Cancer is defiant. So we're going to defy it. It's persistent. So we have to persevere. It's discouraging. So we must have courage. We are doing the LIVESTRONG Challenge - uniting people to pick a fight with cancer and to stand up for the nearly 12 million Americans living with cancer today.

Join the Les Mills RPM cycling team as we ride our butts off in an effort to further the research, find a cure and help support those families touch by cancer in one form or another.

The loudest voice out there is our resource; the Lance Armstrong, Live Strong Challenge in Austin Texas on October 26th, 2008. It's a mere 90 miles....

The North America RPM Trainers want to build a huge team and we can't do it alone! We want you to join us in the fight!

YOU NEED TO BE INVOLVED!
YOU NEED TO REPRESENT LES MILLS!
YOU NEED TO RIDE ON OUR TEAM!
SIGN UP NOW!

Hi Mark- thanks for your note. I had a great bike pushing big gears- so I'm sure it cut into my run a bit. But, the difference between 8:30 pace and 8:50 pace is only 4 minutes- versus the difference of 1 mph being a lot more. The run did get hot- my pace actually got faster as I went so that's a good sign. NEXT? Volunteering at Lake Placid! And, signing up for next year's Ironman. Super excited. What about you? Plans for 08-09? See you at the quarterly in August...

Mark! Tupper Lake... done. a slow swim at 45 min, solid bike- avg. 20.6 mph and a slow run (8:50 pace) for a finish at 5:26:22 (unofficial). Disappointed with the run most but all in all, what a great course- hilly! the bike was FUN. Thought of you rockin' it out there last year. Promised you I would let you know. Nothing posted online yet. Talk to you soon.
