Well, my first race is this Saturday, the 13th. It is a Criterium called the Rhapsody Denton. It is a 40 minute race around a track that is about .75 miles in length. The one with the most laps at the end of the 40 minutes wins. The course goes around a football field and thru a parking lot and has 4 or 5 turns.
I'm very excited to get to race while wearing the Ride:Well & Blood:Water Jersey. Raising awareness and money for such a great cause is an honor. Here is what I need from you guys: I want to start out with atleast 5 of you sponsoring me for this race. Well, you won't actually be sponsoring me, you will be sponsoring and providing clean water to thousands of African families. Every $1 you give will take care of one person for a whole year. My $5000 goal could build a well for a whole village, but I need your help.
Like I was saying earlier, this race is 40 minutes long. I would like you to decide in your head how much you will sponsor me for each lap I complete in that 40 minutes. You can do .10, .50, $1, $10, whatever you like, I don't even have to know what amount you decide or if you are able to sponsor me this time or not. You could even throw in a little bonus if I make a top ten finish (there will be about 3o racers). I think I will be able to do about 30 laps in that 40 minutes.
Then, on Saturday afternoon I will post the results of my race and provide instructions on how to give.
Thanks for reading, for your support and especially for your prayers for a safe race!
We'll sponsor you. We'll donate .01 per lap you start, .05 per lap you complete, .10 per lap if you finish the race, .50 per lap if you finish in the top half, .75 per lap if you finish in the top ten, and $1 per lap if you finish in the top five. And to make it even more complicated, add a bonus of $25 for top three and $100 if you complete the most laps in your category.
