Hey, I am new to this post but I want to contribute into getting the
NECTC going.  I am currently trying to start a tri team at Boston
University.  In the mean time I think we should get together and race
in local races.  It sounds like everybody is eager to compete so lets
just start competing.  My proposal is to set up a few races in
different areas and compare times.  MIT already has a few races
listed, so I think everybody in the New England (at least the Boston
area) should all sign up for these races.

July 9th: Holliston (sprint)
Aug 13th: Lowell YMCA (Olympic: this looks new this year)
Sept. 3rd: Boston (sprint, yes, it is on again this year !)

To score individuals we should take the times of the top three men and
top two women.  Then we can add up all the scores to make a first
unofficial race season.  A placing system will be set up on times.
The scores will be based on place and not on time. I will be willing
to tally up the points and send off the final results if every team
sends me all the individual times. If we do get some unofficial
results I will talk to Shannon Votruba of USA triathlon about letting
us host a website for NECTC.

If these races are too far for you, I encourage other teams to set up
other races (maybe in the Penn/New Jersey area).  I will also be
willing to tally up those scores as well.  Note* we can only compare
scores from the same race.

Also, I heard about some talk of a NE Collegiate Tri Championship in
late September.  What is the deal with this and what will it take to
actually get it going?

Hey all,

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in getting together to talk about
our regional race possibilities at the New England Multi-Sport Expo.

http://www.newenglandmultisportexpo.com
<http://news.usatmembership.com/t?ctl=B342:B4ED2>

We had pretty good time a the Hammer Fest last year, but I'm definitely
interested in having real collegiate regional races here in NE. Even a
few universities willing to take initiative will be a good start. Let us
know.

K, Syracuse University Tri. Club

Hello Everyone,

My name is Victor Marwin and I just started a tri team here at the
University of Pennsylvania.  We just registered with the University
and
we're currently just getting the ball rolling with organizational
stuff
but we'd like to join the conference and get into some racing with
you
in the spring.  If there is anything offical that we need to do to
join
please contact me and let me know.  I appreciate any advice as well.
I
added my contact info to the database list.

Thanks very much,
Victor

It was really fun to see you all, and for those I missed at the race
site (esp. David & Catie), I am looking forward to seeing you at the
next race! (Nationals?)

It looked like we had a good number of athletes here in NE. I hope many
of you stay in school next year and we can put some effort to make the
regional happen!
--K

PS: Congrats to all the winners and finishers!
PS2: Could anyone upload the photos to the group site? (I didn't bring
my camera...) Thanks!

SU will have 4-6 people (including one relay) at Hammerfest.
We'll stay in Motel 6, following BU, unless we find a cheaper option.
See you all soon,

Hello Triatheltes!!!

Just wanted to let you know that Yale will be
representing at Hammerfest.  I think we will have 4-5
triathletes there.  Should be an exciting time.  See
you all on Sunday and good luck!!!

Happy Training!

Hey all, just wanted everyone to know that BU will be bringing 4 people and we
will be
staying at the Motel 6 in Branford.  I haven't heard much about communication
with the race
directors, but hopefully we can just have our spot at the registration table. 
We are simply
happy to go and get to know each other a little better.  If others are staying

Hope to

Dave,

Hi my name is Ian Sullivan.  I am new at UVM and would
like to race with you guys.  When are your meetings?
and what else do I need to know.

Thanks

we had a meeting tonight about it. Not all of the specifics have been
handled yet but UVM is plannning on coming down to the Hammerfest and
right now we have at least 6 racing and some of our other members
might come to just check things out. were real excited about the race,
and i agree with all the ideas everyone has talked about thus far.

I also appologize for not being more involved but yahoo was giving me
some problems. Anyway, just so you all know, there are a bunch of us
at Yale who are definately planning to do Hammerfest, so we will be
represented to some degree - and I think it is a great idea to just
ask the people at registration if we can just informally announce that
there are collegiate teams represented and see if we can just get a
verbal recognition of awards. Also, maybe we could get a list of names
of people from each team or a meeting place or something so when we
get to the race it will be easier for all of us to meet up and
introduce ourselves :). I wouldn't mind giving out my cell either.

