This is an excerpt from the last TIR Email Newsletter:
Wayyyy back at the stroke of midnight on March 1, 2007, the TIR opened it's registration for it's inaugural running. The process to make the registration "go live" was literally the click of a button, which was clicked at exactly 12:00:00AM. Not thinking anything of it, I looked at my email before retiring for the day, and there was an email indicating that a registration had already been completed. It had to be some sort of glitch because it literally was there 2 seconds after registration opened. But, it wasn't... to this day, how it was done so quickly remains a mystery! This was the genesis of Team 1, and they have run the TIR every year since.
What started out as a family thing, quickly grew to include old friends and new. According to Thuy Nguyen, their team captain, "No matter what the makeup of the team, we've been blessed with amazing team chemistry. Everyone just clicks! We are family members, friends of friends, veteran runners and newbies. From our diverse backgrounds and varying experiences we remain united through one thing, the run. We may never be one of the fastest teams on the pavement, but we'll always be the first team online. :) "
