So, I get this package in the mail this afternoon....I open it up and it's a brooks team singlet and shorts. I think "Uh, what?" and then I realize....
I applied for sponsorship back in November, more specifically, their I.D. racing team. I totally forgot. I heard about it actually by reading that article that Trent linked me to about the girl that beat me at the Monkey. Of course, at the time, he was just suggesting that she was going to beat me Anyway, there was something in there about her saying she was sponsored by Brooks, so I did some poking around and figured out that she was in their I.D. program. I applied because I thought, why not, our race times are similar.
Apparently I was accepted and my gmail account has been spamming the emails. I searched for them and found the acceptance letter and other stuff.
It doesn't mean a whole lot....- but still exciting! I can progress to "higher tiers of sponsorship" it says. There are two higher tiers, of 3. I must run faster, among other things, like "demonstrating my passion for Brooks" to get to the higher tiers.
That being said, I must now go and toss out all my Mizunos.
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Can I get a singlet too?
Is it green in color by chance?
It's bright yellow. Like the sun.

good work.
If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila
Right on Hereford...
That's cool! I've thought about filling out the application for the ID program, but I have never worn Brooks shoes.
I have a friend on Team Nebraska Brooks and this is their guidelines: http://www.teamnebraska.com/guidelines.htm
Did they send you a list of specific times to hit for the higher tiers?
Congrats!

VERY cool Candice!! CONGRATS!!!
40% off gear is nice. I like their shoes and have done some wear-testing for them. Plus they are in my hood so that's cool too.
