CES (Cutting Edge Sumplements), Kirksville

A KVMS member told me about a new CES store coming to Kirksville in February. What's not to love about having a supplement store in our community. Be sure to show your local support and check out Cutting Edge Supplements for your supplement needs! CES is extending a 10% discount to KVMS members that present their current membership card. (Not a member? Sign up today!) Thank you CES!

2010 KVMS Award Winners

Congratulations to all 2010 KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT members for participating in the 2010 Points Series. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Both Club Champions had to work hard this season to keep their lead as 2nd Place was right on their heels. This positioning made for fun and exciting inner-club competition.

(back row) Allen Goans, Nikki Moore, Royce Kallerud, Marilyn Mihalovich;
(front row) Donovan Gaines, Lauren Gaines; (not pictured) Bob Keogh, Deb Holte

Male Champion: Allen Goans
2nd Place: Royce Kallerud
3rd Place: Bob Keough
Youth: Donovan Gaines

Female Champion: Marilyn Mihalovich
2nd Place: Deb Holte
3rd Place: Nikki Moore
Youth: Lauren Gaines

I must admit when the season started I didn't care much about the points because I was a beginner runner. However, as the season progressed I found myself asking Allen where I stood in points after every race. I ended up 5th overall and was pretty surprised at how much I improved over the year.

Not a member yet? Wait no longer, print out the membership form below and mail it to us right away. There is an entire group of multisport friends just waiting to meet you and train with you!

Stay warm and safe this week!

ROCKTOBERFEST 5K RUN / 11 MI BIKE!

Come on everybody... let's do it!  This one has been on our radar for a few weeks now and I've heard a few members talk about participating.  It's close to home, it's early in the day and you can still go to your Halloween Party that night.  Here's the sign up sheet with more information!

Point Series Schedule 2011

There are so many multisport events out there... how do we choose?  Well, we're starting to plan the 2011 Point Series Schedule and would like your input.  We know you'd like to visit more neighboring cities and I'd like to include a few bike rides as well.  Let us know some of your favorite events that other KVMS Members would enjoy.  Contact Allen Goans with your suggestions.  Thank you!

NEW Weekly Workout Schedule

Due to ever changing schedules, we've rearranged the KVMS weekly workout schedule.  The track workout has moved to Mondays; Allen and Ivy are both teaching spin classes at TCC on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and weather permitting, bike night will probably continue well into October.  I've noted the schedule changes to your right.

We realize our schedule doesn't necessarily work with your schedule, but we're wide open to you, the KVMS member, creating a workout group of your own.  Let us know what you've got planned and we'll post it here on the blog and send out reminders via email and facebook.

One more thing.  KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT is vacating the office in downtown Kirksville.  If you need to get a hold of us, please send an email to kvmultiport@gmail.com.

Random Ramblings

The points have been calculated and I'm working on getting them posted so those participating Members will know where they stand going into the Run Through the Jungle race on Saturday, September 4th.  It's actually the next race in our KVMS Points Series.  Thanks, Bob, for pointing that out.

As KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT grows in Membership, we would love for you to get involved.  If you would like to lead a group swim, evening bike ride or weekend run, please do!  We'd be happy to send an email to the Membership to advertise your event.  That's what being a Member is all about. For instance, last weekend in preparation for the upcoming triathlon, we took out two boats for an open water swim at the lake, then we rode the 18 mile bike route and ran the 5 mile course.  It was well attended and everybody had a great time.

One last thing, there are lots of new and returning people to Kirksville, please encourage your friends and family to get involved in KVMS.  Membership is only $10 and we can do amazing things in numbers.  Swim. Bike. Run. For Fun.

Enjoy the cooler temperatures and see you at the races.

Points Series Update

If you're a KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT member and interested in the current status of the Points Series, here you go! These points incorporate all KVMS races so far. The last Points Series race was the SAA 10k, and the next race is coming up this Monday (see my previous post). Hope to see you at the races. If not racing... cheering on those who are! Have a terrific Tuesday!

KVMS brings home the juice!

Seven KVMS members participated in the Trizou/Duzou event last weekend.  This event was one of the races in our Points Race Series and I highly recommend it!

Allen and I participated in the Duzou (duathlon). There were 80 participants in this race.  I loved this race because as of right now... I don't like to swim.  I'm hoping to change that in the coming year.

Jason Shaw, Erin Case and Jennifer Bubel participated in the Trizou (triathlon). There were well over 800 in this race.

Pictured above is Jason Shaw crossing the finish line sporting the KVMS tri suit!  Loved it.  Jason did VERY well and has decided to sign up for the upcoming HyVee Tri in June!  Go Jason!

Pictured above is Erin Case crossing the finish line as well.  She had amazing splits as well.  I can only hope that I could run her 5k time after a swim and 14 mile hilly bike ride!  Way to go Erin!

Allen won the Duzou overall with a time of 37.19 and brought home the juice!  They gave out bottles of wine with their medals!  Very nice.

I took home second place in my age group which entitled me to some juice as well.  We got lots of PR on our shirts and how bright they are... gotta love that kind of free marketing as a PR gal myself!

Here we are post race:  Jason, Erin, Allen, me, Bob and Janis Keough celebrating at Flat Branch.  Good times had by all.  And a great big thank you to Janis for capturing these moments for us to share with the world.   Speaking of which, check out our facebook page for a look at ALL the pictures from race day!

2010 ARISE Race Results

The ARISE event was not a designated race in the KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT Points Race Series, however we wanted to highlight the participation and results of our members in this local race.

We've been told this will be an annual event and we'll most likely include it in the KVMS 2011 Points Race Series. It was a fabulous event and it was SO nice to have the bike leg included... I'm more of a biker than runner, so I'd love to see more races like this one! Thank you Ernst and Charles for putting this event together!  Cheers!  -Brooke

Team Kirksville Multisport at St. Pats 5K

For more pictures from the St. Pats 5K, become a Facebook fan of KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT and view over 100 photos taken by Janis Keough (thank you Janis).  Allen will have the Points Race Series results soon and we'll post here for your viewing pleasure and bragging rights!  And hey, if you're not a member yet, it's never too late to sign up... it's only $10.

Updated Points Race Series

Allen decided to break down the race points to reflect percentage points and bonus points.  A membership letter is being mailed out today that explains the Points Race Series in very simple terms.  Hope it helps and enjoy tracking your points!

See you at the Frost Bite 5k

From the sounds of it we'll have a great showing of KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT members at the Frost Bite 5k this weekend. Look for Allen, Bob, Janis and I... we'll all be sporting our KVMS colors! Allen, Bob and I are running and I think Janis mentioned taking pictures. Of course, I may change my mind if this snow doesn't go away soon!

Our membership is growing quickly and it's so exciting... lots of new faces coming out of the woodwork. If you haven't joined yet... just bring your membership dues with you on Saturday and you'll be included in the 2010 Points Race.  If you don't care about the Points Race and still want to join... please do, we'd love to have you.

And on another note... I added a link to the Stars and Stripes Marathon race in the column on the right.  It's not entirely complete, but wanted to get the basics out there so everybody can start planning and training.  As always, contact any of us with questions.
