Happy training for the week of 6/10.

Black Butte Triathlons:  CTC showed up big time at the Black Butte Triathlons over the weekend, both on the race course and behind the scenes.  Thanks go out to the many, many club members that helped with the planning and volunteered on either or both days.  The race director has expressed his sincere gratitude for the support provided by the club.  Results for club members have been posted to the Results page of the website.  Please let me know of any corrections or omissions.

General Meeting on Saturday: CTC's next general membership meeting will take place on Saturday June 15 at 2:00 PM at the home of Sean and Forough Molina, 715 Parkwood Drive in Chico.  We'll gather to talk about everyone's race at Black Butte, of course, but will also have a presentation from Dr. Gloria Petruzzelli on the mental aspects of triathlon.  Food and beverages will be provided by the club.  Please direct any questions about the meeting to Sean Molina (training@chicotriathlonclub.com).

Uniforms:  A new order window has opened for CTC Tri-Suits & Cycling Kits.  The store will remain open for 7 days, which means it will close on June 18, (at midnight). Keeping the store open for 7 days allows us to receive the items by August 10th (as opposed to 4 weeks later if we had a longer order window). You can modify your order anytime up to the closing date.  So don't delay! You could be in uniform for some of the best racing on the calendar, including our club's longtime favorite, The Mount Shasta Tinman on September 1st.  Complete details, including a link to the Voler Store can be found here:  http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/chicotriathlonclub/message/4288

Mudskipper this Weekend:  The Mudskipper is a unique trail running / mountain biking adventure race at the Meadowbrook Ranch in Magalia.  The event takes place this Saturday, June 15th at 9:00 AM.  You can compete as an individual or as a team of two.  There are obstacles throughout the course and a mud pit at the finish line.  The event is put on by CTC Sponsor Beyond Fitness and Trailhead Adventures and benefits the Paradise Ridge Youth Soccer Club.  Contact Trailhead Adventures (877-6876) or John Touchette at Beyond Fitness (877-7500) for more information.

Next Club Race:  With many still basking in the glow of the Black Butte Triathlons, you might be wondering about the next club race.  That would be the TBF Racing's Tri For Fun, which takes place Saturday July 13th.  More details to come.
