Happy training for the week of 5/13.
Racing Season is Heating Up: CTC was spotted on the podium quite a few times down at Folsom Lake this weekend. Greg Watkins, Jason Berry, Becky Hutchison, Al Masterson, and Tammie Watkins all raced at Saturday's hot and hilly Folsom Lake International Triathlon while Laura Van Dervoort competed in Sunday's Mother's Day Duathlon. Results for both events have been posted to the Results page of the website.
Thirsty Third Thursday Track Workout: In an effort to foster more informal gathering and socialization among club members, the third Thursday of the month has been designated Thirsty Third Thursday at the Track Workout. After the workout, we'll head over to El Patron for some post workout recovery food and drink. El Patron is a Mexican restaurant in the Safeway shopping center across from PV High School (at the west end near the gas pumps). It's an "order at the counter" type of place and should make for a nice, informal post workout gathering place. For those that can't make the track workout and still want to get together, just meet us there sometime between 6:45 and 7:00 PM. We'll kick it off this Thursday, 5/16, so mark your calendars now.
Uniforms: This year’s uniform order is set to arrive any day. Pick-up will be coordinated by Sean Molina, so if you placed an order, you should receive a direct email from him soon. If you missed the window on this year’s order and are interested in a tri suit or cycling kit, please contact Sean (training@chicotriathlonclub.com) and let him know. Reorders can be made for as few as five pieces, so once there’s enough interest, we can open another order window.
CTC Support of the Black Butte Triathlons: CTC has taken on the responsibility of supplying volunteers for both day's events: the MTB triathlons on Saturday June 8 and the Road triathlons on Sunday June 9. All club members are encouraged to come out and volunteer on the day you're not racing, and maybe even early or late on the day you are racing. CTC has taken on other responsibilities as well, and the club is working hard to make our "home town" race a premier event in Northern California. The club's efforts are being coordinated by Shawn Hughes, so look for future communications from Shawn about what we can do to support the event. If you'd like to take a more active role in the process or have any questions, contact Shawn directly at sponsorship@chicotriathlonclub.com.
Next General Meeting: Mark your calendars now for Saturday June 15 at 2:00 PM when CTC will host its next general membership meeting. More details to come.
Monday Fun Run on Temporary Hiatus: We have a new leader lined up for the Monday Fun Run, but she can't start until after Memorial Day, so for now, the Monday Fun Run (5:45 PM at One Mile) is leaderless and is on hiatus. If you plan to run those evenings would like to lead the run for a few weeks, please contact president@chicotriathlonclub.com (or reply to this email).
CTC Club Discount for USA Productions Races: CTC Members have been offered a 15% discount for all remaining 2013 USA Productions races. Contact president@chicotriathlonclub.com (or reply to this email) to request the discount code.
