San Diego Tri - Club Event

The San Diego Triathlon is the only out-of-town major event that is on the club's calendar. As many of you know it is a great fun race. We get together for dinner on Saturday night and meet at the race finish to celebrate. We think is is a great weekend at a very reachable destination. The problem is the race fills up- registration has begun so get with it and have a great weekend in San Diego with us. The link is on the picture click on the guys photo to reach the registration site - don't wait!!!!

Club Update 12-11-2009

Hello Club Members –



The date and location have been set for the Triathlon Club’s season opener party – January 23, 2010 at the O Aces bar/restaurant. The club will provide the food with a no host bar – you will receive an Evite soon on that. (or check out triguy's post on the message board http://www.lvtriclub.com/tribb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1030&sid=615fbef9a765e11f1c595a6c13bfb2b4)



Sorry for the lack of communication recently. Our major effort over the last 30 days was to get the “join page” up and running. (we are almost there) That page required modification to handle a new club benefit with membership.

(Conceptual proof of last years jersey - 2010 will be the same with sponsor logo changes)
I don’t know if you were aware but the Board voted to provide every membership with a club cycling jersey. Yes that is right with every individual ($55) or family membership ($65) you will receive a Sugoi cycling jersey – pretty cool. We actually have to pay Sugoi approximately $50 per jersey. We have conserved the clubs funds and have received generous support from our club sponsors in the past and so we are in a position to do this. One of the important things that you will be responsible for is specifying your jersey size – if you have any concerns either try a Sugoi jersey on at a merchant or we will have some sizes available at the season opener party on January 23, 2010. We want to make you happy so please make sure you know your size. We will not be stocking gear to any extent this year – sign up by January 23, 2010 and we will make your jersey part of our first order. (If you want tri shorts, cycling shorts, or a racing top you must order them in advance as well – we are currently developing the procedures for that ).

We have tentative dates for all of the Club triathlons next year: March 7, 2010 - Duathlon (includes kids event); May 16, 2010 Sprint Triathlon (includes kids event); July 10, 2010 Sprint Triathlon (doesn’t not include kids event due to potential heat/health issues for them); October 3, 2010 Sprint Triathlon (includes kids event). All of our events are !!Free!! to all the membership - most events like this are $50-$90 per person - and don't feature Nick G - "The Voice of the Las Vegas Tri Club"

e-mail me with any questions or concerns – have a great holiday season!!

Silverman: by Dave C

I was a race official at the Silverman on race day so I got to see the race from a number of points of view. I don’t know everyone in the club now we have grown so much over the last couple of years but I recognize many, I was struck by how many club members were on the course as participants, volunteering as course workers directly for the race director and as volunteers at our aid station. Our community of triathletes and our club members are generous and engaged!!!


Our final club project was the aid station at the Silverman, which thanks to the efforts of many of you was a big success. Toni Repetti and Nick Gallager worked hard to get coverage for the station and kept things together on race day – thank you! We don’t do this at every race but not every race is an Ironman distance race that finishes in the dark and cold month of November. We are triathletes that understand and respect the punishment that these athletes are facing and I think that comes through as they approach our station hear their name and “what do you need”. Thanks everyone!!!

LV Tri Club Race #4 Results

It was a great day on the course. Here are the results - due to an error in the course setup the bike course was 9.5 miles instead of 12 so adjust your times accordingly if you want to normalize your performance over the series. The women dominated on this event finishing first and second - nice work ladies!

Thanks Volunteers and Board Members

The club members had a great day on the course and you made it possible. These things are hard to put on and it requires people like you who say “I will take responsibility you can count on me” to make it happen. We had a couple of glitches which are just part of the day. We handled them and moved on undistracted – that is what we do in our professional lives as responsible adults every day, and it shows when we put on an event. I can’t tell how delighted I am with the results you produce. It is an honor to work with you.

Aren’t those kids races fun.

We will have the results soon - Congratulations

Later,
Dave
