Are you interested in endurance sports (cycling, triathlon, running)?

Trying to get the word out about US Military Endurance Sports. So many people I meet at endurance events that are current or former military have no clue about this great program. There are tons of services offered such as race reimbursement, coaching, a nutritionist on staff and tons of discounts on equipment. We would love to have your presence on the team. Thanks so much v/r Maj Boma

US Military Endurance Sports is currently doing a membership drive to educate like minded individuals on the benefits of endurance sports. We have recently changed our motto to "Fit for Duty, Fit for Life," something every member takes seriously and attempts to embody on a daily basis. Please try to help me get the word out about this remarkable organization that has changed so many lives in the short amount of time since its inception. We currently host fully funded training camps for wounded veterans, and have a diverse team of athletes that support one another on a daily basis. see USMES.org for membership benefits (to include an array of discounts worldwide) and to apply today (open to current and separated members of the military; active, guard and reserve). Tell them Bart sent you.

I've participated in 1 sprint distance Tri-Athlon, though I didn't know about US Military Endurance Sports until your post. The experience was awesome. I had a ton of fun, and the training to get ready for it didn't hurt either.

Wife (Also a Marine Vet) & I actually ran a half this morning. We'll check it out. We run about 10-20 events a year.

I have been on a triathlon team here in Colorado for 3 years now. I have done 4 sprints and an olympic with 3 sprints scheduled this year. I've never heard of this program. I will have to look into it . Thanks for the info.

I love that so many service members are interested in a fit lifestyle. I have met some of my best friends at races! I'll get signed up!

Most of my squadron and group leadership run with together! It's a great way to get out of the office and get to know each other

President Bush did pretty good hanging in there with the young troops.

Maj Private RallyPoint Member thanks for the post. I've been cycling with a couple of guys here in Hawaii for the last year that are members of USMES. Have been thinking about it, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. About to PCS so I won't be on the bike for a couple months while our stuff is in transit, but I will definitely look into joining up once we get to the new duty station.

I love racing. Triathlon is where my heart lies.

I'm certainly going to look into USMES, for sure. If I join, I hope I can figure a way to "advertise" for USMES as well as Team RWB.
