As
some of you remember, Chrissie Wellington graciously offered up a fair
chunk of autographed gear a few weeks to benefit the Blazeman
Foundation. The winning bid on the eBay auction was $5,300, but the
winning bidder decided that he could not pay and stated he was merely
bidding to up the price.
So, before we re-list the auction on eBay, I'd
like to extend a special offer to readers of this forum.
For a
tax-deductible donation of $5,000, you will receive all of the items of
the auction. This is to benefit a great cause and it could be a great
holiday gift for the triathlete who already has it all. The items are
as follows:
- Ironman
World Champion Chrissie Wellington's Cervelo P2C frame that she raced
on in 2008. The frame has been autographed with a silver pen. This is
the very frame that won Ironman Germany, the Alpe d'Huez Triathlon,
Timberman 70.3 and the Long Course World Championship.
- A signed, unused TYR racing singlet
- Chrissie's 2008 cycling shoes that she wore in Kona (autographed as well)
- Chrissie's 2007 Kona running shoes (autographed as well)
- An autographed copy of the January 2009 issue of Triathlete Magazine, featuring Chrissie on the cover
- A blurb and photo in Triathlete Magazine congratulating the winning bidder (if the winning bidder so chooses)
- A signed copy of the 30th anniversary Ironman hard cover commemorative book
- A letter of authenticity for all products signed by Chrissie
- A
nutrition pack from Cytosport featuring: (1) case (4 tubs) of Cytomax
powder (any flavors); (1) variety box of Cytomax packets; (1) case (4
tubs) of Muscle Milk powder (any flavors); 1 box of Cytomax Gel; (2)
boxes of Muscle Milk Light bars (1 of each flavor).

P.S. If someone bites for $5K, I'll toss in an autographed issue of every 2008 Triathlete.
I'll have the cover dude/dudette sign it -- that includes Lieto,
McGlone, Potts, the Bennetts, etc. This may take a while, but I'll get
them to you.
Come on!
