Good morning, good afternoon

Yes, I get up early. Before sunrise. No, not to train like most dedicated athletes, but to get to work. I'd love to have my mornings free to enjoy the summer sunrise and bask in the tranquil waters of the lake. But no. So I take a picture and head to the field office for the 6 AM meeting.



On Sunday, my one day off, I managed to get out for a long ride. Then I strapped on the feed bag and topped off my tank. I went outside and pulled up at the lakeside with a lounge chair, began reading and fell asleep.
My trusty dog woke me up to let me know we had visitors.



Summer is good.

Hi,

I recently came across your blog and thought you might be interested in writing a guest blog for The Clymb. We're a private sale network for a vast array of outdoor brands that include running, biking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding and other outdoor/athletic accessories.

We’re running a blog series asking outdoor enthusiasts to tell us about their Clymbs. A Clymb can be the motivation behind climbing a mountain or getting up before the sun to go for a run. The blog should reveal how you got started in the sport, what inspires you, and what you’ve gained or learned.

We think our members would be interested in why people participate in certain activities and that it’d be a pretty fun read. We’ll link back to your blog in the post, tweet about it and share it with our fans on Facebook. We have a wide reach and you should get new readers because of it.

Here are a few blogs that we recently ran from some climbers:

http://theclymb.com/blog/2010/06/be-safe-live-long-climb-hard-by-rick-radliff/

We’d also love it if you accepted the invitation for a free membership below:

• http://theclymb.com/invite-from/TriBlogger

Twice a week, members receive deals on popular athletic brands like DAKINE, SIGG, and Mountain Khakis. Once you become a member, you'll have your own invite code you can share with your friends. Upon shipment of their first order, you'll receive a $10 credit for your own future purchases. (That's $10 per first shipment for each person you sign up).

Also, if you know of other triathletes with blogs that might be interested, please let me know.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Nina Perez
