Has anyone looked at the CRMS calendar?

I just noticed that a little bit ago. Either TriDoc is prescient, or somebody beat us too it. I'm going to chose to believe #1. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Thor, as for logo inspiration for Heather, I suspect she may be stuck on coming up with a new way to do the traditional swim/bike/run graphics... but you can lift that worry off her shoulders, since we're a "multi-sport" group... not just a triathlon one.<br><br>
Maybe it's just a matter of doing the name "Lost in Transition" or "Team Lost in Transition" in an interesting font and/or layout.<br><br>
Or, maybe she can incorporate an image that would evoke a worldwide online group. I dunno, maybe a computer screen imposed on the world with Lost in Transition wrapped around it? I dunno... that may be too literal.<br><br>
Anyone else have fodder to send Heather's brain off in a good direction?<br><br>
Oh, and for you long term Kicksters, we'd been thinking of getting some "Team" apparel of some sort for our little group... caps or something. In part, it would be a way for us to spot each other at races. We'd considered Team CRMS (Cool Running Multi-Sport), but with the transition from CR to Active, we began to steer away from that. Then, mid-forum transition, we hit upon the notion of "Lost in Transition" as a team name. Seems kinda fun... and a great conversation starter when in actual transition zones pre-race.<br><br>
Thor volunteered his Ironmate, Heather, to do a logo for us... but she needs some ideas to send her down the right path. So if you have logo notions, offer them up now. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I emailed Thor an idea I had since I'm pretty hopeless with graphics. It was an upside down trapezoid over the letters LIT, kind of looked like a lightbulb or a glass. I thought some stylized figures denoting S/B/R or MS in the middle of the trapezoid would be nice.

If the problem is collecting photos and editing and putting them together, I can do that, and I'd volunteer, but if the problem is getting enough people to order, well, I can lobby, but I can only do so much. But I'd try, and I'd do so with keen interest, becasue I LOVE the Team CRMS Calendar.

I'd order one. I also love the calendar.<br><br>
Better get cranking on a new one, there's only a couple months left.<br>
Not that I'm saying to... you know... get moving, like off your butt... but, just saying there's only two months left.<br><br>
Lemme know when to send pics.

A little of both. That is why last year. I had purchase links set up. That was a huge help for me. Saved me time and money.<br><br>
I have used <a href="http://www.digi-labs.net/" target="_blank">http://www.digi-labs.net/</a> download the software and then upload the final calendar.<br><br>
Maybe we have a bigger base here to keep it going.

Hi All,<br>
I'm tri-doc's wife. I had his cool shirt made at runningbanana.com. I think it cost ~$30 for a technical shirt. I can't remember where I first heard/saw "Lost in Transition". I know I'm not clever enough to have thought of it myself. So feel free to use it as your team name. No infringement on me (but I can't speak for anyone else). Doesn't it just sum up exactly how you feel sometimes? Tri-on people.<br>

Count me in for the calender again - I have no preference as to what month - I believe I will be Miss February 08 along with the Gorgeous LRR in the current version<br><br>
I am also very keen on the LIT idea<br>
I had a very weired dream about it last night - I know we spoke about Hats or Visors (as lots of us already race in team kit) But I was running up to the finish line for IM Germany (Next July) and I realised that I had dropped my L.I.T. Hat somewhere on the marathon course and I had promised you guys that I would wear it crossing the finish line so 25yds from the end of the Marathon I turned around and started to run back the other way - fighting my way through crowds of finishers to try and find my hat - IM Germany is a four loop run course along the banks of the river - I spotted a swan in the middle of the river wearing my hat - I tried to climb the fence and jump in after it but a marshall stopped me and told me I needed a wetsuit for the swim - I insisted that I had already done the swim - no good - So panicking even more I sat down and was about to give up when I heard a foghorn and turned around and A submarine is coming towards the bank with the hat on its periscope I managed to snag the hat put it on and run back towards the finish line - I crossed the line pointing at the hat and was promptly disqualified for getting the help of a submarine on the swim ????<br><br>
I need to stop eating cheese so late at night - Trying to finish off the last of the Christmas Cheese - a really nice smelly Camembert<br><br>
By The way the hat was white with a royal blue writing and Logo but I cant remember what the logo was<br><br>
