Happy Fall Fellow TRIDEXXERs!

For most of us, the training season is winding down and we are switching to different activities in the fall to stay active. Perhaps participating in the Fit in Five Challenge being organized by the Fitness Center will provide motivation to keep active as the days are getting shorter and cooler. Please see the information from the latest Fitness Center Update at the bottom of this e-mail for more details.

We thought it would be fun to create a TRIDEXX team as well. You can, and should, sign up with your department using the link provided below, but please also reply to this e-mail before Monday, Sept 26^th to be part of the TRIDEXX team. To participate with TRIDEXX (after initial sign-up), it is as simple as sending your weekly tracking sheet to your team captain (assigned by Fitness Center) and to me each week. I will tally up all the TRIDEXX participants and work with the Fitness Center to see how we compare to the other IDEXX teams.

We hope you will join us as we are planning to organize some fun opportunities to exercise with others and will be giving out some awards and prizes along the way as well. The TRIDEXX Steering Committee is still working out the particulars, but our main goal is to keep building our group and finding fun ways to keep active post-season.

We realize that not everyone in TRIDEXX may be members of the Fitness Center so we decided that for our challenge, we will have a slightly different point system structure as well.

	Point Systems:
Fitness Center	1 point for every ten minutes of exercise	3 points for every workout in the Fitness Center
TRIDEXX	1 point for every ten minutes of exercise	*3 points for every multi-sport workout**

	* multisport workout = At least 20 minutes of one activity followed by at least 20 minutes of another activity

Once I know who is participating I will send out tracking sheets (you should get these from your department captain, but I will also send just in case) and create a separate e-mail distribution list for this challenge.

Hope to hear from you soon!

The TRIDEXX Steering Committee
