GoGirl Talk

June 27-28 - The GoGirl Team introduced our awesome product to the GBLT community this weekend at the Twin Cities Pride Festival and marched in the Pride Parade.  What a fun weekend for one and all.

Go Girls Vilai, Karin, Sandy, Beth, Shelby, Stephanie, Julie, Katie and Jana held down the fort at our booth in Loring Park and GoGirls Sarah, Cydney, Katie, Brittney and Katie H walked the parade route with our Mini-- a great crew!

We loved meeting people, sharing laughs, and enjoying the spectacle.  What a hoot!

June 27- It started out as a stormy and foreboding morning, but in the end the weather broke and the GoGirl team had a great race at the Croixathlon, sprint triathlon, in Hudson, WI.  Go Girls Molly, Naomi and Nikki did a team relay.  They all did very well on their respective legs and finished the race with style running across the finish line as a team.

GoGirl Jenny did the race as an individual.  It was her first triathlon, and her megawatt smile told a story of how much fun she had on the course.  We are all so proud of her!!

Finally, the GoGirl gift basket was awarded to Kari Willey Chien, a Croixathlon volunteer who went above and beyond as a race volunteer.  She helped set the course on Friday and was there from sun up to race's end on Saturday.  The GoGirls singled her our for her enthusiasm, smart thinking and overall cuteness!  Rock on Kari, we hope you like the GoGirls and GoGirl Product.

June 22-  A team of six lucky GoGirls headed north for our first official outdoor music fest; the Moondance Jammin' Country Fest.  GoGirls Sandy, Cheryl, Cydney, Jennalee, Britney, and Katie braved clouds, rain and sun to bring the best FUD around up to Walker, MN.

The GoGirls had a lot of fun meeting with people. They sold a ton of our fun GoGirl Tshirts and make friends will all the vendors and  even did a radio show! 

June 20, 2009- The GoGirl team was the buzz of the Health and Wellness packet pick up expo at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN.  This was our first trip to the shores of Lake Superior and based on the warm welcome of the crowd, it won't be our last.

GoGirls Linda, Karin, Vilai, Stephanie and Shelby enjoyed talking to women from all over the world and they spent time networking with the other great vendors, too.  Reports also say that every GoGirl bought a new pair of running shoes at the expo, so it appears that our GoGirl team is gearing up for upcoming races and runs!

Running Superstar Carrie Tollefson  stopped by and posed with GoGirl.  That's a feather in our cap!  We will add photos as soon as we can.

More from the tour when GoGirl team 2 reports on their weekend in Walker, MN at Moondance Jammin' Country Fest.  Woohoo, we're everywhere!

June 18, 2009 - If you are a triathlete at any level and you are registered for the YWCA all-womens tri in Minneapolis, please contact amy@go-girl.com.  We are looking for a few more teammates for our GoGirl team on August 16th.  We will provide you with a racing tank and a free GoGirl if you are willing to use GoGirl before the race and talk to other women about if approached.  The more the merrier!

June 10-15  The GoGirls jumped into the world of competitive bike racing this past week setting up booths at Expos associated with the Nature Valley Grand Prix Bike Races.  The races, with dramatically varying courses, were staged in Saint Paul, Cannon Falls, Minneapolis, Mankato and Stillwater.  Each venue had different crowds and the GoGirl team mingled with all sorts of people.

The women's races were incredible and awe-inspiring.  It was very fun to have these powerful, active and gutsy women come check out our product and make several purchases after they were done kicking some cycling butt.

The bike world still seems to skew a bit male, but that proved to be a non-issue for the GoGirls.  More than ever before, men were interested in the product and may have purchased as many GoGirls as the women did.  It was a great reminder that everyone we meet is a potential GoGirl enthusiast.  The cycling guys want their moms, sisters, wives, friends and girlfriends to have all the advantages they have.  Cool stuff!

GoGirls Karin, Katie, Amy, Beth, Sarah, Stephanie, Jana, Peggy, and Molly covered the events and it's safe to say we had a BLAST!

June 7, 2009 - Who has fun and draws a crowd even in the light rain, overcast skies and chilly temps?  GOGIRL!  Yes, that's right, GoGirl made its mark on Saint Paul's longstanding official rite of Summer; Grand Old Day.

We had great sales, great conversations and, as always, we made great connections.  And it's true we did all of that wearing stocking caps and mittens .....in June.

Thanks to Go Girls Jana, Karin, Amy, Jenny, Molly, Jessica, Katie and Sarah for such a fun day.  (and props to our daughters and advocates; Mini GoGirl Kyra and 'Tween GoGirl Emma.)

June 6, 2009 - If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then we suggest you take a minute to look at our flicker feed for photos of the fabulous GoGirl night at the Saint Paul Saints game on Friday night.  What a great time. 

Look for GoGirls at Saints games throughout the summer. If you see a woman in a GoGirl shirt, she will probably have a temp tattoo on hand.  Just ask and you, too, can sport the "Don't Take Life Sitting Down" motto!

June 3, 2009- In case you haven't heard, this Friday it's time to take part in an old fashioned American tradition --updated for the convenience of women!  Yes, it's "Standing Room Only... (in the Bathroom)" night, a Saint Paul Saints minor league baseball game sponsored by GOGIRL!

The GoGirl Team will be at the game in force, talking to women about GoGirl and the freedom it gives us, selling GoGirl at a discounted price and, of course, partaking in the legendary "FUN is GOOD" activites. 

The GoGirls are taking it one step further, too.  The Saints have an infamous shortage of women's restrooms.  So on Friday, GoGirl Sarah will storm the field in the Mini Cooper and attempt to find celebrity support to help her stage a coup and take over one of the men's bathrooms for the entire game!

There are still seats available, so come early and get your tickets.  If you convince us you are a "SuperFan" of our product, we'll give you a GoGirl Tshirt!

We're already in the outfield!

We are very excited over at GoGirl to share the first post in our GoGirl Story Series.  We are calling for all you lovely ladies to share your GoGirl stories with us: times when you needed us, thought of us, or used us.  Email us at info@go-girl.com to participate.  We will post a new story each week or so and the person submitting will get a free GoGirl for sharing.

Enjoy Colleen's GoGirl Story: 
       
I was training for a full marathon, and decided to make a pit stop at a convenient port-a-potty on my route.  This particular port-a-potty is located on a golf course.  As I ran towards it I noticed to older gentleman getting ready to play a round of golf.  I sat down on the port-a-potty and noticed a spider hanging near the door.  (I hate spiders!!). I kept my eye on the spider and thought to myself he is little, I know he is there, I am ok.  I finished up my business and grabbed toliet paper to wipe off.  When I went to wipe off, to my horror I had a huge spider with his legs stretched between my legs just sitting there.  I threw the toliet paper at it, screamed and in one smooth moved hit the handle of the porta-potty door and bolted out, screaming the whole way with my pants down around my upper legs.  Needless to say the guys ready to tee off got a show of my naked body jumping from the port-a-potty.  I was so afraid the spider was hiding in my shorts, I could hardly run.  I cut my run short, ran home fast and took a shower.  Yucky!!!!!
       
Thanks for sharing Colleen and your free GoGirl is enroute.  We will totally have your back the next time you encounter an icky port-a-potty or a nasty spider.
