Team Kickoff 2009

Today was sort of an official kickoff team meeting for 2009. Many Stark Velo members gathered at the local headquarters of one of our main sponsors, Subway. Everyone received their new kits, we took some photos, ate a good lunch, and had a team meeting. We concluded with a good 30 mile ride and were able to socialize and get to know those that we didn't know too well prior to today. I would estimate the group to be 30 riders. There were of course some city limit signs that needed attention, so you could tell when one was approaching by the sudden lack of conversation.

I had a great time meeting some new faces and catching up with those I haven't seen in a while. I will post some photos when I get them, and sure they'll be some up on the Stark Velo website soon.

After dinner, I had to crank out the WOD for today:
For time:
225 pound Deadlift, 21 reps
Run 800 meters
225 pound Deadlift 15 reps
Run 800 meters
225 pound Deadlift, 9 reps
Run 800 meters

I was able to do this at home, lifting in the basement and then running through our neighborhood. My kids were in the basement, cheering me on as they played. I was able to complete it in 18 minutes.
