Team Update: May 25th
Team Update, May 25th
Hi Folks:
Let's get down to bidness!
From the Race Director - John Stark
You guys and gals are killing it! We had a HUGE weekend at Ironman Texas, a great day at Ironman Lanzarote in Spain and elsewhere simply making it happen. Congrats to everyone!
Please take a few moments to complete the Race Survey here: http://bit.ly/itljGG
Coming up are Rev 3 Quassy HalfRev on June 5th, Ironman 70.3 Eagleman and Ironman 70.3 Kansas, both on June 12th. If you are racing these, please be sure to fillout the TeamEN Information Form here: http://bit.ly/j2mhBo and choose your event tab on the spreadsheet.
There ya have it!

Uniform Update
- Cycling Kit: from order placed in Jan-Feb -- Rich is having a hard time getting a delivery date update from Capo but continues to push. Thanks for your patience!
- Tri Uniforms: from the order placed in Jan-Feb -- all orders have shipped. Missing something from this order? Email support@endurancenation.us, please do not post in the forum. Thanks!
- Have you joined TeamEN AFTER Feb 1, 2011? When the dust settles from the tri-kit shipping above, Rich will let you know what’s available and you can order your tri kit at that time. We will not do another “formal order” (ie, we place another order with Louis Garneau) for the 2011 season. Between organizing the order and the delivery time of LG, we wouldn’t see new stuff until late summer, too late for many of you to use it. Instead we have a “I need to borrow tri kit” thread in the forums that you can use to borrow kit from another teammate. Same drill for the cycling kit: after we receive and ship the kit in May, we’ll let everyone know what’s remaining and you can place an order for cycling kit from our existing inventory.
From the Coaches:
May MAYHEM!
May was crazy, crazy busy: IMSG, White Lake, Tour of California, Florida 70.3, IMTX, and an informal training weekend on the IMWI coming up this weekend. Look for formal wrap posts and an RnP podcast coming next week!
Crucible Files
If you have a powermeter and want to have your Race Sim hacked apart by Coach Patrick for the world to see (and to learn!), please send it to admin@endurancenation.us with the subject "The Crucible". Be sure to include your age, weight, FTP, and goal race (70.3 or IM, with name preferably).
Season Planning
Finished with your OutSeason and/or want Rich to map out the rest of your season for you? Take this survey and Rich will get it done for you in a few days.
TeamEN Wants Your Referrals
As you know, TeamEN membership is closed. We have started a waiting list and will issue invitations to the waiting list to join the team, as space becomes available. Membership for these people will be $129/mo. However, it’s likely that you know someone who would be a great fit for the team. If so, please have them use this double top secret squirrel backdoor link to create a 5-day trial membership. Their membership rate at the end of this trial, if they decide to stay, will be $99/mo, saving them over $360 per year.
EN Admin Update
Site Navigation Changes
Go to the Dashboard. All of the Training Forums now live under the Training tab at the top. Groups and their associated discussion forums now live under the Community tab. We feel this change is more intuitive and we hope you agree.
EN Admin Support is Now Done Through ZenDesk
We’ve decided that the EN Admin Forum wasn’t the best tool for us to use to provide you with the support you need, so we have fired up “ZenDesk.” Have admin issues and need us to fix them? Email support@endurancenation.us. View our help desk and answers as they grow here. Please keep in mind that this tool is for admin support issues only, not a place for you to ask us training questions. Please continue to use the Macro and Micro Threads for those, as well as the other forums.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Rich and Patrick
