Happy training (or offseason) for the week of 12/3.
End of Year Party: This is the final reminder for Friday's End of Year Party. We'll get started at 6:00 PM at the home of Shawn Hughes and Joanne Gilchrist, 1267 Orchard Way. The club will provide a catered dinner, and agenda items will include sponsor recognitions, board elections, and awards for volunteers of the year. We will also kick off the first order window for CTC gear from Green Layer and will have sample items embroidered with the CTC logo for review. Please contact Susan (marshallsm at yahoo dot com) if you have not RSVP'd but would like to attend.
CIM Marathon: Mitch Harrell and Jason Berry persevered through horrendous conditions in Sunday's CIM Marathon. Congratulations to you both for completing your first marathons. Results are available here.
CTC Training Camp at Lake Almanor: For those gearing up for Ironman Lake Tahoe, or for those that simply would like a change of scenery, CTC is hosting its first training camp this summer at Lake Almanor. Some very gracious people have offered the club use of their lakefront home for the week of August 4 through 11. Training activities in all three sports will be planned throughout the week for athletes of all abilities. More details will be provided as they become available. For now, please contact me (president@chicotriathlonclub.com) if you think you may be interested in attending for all or part of the time.
2013 Launch Party: While you have your calendar out, please note that CTC will hold its 4th Annual Launch Party on Thursday, February 28 at Fleet Feet. More details to follow.
Race Report: As mentioned in the last update, Justin Waller recently competed at Ironman Arizona. For those that may have missed it, his race report can be found here.
Wednesday Night Bike Workout: CTC members have once again been invited to participate in the Wednesday night training rides led by Mike Trowbridge. The rides depart from North Rim at 6:00 PM, weather permitting. The ride heads through the park to California Park, where different circuits are utilized for the various goals of the program. Lights are required, and the ride regroups after all segments, so all levels are welcome. Several CTC members are regulars on the ride, so get your lights and come on out.
Age Group Nationals Announced: USA Triathlon has finally announced that the 2013 and 2014 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships will be held in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The 2013 event is slated for Aug. 10-11. More information is available here.
