You must be a member to participate in the event.
Bring a volunteer with you and earn extra raffle tickets.

LV Tri Club Kick Off: Victor R

On January 23rd, The Las Vegas Triathlon Club held it's annual kick-off social. We all gathered at the O'Aces Bar and Grill for some great food, drink and company. It was a chance to see everyone in different garb, hard to recognize anyone without their helmets and tri gear. The turnout was fantastic, Dave counted over 100 members, far higher count that previous years. Awards were handed out to volunteers for their hard work and dedication as well as title sponsors.

We'd like to thank O'Aces Bar and Grill for their fine food, hospitality and loyalty. Also Robin Lobato, DDS for his sponsorship and commitment to the club through thick and thin.

The Club has chosen the San Diego International triathlon as its "A" race once more. For the last few years, the SD Int has been the choice event for the club, great venue, fantastic weather and one of the more picturesque run course I've ever seen! We all gather on Sat night at a local eatery and enjoy a good, hearty carbo dinner. This year, Dave has to find an establishment that can handle a few more, as I see it, we will have the biggest turnout yet! So, with that in mind, sign up as soon as possible, this event sells out every year. I had a blast chatting with everyone, let's do it again!!!.....................Victor

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!!!!

Tri Club Party Video Invitation

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!!!
