I'm still reflecting back on Rock'n'Roll weekend and how quickly it flew past us. The training months go on forever and most of us are about to renew our training for whatever the next event might be, maybe a Thanksgiving Day turkey trot, another marathon or half. But isn't it amazing what a whirlwind we were swept up in the weekend of November 15th? Let's cherish those memories and the many other things we learned about ourselves through the challenges we jointly undertook.
I was thrilled to finally meet Joy and Jay Hilscher at their Lone Star Relays booth at the Expo. If Lone Star Relays doesn't ring a bell, you might know of Jay and Joy for the Texas Independence Relay (TIR). That's why I went out of my way to say hello. The TIR happens to be my favorite race. I've captained the Mid-Texas Symphony team through the race twice and am looking forward to the third race in early March 2010.
Actually, I think I have said hello to Joy at the TIR finish line each time (they are hands-on organizers), but this was my first time to shake Jay's hand and thank both of them for the wonderful relay they brainstormed. They are now branching into sponsorship of a couple more relays, the Hillie Billie Relay around Canyon Lake and the brand new Capitol 2 Alamo (C2A) Relay scheduled to debut next August. These now reside, along with the TIR, under the auspices of the new brand of Lone Star Relays. Check them out.
Thanks again, Jay and Joy, for the wonderful experiences I've had with my team at the Texas Independence Relay. Go Mid-Texas Symphony!
