Track Workouts Kickoff Thursday March 13th

Hello CTCers,

With Spring only two weeks away, daylight savings this Sunday, and some of the year's first triathlon races right around-the-corner, it is time to "kick-off" the CTC Track Workouts on Thursday March 13, 5:45 PM at the PV High School track. Early next week I will send out detailed information about the time frames of each aspect of the workout and what those elements entail. There will be links to many YouTube videos that demonstrate the drills we'll be offering, and recommended stretch routines.

I would highly encourage all levels of runners to come out and benefit from this low-key and fun workout session. I promise you you'll enjoy the company, camaraderie, and encouragement from some really neat folks :) You are more than welcome to do your own workout, or you could ask me for one.

So here you go people!...the smell of a big, green, sunny, grass field with warm-gentle breezes, the energized voices of some very motivated and healthy people in movement, moving that much closer to their athletic goals and dreams. And remember, you don't have to kill yourself to benefit from the track. Even if you just did the Warm-Up/Stretch/Drills portions and then brought out your best "running self" for a couple of laps around the track, you'd benefit greatly...I promise! :)

You get in, get out, and you GET BETTER!...a very high value workout indeed!

Online Uniform Store Now Open!

Hello CTCers,

The Champion-System Online Store is now open to take your orders for custom CTC clothing items! There are some really exciting new options this year in addition to the usual triathlon and cycling kit offerings. Now you can shop from a full range of performance running gear and casual wear (hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, long sleeve technical shirts, caps and more). How cool would it be to show-up at the local running races in a CTC branded performance running singlet or shirt?!

Before going to the store, please read the following important notes:

To see product descriptions, and to compare price and quality of different models (i.e., there are 4 different types of Tri-Tops and Tri-Shorts) go to the website champ-sys.com, choose "USA," then pick a sport (Cycling, Triathlon, Running, or Casual), then click the "SHOP OUR RETAIL COLLECTION" link (not the Custom Clothing Login). It is in the retail store that you will get detailed information about products you might be interested in ordering from the CTC Custom Store (ordering). Take notes about which items that interest you, so you can refer to them when you go to 'Custom Clothing Login' button and begin ordering from the Custom CTC Store.

The pricing from the retail store will be different from that which will be in the Custom CTC Store. Items you buy from in the CTC store will run about $5 to $15 more than the generic retail items to cover the costs of having a custom club store and all the advantages that entails.

1. Go to champ-sys.com, select U.S., then select 'Triathlon', then click on the 'Custom Clothing Login' button, which is on the upper right.

2. In the "CS DIRECT MEMBER LOGIN use the following to get started -- Login: chicotriclub -- the password: ctc1
3. Next you will be prompted to create your own account using a new email and password personal to you. Then login again using your new email/password information.
4. Once this is complete you can order from the shopping cart.

IMPORTANT! After the cart closes no modifications can be made to the order as it will be sent to production. PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST 'CHECK OUT' WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED ORDERING; ANY 'SAVED' ORDERS WILL NOT BE PLACED WHEN THE CART CLOSES.

Please note that the order period will close on March 15, 2014.

If you have any problems or have any questions please use my personal e-mail at seanmolina3sport at yahoo dot com or call me at 891-0874.

Have fun!....yer gonna look sooooooo good in this stuff! :)
