Course Map :
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/LV-Triathlon-Club-Mini-Tri-2-Course

Hey everyone this is it the last “mini” sprint distance triathlon of the season. We will also be repeating the kid’s event following the sprint.

For those of you who are considering club membership - we do three of the these training events a year + a duathlon all are free to members and family members.

Our timekeepers have been tracking everyone during the season and we will be recognizing the top participants in the future – so if you are in the running keep it up. I will post the standings prior to the race.

Distances: 500 yard swim – 12 mile bike – 3 mile run
Kids: 100 yard swim – 2 mile bike – 1 mile run

Start time: 8 am for the race
Check In: 7:00 -7:30 am
Kids Event: 9:30 am

The Kids Tri was a great event last time all of the kids had at least one parent in the sprint race. We encourage parents to support their kids by cheering and accompanying them during the event if they wish to. There are no rules about pacing or anything of that nature – it is about having fun as a family and being safe.

Planet Hollywood recognizes Victor R.

Hello everyone: I was floored when I recieved the letter of recognition from the USAT. I'm proud to say I was honorable mentioned in my AG, something I never expected. My employer, Planet Hollywood, published this piece in the hotel newsletter. PH is thinking of sponsoring me next season but, they way the economy is at present, it might be a year later. Regardless, I'm flattered by this award. I'd like to recognize all of my training partners who, over the last few years, endured numerous hours of training along side of me. I love the sport of triathlon, one that has brought me many hours and days of pain and suffering as well as happiness and health!!!................Thank you all...........Victor

Adjusted times from participant feedback

Become a USA Triathlon Official: Dave Carlson

Here is something to think about - Nick and I are USAT officials. We took the training and work a couple of races here during the year. It is just another way we give back and support the local triathon community. We have the opportunity to see the race and the set-up from the inside and I feel my presents sometimes makes the race safer because we can make recommendations to the race director. Not all races have officials - it is not a requirement but those that do are generally the more professionally done and safer races in my opinion.

To become a USA Triathlon official, one must participate in one of the many clinics held around the country each year. There is no charge for attending a clinic. One must be a member of USA Triathlon and bring the membership card or join at the clinic.

Clinics are held in conjunction with a sanctioned event, and will have USA Triathlon officials assigned to marshal the race. The Officials Certification Clinic consists of about three hours of classroom lecture and discussion. Each clinic has a limited number of spaces and applicants are urged to contact the clinic instructor to reserve a space early. The SW Region has the following clinics open for registration:

Saturday, October 24, 2009 (afternoon) Practicum Race: SOMA Triathlon (10/25/2009)

Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009 (Noon- 3pm) Practicum Race: Silverman Triathlon (Nov. 8, 2009)

Clinic participants are expected to attend the lecture and work following day at the associated practicum race. You must be able to participate in both the lecture and the race in order to attend the clinic.

To sign up for a USAT Officials clinic, please contact Shelly Lydon at Lydon@peoplepc.com.

Thank you for your interest.

National Qualifiers - We can do better.

I recieved a letter from a long time club member and veteran triathlete - I think they raise a good point. We as a club could do a better job. Thank you.

"I have an observation/question. As one of the original members of this tri club back in 2003 my one singular complaint has been about the lack of awareness of local and out of town races, particularly for those that are qualifiers for national or international competition.

This weekend was another good example. There was a race a Lake Las Vegas (I think it was at least on the calendar) - one of Keith's Sunsetracing.com races that was a national qualifier for the Amica series in Phoenix in November.

In this case the top 10 from each age group could have competed in at least some sort of national championship. I don't recall seeing anything on the website and only saw a few triclub uniforms at the race.

I have competed in 2 World Ironman Championships, 2 Clearwater 70.3 Championships, 2 USAT National Championships and this year the World Age Group in Australia next month.

I doubt most club members even know how to go about qualifying. I feel more of a calling to increase the awareness of opportunities to members in the US and worldwide, both individually and as a tri club team.

I never did understand why we had the Club National Championships in our home last year and we apparently didn't register as a team?

As a fellow national and world traveler I am sure you can appreciate the experience these opportunities provide for the individuals and team. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion and let me know how I can help."
