Ragnar Race Report and Pic

Posted by krosenlof Mar 4, 2009

Hi everyone!

Since I couldn't post a picture as part of my comment to Amy's Ragnar post, I started my own thread. I ran with Baker's Dozen, so named because my husband, Dean, was the "13th" member of the group as our overnight bicyclist. He biked essentially non-stop for 11 hours and 71 miles! We all appreciated his effort.

Anyway, here's a link to my race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=148852

Enjoy!

Happy Hour this Thursday at Padre Murphy's in Glendale

Posted by krosenlof Jan 26, 2009

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm setting up an impromptu Happy Hour this Thursday at Padre Murphy's bar, 43rd Ave. and Bell Road in Glendale. Our company had a hellacious week last week, with almost everyone working overtime to meet deadlines on three different projects that all converged like the perfect storm! So we're going to blow off some steam, and I maneuvered things to get it at a bar that serves MGD64.

If you happen to be in the area on Thursday, stop by! We're starting happy hour about 5:30, but should be there for a couple of hours. I'll be wearing my black MGD64 jersey (everyone at work wants to see what it looks like anyway).

We're Getting Noticed!

Posted by krosenlof Dec 16, 2008

Hey Team Phoenix,

I ran the Fiesta Bowl Half Marathon this past Sunday and had a great race! I ran the first 10 miles at about a 10-minute per mile pace, then kicked it up to sub-9's for the last 5k. You should have seen the looks on the faces of guys I passed at the end when I went by in the bright yellow MGD64 shirt!

Anyway, during the race, I received several comments and questions about MGD64 and the program. One person asked, "cool shirt, how do I get one?" Another person asked, "Were you at IronGirl last week?" And another person said that MGD64 was the only beer she drinks. This was really the first time I got a lot of comments about the MGD64 shirt, and all were positive.

I hope you all are getting the same kind of positive feedback. I think we're starting to make an impact!!!

Anyone Doing Fiesta Bowl Half this Sunday?

Posted by krosenlof Dec 12, 2008

Hey everyone,

I'll be representing Team MGD64 at the Fiesta Bowl Half Marathon this Sunday. Anyone else running it?

This is going to be just another marathon training run for me, as some women from my run club are going to join me for a 5-mile warm up before the race. Then we're heading to the Original Pancake House for breakfast afterwards! Want to join us?

Hope to see you at the start line! As I remember from last year, it's a much smaller race than say, IronGirl, and we should be able to find each other a lot easier!

MGD 64 Billboards

Posted by krosenlof Dec 1, 2008

Hey Team Phoenix,

Has anyone else started noticing the MGD64 billboards up around town? I saw two this past weekend -- in Tempe on McClintock north the of Red Mountain 202, and in Chandler on Arizona Ave. south of the San Tan 202. It makes me smile to see our product being well promoted!

Anyone seen billboards in other parts of town?

If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi! I'll be in the MGD64 shirt.

MGD64 Hot Air Ballooning

Posted by krosenlof Nov 7, 2008

Hey Team Phoenix,

Thought you might enjoy this pic, even if it doesn't count for any points (it's hard to promote MGD64 in the desert!). My black MGD64 jersey is so big that my husband can (and does) wear it. So he wore it out ballooning last weekend when we crewed for another balloon.

We also have a balloon and will be flying in Chandler on Nov. 22 and during Thanksgiving weekend (definitely Friday morning). If anyone would like to come out and crew (and possibly get a flight out of it), let me know!

Team MGD at SOMA

Posted by krosenlof Oct 26, 2008

Hey everyone!

I was out at SOMA triathlon today taking photos in support of participating friends, and ran into Team MGD64 ambassador Karen. Attached are pictures of her in action! Unfortunately I was behind the camera all day and didn't think to have someone take MY picture even though I wore the black MGD64 jersey.

I think I also saw Dave in the transition area because he was wearing an "Extreme Adventures" jersey, but he ran by too fast for me to get a pic. And I never did see Tanya during the entire course, although I was looking for her...

Congrats to our Team MGD folks who finished SOMA!
