A Message from Mark Davis regarding ourTriathlon for Troops member Russell Price. He has been a member going on two years now. He was instrumental in getting us on Mac Dill AFB last year to do some brick training at that awesome site. He has been sporting Team Psych gear around the world in his military travels since leaving Tampa. Russ and his wife want so much to return to Tampa. As such I asked him to work together to get him back. Please read below and think if there is a place for him and his lovely wife. To update you and the rest of Team Psych (Tampa team) the Team Psych (El Paso team namely me) has been hard at work in school since I left Tampa in June of 2012. I have started up an unofficial satellite team and have about 33 “El Fuegoites”. This June, I will graduate from the United States Sergeants Major Academy, and, at the same time, I will graduate from Excelsior College with my Master’s in Business Administration with a concentration in Leadership. So now, I find myself in the hunt for a job and hope that someone in Team Psych will know of an opening that might match my skills and talents. My background is in operations and project or program management and, in addition to the MBA, I am a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. For those not acquainted with the Lean Six Sigma program, we attempt to reduce costs and/or increase profits using quality management methods specific to the program. In addition, if and when I find a job, hopefully in Tampa, my wife will be looking for employment as well. As she has worked as an office manager for the past 13 years will be looking for something in the same field. My wife and I are grateful for the help and support. Russ Price

The Chilly Willy Duathlon 2013 was of the funnest races I've ever done. And it was chilly - 45 degrees when I arrived and racked my bike. The distances were 5k run - 10mi bike - 5k run. As this was the Southeast championships for duathlon there were alomost 700 entrants. I think I was the only pirate team psych-o there. Next yeatr let's get more people out, it's a REALLY fun, quick race. My first 5k was 24:30, bike was about 24 min, and my 2nd 5k run 24:15. This was my first race on my new Trinity tri bike. Knowing it was only ten miles made it easy to stay in the big chain ring and push the biggest gear I had. I believe I finished 14th of 50 or so in my age group - really happy with that! I did wear all black to represent Team Psych. david goff Karla Malone

What an incredible Saturday morning? And…as the weather started to change shortly after we left, a bit of a gift too. You all played a part in today's success…perhaps some of you weren't able to be with us, but trust me, you were there! From the beginning, when the kids picked up their awesome and packed to the brim Publix Insulated Goody/Lunch Bag that included a Publix Soccer Beach Ball, a Kellogg's Soccer Ball, Kashi GoLean Bar, Dole Fruit Cup, metroPCS Lanyard & more… To the looks of awe as Mayor Buckhorn chatted with them in the sweetest of ways…to the smiles on their faces as they played game after interactive game…posed for photos with 'Carmen & Wagner, the Krewe of Alegria Ladies, Tony The Tiger, Start Wars Characters & the UT Spartan…picked up their Fifth Third Bank piggy bank...got their faces painted…got tattooed by Team Psych Tri, sampled lots of healthy foods from Evos, GoGo Squeeze, Hershey's & Smoothie King...and finally… The time came for them to step up to their Start Line…they concentrated on every instruction that was given and waited on the anticipated 'On You Mark - Get Set - Go!' Some were able to run the entire distance…others walked… some did both…but they all finished and after grabbing a bottle of Zephyrhills Spring Water, watched with wide eyes as their Fifth Third Bank Too Good For Drugs Jr. Gasparilla Distance Classic Finisher's Medal was placed around their necks…then…looked around for their parents affirming words and expressions…awesome! A good time was had by all and the day ended as it began…


with the voice of WQYK DJ, Kurt Shriner. He's a dad himself and did a great job of keeping everyone informed…getting us to the right spots and at the right time…keeping the parents calm as they let their children's hands go in the Start Area...…knowing exactly when the time came for a kind word to address a parent or child's need…Kurt treated the morning as a dad would. You guys are awesome…thanks to you, the kids and parents had tons of fun and I'm certain, made many memories. Thank you so very much…if you ever question your company or organization's giving, giving of yourselves or your time, just remember all of the smiles that we saw today…then, take a look at these photos…this is precisely why we do what we do! In closing, we must say congratulations and a special thank you to Jeremy too! Buddy, you did an awesome job…AWESOME! Have a great Sunday!

The goal is to develop skills in riding, especially with a group. There will be a experienced team member that will agree to keep the beginner rider on track to the end of the ride. There is no excuse to say you have to be stronger or more experienced. the point of these rides is to help the beginner or novice athlete become a triathlete and elevate skills in riding for the beginning triathlete.
