The True Definition of Team at the 2010 Chicago Triathlon

As our team has stated before, EVOLVE isn’t just a slogan. We are dedicated to evolving as a team and pushing ourselves to the limit.

Well, this weekend we are truly pushing ourselves as a number of our team members are participating in this weekend’s Lifetime Chicago Triathlon, one of the largest Triathlons in the world. Over 7,000 indisviduals will race for a cause, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Our team couldn’t be more excited and pumped to participate in this big event. Each team member has been dedicated to working hard and making sure they are prepared to do one of the most rewarding and challenging task of their lives. As a company, we couldn’t be more proud of what these team members have accomplished already as they lead into this weekend.

The Triathlon events kick off early Saturday morning and a few members of the team have some thoughts on how they feel leading into the race:

“I am proud of the commitment team 3D has shown in preparing for the event.  The hard work is done, now it is time to relax and enjoy the race experience. The team is excited and ready for their first Triathlon.” – Gene Faut, President

“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it is almost here. The nerves have past and I am on to excitement. I have been training since April, so this week will be tapering down and concetrating on not getting hurt. I can see the finish line…” – Jolene Nork

“As a Mom, I feel like I do everything for my kids and family and don’t get to do things for me. The Triathlon this weekend is something I am doing for myself and I am really excited that I put the time in and focused on doing this for me. I am proud that I have stuck this through because believe me, there were times when I couldn’t train for a week because of a sick kid and I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this. I know that I have to do this for myself!” – Jaime Jachim

“We’re down to the wire now. All the training, sweat and getting ready will be put to the test this weekend. It is going to be a gas. Good luck to all the 3D Tri-athletes. The finish line is in sight.” – Jim Mischke

“I never thought I would be participating in a Triathlon, but after months of training, I think I am ready. I am both nervous and excited but most of all really proud of myself! Just crossing the finish line will be a huge accomplishment!” – Shauna Hogan

The entire 3D Exhibits team couldn’t be more supportive and excited about our team members crossing the finish line. Best of luck to everyone participating and we look forward to sharing the experience with all of you!

Here are just some of the team members participating in this weekend’s Triathalon. We can’t wait to post a group picture at the finish line!
