The 2018 Chico Tri Club Launch Party will take place Thursday Jan 25th at Fleet Feet. More details to follow. If you've ever considered doing a triathlon, or just want to learn more about the club, please come by. The event is free and open to the public.

To the Chico Tri Club Family:

I have passionately served as a member of the CTC Board of Directors for the past 8 years. During my tenure, my commitment to a plethora of committees have held my attention, including vice president, membership, retention, marketing, merchandise, organized volunteers, and sponsorship. I love encouraging all members especially those that are new to the sport. That’s probably how I got my nickname the CTC Cheerleader!

I love my CTC family, the comradery, and the lifestyle. I enjoy setting goals and meeting the challenges of training and competing in a race. I entered my first triathlon 8 years ago. During that time, I have placed in my age group, finished dead last, been disqualified, and experienced the dreaded DNF. Swimming was particularly challenging, as I did not learn to swim until I was an adult. As a child, I occasionally road my bike and ran. My first competition was a sprint triathlon, City of Gold in Oroville, which I embraced whole heartedly, even though I had very little training. While in the water, I suffered a panic attack and pulled my wetsuit half way down to my waist. But that being said I did finish the race and signed up for many more. Since that time, I have embraced this challenge, gained strength, and improved of my stroke. As a result, I completed my first IRONMAN in Arizona 2015, which was a DNF, 55 seconds shy of the swim cut off. I was devastated but signed up the very next morning for the following year. My second attempt in 2016 I finished the whole 140.6 miles!!! The support, expertise, suggestions and passion I have received from my CTC family has been immeasurable! I couldn’t have done it without all you!

I respectfully request your support in allowing me to serve another term on the CTC Board of Directors, as I continue to encourage others, give back to the club, community and live this amazing life of a Triathlete!!! 

I have served on the Chico Triathlon Club board for almost (4) years now and have been happy to see the progression that we have made during that time.  From my first start on the CTC board, I was elected to the Treasurer position and have served in that capacity since that time.  During my tenure I have performed the required duties as the Treasurer (filing taxes, balancing accounts, annual reports, etc.), initiate and spearhead the 'CTC Race Reimbursement Program', and serve on other various side committees in order to support the club. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment and the team camaraderie in serving on the board and would enjoy continuing to do so.

Thank you,

Jason Berry
