NEW POST January 11, 2012
Our Trip Continues in South Carolina and Georgia before we head to Charleston, SC Marathon and 100K Bike Tour. While in Columbia, South Carolina we helped man the registration table at the Harbison 50K – this was a great way to meet each runner in person and give them a pack of Try Chips to TRY! We traded race director Dan Hartley our services and Try Chips for everyone in exchange for letting Jackie and Tim run the event as a team.
We ran the 50K (25K each) Jackie ran it in 3 hours and 4 minutes – Tim ran it it in 3 hours 24 minutes. (Total TRY TEAM TIME 6:28) – Sure was a fun day meeting new Try Chips TRYBE members – hearing their stories of TRY and connecting with folks who understand what TRY is all about!
Our trip is all about TRYING to be sustainable – so we are camping for about 90% of the trip and making our own camp cooked foods. The first night was a bit cold (28 degrees) so instead of pitching our tent since we got in so late.. we just rolled out the 
sleeping bags and slept in the Jerry mobile.
Jackie has been doing a bang up job on sampling our Try Chips at the Earth Fare stores. Usually what happens is Tim works in the Earth Fare cafe responding to e-mails and doing our posts and Jackie samples to customers who come into the store. At the Columbia Earth Fare store Jackie sold out the entire stock of Try Chips the store had in less than an hour.
POST #1
Starting January 3rd Tim and Jackie from Try Chips hit the road in our Try Chips Mobile and Wagon (Actually we took Jerry’s mobile and left the Try Chips mobile at home as it would not pull the wagon)
First stop Asheville, NC to visit with Earth Fare stores who now carry our Try Chips and meet with some new and old friends while in town.
Our first stop on the trip was to meet with our new friends at Chi Living. Danny and Katherine are the creators of the Chi Running method and have really saved Tim’s knees for sure 
when he runs. We are big fans and so nice to meet a couple who work together to make the world a better place to TRY!
We were so excited to meet with them, laugh a little and get to talk more with Gordon their new company strategist.
Our next stop brought us to two Earth Fare stores in Asheville, NC where Jackie spent a few hours handing out samples and letting folks who came to the store know more about all the great attributes of Try Chips!
We then stopped in to see our good friends at Fast Pivot http://www.fastpivot.com/ – Matt, Daphne and Jonathan who helped us build our Try Chips online store. They rock and help us get Try Chips to all our TRYBE (tribe) members in a fast and efficient way!
Our last day in Asheville brought a little challenge as we could not get the wagon back on the Jerry Mobile… As strong as Jackie is we had to turn to the other Jack to get the hitch up high enough to move on to Columbia SC.
This was our second challenge with the wagon as in Virginia we needed to stop and get new tires for it. We sure miss the Try Chips mobile, but the wagon has way more room!
