Not only is our team growing in leaps and bounds, the blog has a few new additions...
1. At the right you'll see a list of "who's on the team". While it's a very distinguished list, it isn't difficult to see your name in pink. Just register with USATF and send your number to Deb. Then she'll put you on the official roster and we can get you on the blog.
2. A Team Unattached mission statement. Deb worked on capturing what Team Unattached is all about. I see our team as a fun, encouraging atmosphere to expand your training and racing. A place to help you reach that new level while having a great time. Do you have any ideas on how to improve the mission statement? It takes all of us to make Team Unattached, I'd love to hear what others think the team is about...either send Deb or myself an e-mail or just comment to the blog with any ideas.
Don't forget to sign up for the Human Race. I think you save a few bucks if you register by March 1st. Make sure you plan to attend the post race team meeting at O'Gara's. First round is on me!

Welcome to the 2008 Road Racing Series!
Hello everyone!
The 2008 USATF MN Team Circuit is quickly approaching! I thought it would be a good time to send out some information about the circuit and to hopefully entice you to participate in some or all of the races.
To kick-off the 2008 Circuit, I first want to express my sincere gratitude to all those who participated in the 2007 USATF CC Circuit. I believe I can speak on behalf of everyone that it was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!! Team Unattached performed exceptionally well considering it was either the first time some even ran cross country or it has been a LONG time since you ran on grass. TU has also started a fashion trend in team uniforms and I believe we currently are the envy of all the other racing teams.
Ok, it's time for some official business. USATF requires everyone to be registered as a team and as an individual. I have registered our team and we are officially registered as 30-408. You may need to put this number, along with our name 'team unattached" on some of the registration forms. I am an officer of TU, along with Anne Walztoni and we will take care of the roster and any communications with the USATF officials. You can access a list of clubs at www.usatfmn.org, click on clubs on the left and then club listing on the right. You will also need to obtain a USATF number, which can also be obtained on www.usatfmn.org. You will need this number to participate in the circuit.
The 2008 races are listed below. We can field open, masters and grand masters teams. If you are interested on how the scoring works, please go to www.usatfmn.org, click on distance running on the left, then team circuit on the right.
Now for the FUN! Anne and I want to invite you to our first meeting to take place immediately after the Human Race 8k at O'Gara's Pub located at 164 Snelling Ave. N. in St. Paul. It will be a great time to celebrate your race and talk about any other official business we have concerning the team and/or the circuit. The 2008 racing bras will be available for purchase if you are interested. More details about the racing bras will be made available soon. We will also be holding a drawing for awesome NIKE gear. You must be present to win so please come join us for the fun!
You do not need to make a decision for all the races right now. You can run whatever races fit into your schedule. However, I will need to know if you are planning to run the Human Race 8k on March 16. I will also need you to provide me with your USATF number. You will each need to individually register for the 8K and you can obtain the information at the following link

Please let Anne or I know if you want to be a part of Team Unattached, even if you cannot make it to the first race or to our first meeting. We also encourage you to forward this to anyone you think may be interested in joining the team. We hope you will be part of TEAM UNATTACHED and we are looking forward to an awesome 2008!
Thanks everyone!
Deb and Anne
