth · June 29, 2014 4:37PM

100 mile bike yesterday, and 1.3 mile swim with 35 mile bike today with Timothy Jenks in my thoughts...

rbogle · June 29, 2014 5:03PM

60 mile road ride yesterday, and 10 + mi of MTB riding with the family. Thinking lots about Timothy on the road and trail. No excuse to not ride hard and enjoy it always. Sending good thoughts to William and the rest of the Jenks family.

John Withrow · June 29, 2014 5:31PM

From Challenge AC today...
