One sultry summer afternoon, Adam (Master P) picked me up in his beat up Chrysler minvan with bench seats and no A/C. We rolled down to Kure Beach for a triathlon. Our pre-race pasta dinner was punctuated with details of great finish times and achievements of mysterious names:
"Sunny" "Sidd" "Jamey"
Details on the race are sketchy, but my mom has a framed 9x5 photo of me wearing bright red tri shorts, some late model beach shades, and nothing else but a big grin.
Since then I've raced some of the bigger races and talked a bigger game. I started the team with high hopes, and I distinctly remember Adam P. telling me that it was a pipe dream. Made me smile last night as I left our meeting when I looked over my shoulder and saw our new VP 'transacting' some important business.
Though I'm takin' it a little easier this year on the race course, I'm excited about being part of such a top-notch team.
Watch out for our team co-founder again on the 2010 team. Soft spoken and steady, Aaron has a long history of excellent racing. Don't be surprised if this humble yet stealth racer flies by you on the course. No doubt that he'll again post some top elite amateur finishes at some of the biggest races in the state and beyond. He's also the artist behind our team helmets, so make sure to catch a glimpse of his if you can focus your eyes as he whizzes by!
