It's Getting Close!!

Hey WORLD,

We are about a week and some days away from March 8th. It's starting to get a little daunting to think about the task that lies ahead. You start to wonder if you've really put in enough time in the pool or at the gym. Juan is working on getting a gym membership together so that he can get some more practice in the pool because he is really determined to make the cut. Will is also been putting in work at the gym to the point that people are really starting to notice his transformation.

I think that all three of us just feel better and more energized now that we've been getting into better shape. We still have a long way to go until race day though so plenty of time to improve. The diet we have ourselves on isn't the most friendly for Will and I. We are two fat guys at heart and just want to eat everything and drink heavy beers. But we are determined on staying true, for the most part ;)

Lastly, we have been receiving donations and are up to about $350! This is great to see and we are very happy and grateful. Be on the look out for a couple events that we will be putting together to raise the remainder of our goal of $6000. Possibilities include a guest bartender night at a bar downtown and maybe a fundraising dinner. If you have any other suggestions just shoot them our way.

We would love to hear your comments and words of support! Until next time, peace, love and gatorade!

Engin, Will and Juan

TEAM GYM TIME

Hello WORLD,

We actually had a chance to go to the gym as a team yesterday. We had a good time, although, you won't see much of it because we were half naked most of the time. IN THE POOL! Enjoy and remember to DONATE

Welcome to Our Blog: Lambdas Racing to Save Lives

Engin introduced us to the Team in Training program ran through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are training to participate in an endurance event as members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

We are completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

This is our first Triathlon. Not only are we competing for people battling cancer, our personal goal it to get fit and help Juan learn how to swim by March 8th! So, if anything donate to Juan's adult swim class. ... LOL We're just joking, but seriously Juan is a non-swimmer and is getting out of his comfort zone and has committed to learn to swim in order to compete with us. Our race days is June 27th, please feel free to join us on race day for support to the finish line.

Please make a donation to support the Lambdas' participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Donate, it feels good & it's TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Our team goal is $6,000.

75 cents of every dollar goes toward the cause (research, etc...) and 25 cents to non-profit organization The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for maintaining programs like Team in Training.

We hope you will visit our blog and site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see our progress. Thanks for your support!
