Weekly Update 3/23/2020

Celebrating athletic achievements that better ourselves, our teammates, and our community.

 Not much this week folks. A couple of items from the Director;

Missouri - Stay Home, if there is anyway for you to. Maintain social distance, even when training outside.  We, the people, have to decide to do it.  Don’t wait for a politician to tell you.  #justdoit #flattenthecurve 

Message from the Mothership;

Weekly Update 3/16/2020

Celebrating athletic achievements that better ourselves, our teammates, and our community.

 Events getting canceled left and right in the wake of the Coronavirus scare. Local favorite Shamrox Run was not held. Many of our team were planning on racing gravel (mud) in Stillwater, OK at the MidSouth Gravel 100, 50k and Double. That event was up to the day before deciding whether or not it would be a go. MidSouth organizers elected to hold the event as scheduled and took the magnanimous step of offering deferments for next year to those who elected to remain at home. With the predicted weather, I'm sure this made the decision to stay home a no-brainer.  With that, the team had several who still participated. This year that event lived up to its reputation of epic difficulty. The last in our Winter Lecture Series was held last week. Thanks to our panelists for sharing their wisdom and experience.

Plenty going on in the life of the team. Kimi Reed represented well in the Olympic Trials. 62nd in a world class field of over 400 finishers, great job Kimi. There's going to be a Meet and Congrats Happy Hour. Details in the link. 




 

The Paul Hardin Memorial 200k was very well attended, especially for a very cold start to the ride. The majority of the riders went the full distance. Super long rides are never uneventful. One of our own had a blowout and went down with scrapes and bruises. We raised around $600 for the Fairbanks Bike Shop. Here's a very cool and reflective video from the Director Sportif- Paul Harding Memorial Ride . 

We had a lot of runners out seeking podium spots and PRs. Details below in Results

Another fine week for the team. Lots of great finishes at various running events. Our runners really represented this week.

Kimi Shank Reed is headed for Olympic Marathon Trials. SBC is hosting a watch party. Details below in "This Week".

Weekly Update 2/17/2020

Celebrating athletic achievements that better ourselves, our teammates, and our community.

This week the newsletter is a little late. I apologize for that. Especially since it's a reward week thanks to Nicole Fleming and her overall win at The Outlaw 135. She was the only female to finish. Nice job Nicole. If you didn't before, now you know why she was a panelist last week at the "How We Did Epic" lecture. 

Also, last week I committed a rather glaring omission. I'm sure many of you saw it on Instagram and/or Facebook, but Danielle Dingman got 2nd place Female Pro at IM70.3 Dubai with a blistering 4:05 finishing time. Great start to the season Danielle! 

Kimi Shank Reed is 2 weeks out from Olympic Marathon Trials. Wish her luck if you see her. 

Trivia Night Fairbanks Fundraiser is this week. Volunteers are set, buffet in the works. We need participants and prizes. If you know someone or work for a business who would like to donate a prize, contact Neil . Be there; Trivia Night

Team Kit stores closed yesterday, Hincapie kits are due to ship March 16.

Weekly Update 2/10/2020

Celebrating athletic achievements that better ourselves, our teammates, and our community.

This week! The next Winter Lecture series is "How We Did Epic"- an excellent panel of local folks who challenged themselves to do something epic. Details here- How We Did Epic 

SBC/BO Gravel Race team met to talk seasonal plans and specific race strategy. We have a great pool of talent and we're looking forward to seeing what we can achieve this year through teamwork and cooperation. 

Lengthy, but important;

Please find info on the opportunity for public input on the future recreation program on Mark Twain National Forest below:  
ROLLA, Mo. (Feb. 4, 2020) “Every five years, the public has the opportunity to share their thoughts about the strategic future of the recreation program on Mark Twain National Forest (MTNF); and right now is one of those opportunities. A process called Recreation Site Analysis (RSA) has begun, and MTNF will be accepting public comments through March 6, 2020. Public comments will provide insight to help recreation staff understand the trends in use.  Specifically, MTNF is looking for comments regarding developed recreation sites, such as campgrounds, boat landings, and picnic areas. Cory Roegner, Forest Recreation Officer, stated, We want our visitors to enjoy the Forest, and recreation activities need developed recreation sites to support them; so we are going to do our best to balance budgets and demands while being future-focused through this process.  Many of the recreation sites on MTNF are starting to show signs of disrepair, and the costs to operate and maintain these sites has increased over time to a level that is unsustainable.  Given current and projected financial and staffing constraints, some difficult decisions are expected to be necessary for MTNF to provide quality and sustainable recreation opportunities for the long-run; and that is why we want to engage early with those that love to visit the forest.  The comments received will be combined with the Forests internal analysis and used to develop a draft proposal for a sustainable recreation program. A draft proposal is expected to be released in May 2020, which will also be open to public comment.  Comments could include but are not limited to, such things as:
  • What are your favorite recreation sites on MTNF and why?
  • What would you like to see more (or less) of at a specific developed recreation site on MTNF?
  • Are there amenities lacking at any MTNF recreation site?  If so, what site and what do you want to see there? Are there any sites you think should be closed or have services reduced to shift funding to another site?
  • Are there trends in recreation you are seeing that MTNF should consider during this process?
To submit your comments please email them to SM.FS.MTNF_Rec@usda.gov 

Trivia Night Fairbanks Fundraiser is back. Volunteers are set, buffet in the works. We need participants and prizes. If you know someone or work for a business who would like to donate a prize, contact Neil . Get it on your calendar now; Trivia Night
