It’s noon, and our trainer, Jessica, has arrived. It’s time to stop whatever we’re doing, walk the few steps (it’s literally 50 steps) to the gym at the center of our HQ, and prepare to get our butts kicked.
Lunch workouts give us a chance to get to know each other without talking about work! It’s a great way to meet people from other departments I don’t work with on a daily basis. – Meagan, Marketing

Half marathoners found their sea legs (or is that land legs) on the course while 10K runners chanted our traditional siren song at the starting line. Kids put on their game faces at the Mermaid Dash while grown-ups got silly playing our favorite T9 sport: Bra Pong (yes, it’s a thing. See below). Whatever floats your boat, we had it going on.
And while many of us T9ers have been to multiple Mermaid races, still, every race brings something unique. Here are nine things we learned from hanging out with T9 Mermaid athletes:
