We want to highlight our Bronze level sponsor TBF Racing
Athlete of the Month:
This month’s AOM is young Grant Harrell. Way to Go Grant!
Announcements:
This year’s Black Butte Triathlon was a huge success. We are thankful to all of the athletes that participated. A huge thank you for all of the volunteers. We couldn’t do this without you.
Exchange Student:
There is a 15 year old exchange student looking for a family to host her in Chico. She is a triathlete and would love to be hosted in a family involved in triathlon. I don’t know if this student has found a host family yet. Reply to the email if you are interested and I can connect you.
Events:
SUMMER PARTY! This will be a pool party at Amigo’s house on July 22, 2023 from 2-6. Block off your calendar because this will be a blast. Please check your emails for this Evite.
Training:
Swims:
One Mile open water swims have resumed! Meet at 6:30-7:00 AM Fri AM’s on the Vallombrosa side of Sycamore Pool. Wetsuits optional but this is a great opportunity to practice wetsuit swimming.
The River Road TTs:
This takes place the first Thursday of every month through the summer. Meet where 5th street leaves town heading West and becomes River Road. Sign-ups start at about 5:30, first rider off at 6:01.
Worried you’re too slow? No, you’re not. You’re racing yourself, so it’ll be very close.
It’s a 10-mile course, out-and-back, wear helmets, and remember sunscreen and water.
CTC members often meet at Allies Pub afterwards; come join us!
