TEAM MGD 64 UPDATES

Posted by brianlaw Feb 27, 2009

 

Hey Everyone!

 

Can you believe February will already be over after tomorrow?! Where does the time go?

 

 

You all have been extremely active in promoting MGD 64 this past month which has been reflected in all of the activity reports coming in. Our Team Video Contest ended yesterday and we will be taking the next week to review the videos and determine the winners. Thank you to all who submitted a video!!

 

 

Just a reminder that we need you to submit all of your _un-reported _activity to date by Monday morning. The cash reward earners will be selected on Monday so be sure to keep yourself in the running!!

 

 

Earlier this week, the brand posted the MGD 64 product locator on www.mgd64.com. There is also a widget that is basically a smaller version of the locator that you can place on your personal pages and share with all of your friends. We highly encourage you to use and share this fun tool!

 

 

The widget is located: http://www.mgd64.com/locator/get_widget.html or can be downloaded from http://www.mgd64.com/.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Prizing is as follows:

 

  • First Place (1st): $125 for the team member who submits/directs the video, $75 for each participating team member

  • Runner-up: $75 for the team member who submits/directs the video, $50 for each participating team member

I DID MY FIRST CENTURY! 100 miles on the bike following an old stage coach route through the desert. And, I did it on a tri bike, including climbs. (http://www.shadowtour.com/Century_Rides/2009_Stagecoach.htm) Besides sharing beer, water bottles, coupons and sweat bands, how does this relate to 110 bottles of beer? I burned 7040 calories. Coincidence? I think not.

Went to a New Years dinner hosted by a couple who had recently moved to Carlsbad from France. Of course, I took a cooler full of cold MGD 64. It turns out that France is divided into districts (like counties) called departements. The hostess is from Departemente 64, a luxurious coastal area on the Spanish border best known for Biarritz.

 

 

She was very excited that we brought a beer especially for her and her origins. (see photo)

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL!

Tinsel Triathlon

Posted by Rich Southard Jan 5, 2009

 

I went to Hemet for a triathlon. This is a fun one because it is backward - run first, swim last. While I had been worried about racing in the rain (really more worried about crashing in the rain), when I got there, there was frost on the ground. I don't own cold weather running gear anymore and no cold weather cycling stuff.

 

 

Let me tell you, an elf hat does a great job keeping your head warm. I wonder how some of the big guys I went by felt being passed by someone in elf shoes. It was another fastest 5K and a great ride. See the antlers and red nose in the pictures. I hung out at the bike rack with my cooler afterwards. People were really surpised to get a beer but they liked it after a good workout. Finally I am starting to here, "Oh, I saw this really funny commercial . . .".

Happy Thanksgiving TEAM MGD64!

 

Warm wishes for a wonderful holiday weekend with your family and friends.

 

With less than a week until December 1st we would like to encourage all of you to incorporate MGD 64 into your holiday festivities. It will go great with your home-cooked feasts as it is the lightest calorie beer on the market! Remember to take lots of photos and submit them with your reports by Sunday night.

 

Let's give it one last push for the month of November and show them what it is all about Team. As of today, the current market high score is as follows for the month of November:

 

 

  • San Diego: 250

 

The overall market high score for the month of November is currently 300 points. You still have 5 days to beat out the competition - we know that you can do it!

 

I look forward to hearing about your weekend's events when I pull the report on Monday and again have a very safe and happy holiday.

 

Warm regards,

PICTURE THIS: Beach Bunnies. Movie Premiers. You and 11 of your closest friends running day and night. Starting in the American Riviera, Santa Barbara, your team of 12 runners will embark on a 177 mile adventure-fest. The party in your van will only get better as you leap frog your way down the beautiful Pacific Coast. You'll feel the ocean-spray as you fly past the star-studded Malibu, Ca and the "South-Swells" of Huntington Beach. The race (and your stamina) will wrap up where the spectacular bluffs meet the crashing waves of Dana Point.

This seems like something totally fun and insane to do together in April. I think Brian should organize a TeamMGD64 entry. If we can't get 1`2 from these two markets, who else of the 72 wants to play? Besides, we finish close to home.

Holiday Races

Posted by Rich Southard Nov 7, 2008

 

I just registered for the Oceanside Turkey Trot, the Turkey Tri in San Dimas and the Tinsel Tri in Hemet and the Holiday Bowl 5K. This may pretty much take care of the holiday race season.

 

 

If anyone wants to join in the fun and carpool to San Dimas or Hemet, let me know. The Tinsel Tri should be lots of fun because it is backward (run, bike, swim) and the swim is short if that is a worry for you.

Hey everyone-

 

Recently I shared MGD64 with one of my indoor soccer teams after a tough loss to end our season. I think it lifted our spirits right back up! Everyone really enjoyed it and all comments I got were positive. I'll post some pictures in the photo gallery.

 

 

I'm working on getting an event organized for the weekend of November 22nd - 23rd, and I'd love to have the SD ambassadors there. The type of event has yet to be confirmed, but as soon as it is I'll let you all know.

MGD 64 has become a hit with The B Team in Carlsbad's Tuesday Night CoEd League. Since we received our ambassador package and the beer card, my team has been enjoying "sponsor beer." This past Tuesday after winning the first game of the playoffs, we enjoyed some more cold MGD 64 and then went out and won the league (by mercy rulenoe less!). One of our women decided that MGD 64 will be our lucky beer. Picture of team with trophy will be posted on the commuity site.

Hey Everyone!

 

 

Just wanted to invite you all to an amazing event going at La Jolla Cove this weekend- the Challenged Athletes Triathlon. I'll be doing a relay with a team from work and riding in the bike portion. I'm sure that I will be enjoying an MGD 64 after my segment...it should be a reasonable beer drinking hour! 

 

 

I'm hoping that we can all get together and plan an event soon so we can meet!            Allison

Welcome to the Team MGD 64 San Diego Blog. We created this blog so you and your fellow MGD 64 ambassadors could collaborate and communicate with each other regarding all things MGD 64. Not only can you alert your peers about upcoming happy hours and social events, but also build personal relationships with your market and maybe find a new drinking buddy or two! Your market may prove to be your biggest help throughout your sponsorship because they are experiencing the same things you are.

 

 

Happy Blogging!

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

Team MGD 64 Manager

Finally Team MGD64 is getting rolling. My softball team is excited to see the cooler get filled. I have been working and reworking on my race schedule for the next year: race-a- month in 2009. Time to step up to Olympic distance. I have the new bike and have started running in Newton's. I will be ready.
