Spring Spartans

Introducing, “The Borg.” These men represent a group of highly trained cybernetic organisms, similar to those depicted on the sci-fi TV show, Star Trek. On the show, the Borg’s role was that of invasion threat to the United Federation of Planets. In triathlon racing, The Borg pose a similar threat to their competition. They’re motto: Resistance is futile. Like all Borg brethren, they manifest themselves as cybernetically enhanced humanoid drones of multiple species organized as an interconnected multi-sport collective, the decisions of which are made by a “hive mind” linked to subspace domain known only as “JB.” The Borg inhabit a vast region of roadways, hiking trails, swimming holes, and tasting rooms in the wine regions of Sonoma County. The Borg possess hundreds of aero-dynamic vessels and have conquered thousands of endurance events around the globe. They operate solely toward the fulfilling of one purpose: to “add the biological and technological distinctiveness of other species to their own pursuit of swimming, biking, and running perfection. This, they achieve through forced assimilation, a process, not unlike bullying, which transforms individuals and technology into Borg, enhancing, and simultaneously controlling, individuals by implanting or appending synthetic and ultralight Shimano (usually Dura-Ace) components to their existing time-trial platforms. Resistance is futile!

The 2010 Wine Country Century

Congratulations to Jeff Ottoboni on the completion of his first cycling century last weekend at Wine Country. Huge improvements in learning over 2009! The 2010 Vineman 70.3 is on its way!

The 2010 Spartan Stampede raised over $10,000 for Windsor Middle School

My own Windsor Middle School saw its 5th edition of the Spartan Stampede, a 3k running/fundraising event which 1000 grade 6-8 students run over the course of the school day. Stampede offers participants a genuine race experience, complete with tons of sponsors, cool prizes, and a rockin’ DJ to keep the beat goin’ strong throughout the day. Our PTA makes it all possible. Check out the 1st period edition >>> (there was 6 more after this one!!). Coach B (aka- Mr. Shebest) ran his fair share!
