Our Tri club has traditionally had a lot of members participate in the Rookie, Burnet Tri-Hard and Dam '09. We have talked about 'invading' one of the local Heart Of Texas (HOT) races at Fort Sam Houston. At the Rookie, we had 30+ members participate. We can do the same at one of the HOT races. The Runaway running store puts on a tri at Fort Sam every two weeks throughout the summer. This is a local, laid back, small race which is very spectator friendly. Our seven Sportslife members who competed in HOT #1 scored a lot of points for the club plus we got plenty of 'air time' with the announcer. The only club that was mentioned by name was Sportslife. The announcer even interviewed us to learn more about the club. We think it would be great to have a big group sign up for one of their upcoming races and want to target HOT #5 which takes place on August 3rd. The distances are 400m swim in a 50m pool, 12.5 miles on the bike and a 3.1 mile run. The event is limited to 100 participants.
Sign up using the link on their website if you haven't already and then notify me or the webmaster at triclub@satriclub.com so we can put your name our the Race Registration page.