   As for the prerace dinner...I would love to host that - but that was
only if we were going to do the Duxbury tri - my parents live in MA
and it might be kind of a stretch :). But I'm sure we could work
something out for a cheap prerace dinner in New Haven! Talk to you all
soon.

That is more or less what we wanted to do, except that
if we had a "good" number, we could convince USAT to make it
official and to support the organizer (with medals or trophies, etc.)

Anyway, SU will be still there (don't know how many, yet), so
hopefully, I will see you many of you there.

Is Catie still up for hosting a pre-race dinner? :)

Sorry I've been completely MIA, work and travel and shtuff...

I honestly think that we should still do hammerfest this september, just get
everyone
together for one night and one race to see faces and meet new people, it really
doesn't
matter how many show up, if the 4 or 5 teams that have been gung-ho about this
get
together, thats some pretty power right there. Maybe we can stay at the same
hotel and
converse the night before.  At that point we can open our big shining eyes and
look into
the distance, and dream.  As far as response from schools, I can't even estimate
how many
people from my school are going since school hasn't started yet, after that, I
think we can
get a better estimate.  I don't remember who was in contact with the people at
hammerfest, but will registration stay open, do they think they are going to
sell out? Could
they reserve a set number of spots for us, and we can probably just ask to sit
at the
registration table and write down the numbers of participants in the collegiate
section and
ask if they can make up some sort of prize like other age-groupers.

Hey Josh, I actually know a couple of guys at Yale that are into triahtlons, and
I thought
there was a small club, its probably that they don't get the publicty, a major
problem at
big schools, search for Peter Chui and just tell him I sent you his way,
otherwise I can give
him your email address.  Congrats on Lake Placid, I looked was looking at the
course
profiles, and it look quite tough.  Maybe see you around...

Whether formal or not i think we should all pick a race and try to
meet up at it. We don't neccessarily have to have a special
Collegiate division with awards and all that stuff but i think we
should define a race this fall that everyone try to attend. UVM is
down to try and go to any of the races people were voting on and it
would be nice to meet some kids from other schools who are doing the
same stuff we are doing. We can call it the championships but i
personally have no expectations in terms of formality of the race.

Spring training weekend sounds like a good idea.
Especially, if we can have it a month or so before the Nationals. (The
nationals has been in mid April.)

Regional race *series* should be an ultimate goal (there's one in the
west coast. why not in the east??), but I am wondering how long will be
our "season" intersecting the school semesters. In my area the earilest
race is in mid June and the last one is in the mid Sept. (Finger Lakes),
which means September is the only month we can do the race locally
during the semester!

Hello All:

My suggestion would be to spend the winter getting the group organized.
Maybe plan a social event, like a spring training weekend or something fun.
Once the interest is there, focus on a championship race or series.  I think
you might have more success with a 3-4 race series that takes place in both
spring and fall.

I'm wondering if other leaders have any intention
to actually make the regional happen.

We have only a month or so left, and I had only
few responces!

Have other leaders got any responces from their
club members/local collegiates?

Let us know if you have any idea to spread the
words about the event and draw the attention of
collegiates in NE.

Otherwise, it will be the same as the last year...

Kinoue,

I agree with you that I think the definitions should
encompass both undergraduate and graduate full-time
students with no age limitation and no uniform
requirement.  I am really very excited about unifying
colleagiate triathlon teams and I think this is a
great way to do it.

Those are my two cents.

Happy Training!
:) Josh

Okay, I admit I am checking the group website every 5 minutes to see
if there is any new
member.

Some people asked me (quite reasonably) the definition of
"collegiate".

Following the Collegiate Nationals, I propose "full-time
college/univerisy (grad or
undergrad) student",  with no age-limitation (that may kick me out...
that's ok, though)
and no uniform requirement.

Please let us know your opinion. Thanks!

Scott,

I am very excited about organzing regional university triathlon clubs.
  What a great idea!!  Currently, I am a fourth year graduate student
at Yale University.  We currently do not have a university Triclub.  I
am a member of a local triathlon club (www.shorelinesharks.com) called
the Shoreline Sharks.  Any way, I was wondering what is involved in
starting up a triathlon club at my University and if you could give me
any pointers?

Thanks,
Josh Hunsberger

PS I won't be able to race in Hammerfest this season.  I just
completed Ironman Lake Placid (my first ironman) and I'm working on
balencing out my life now and easing back on trianing and triathlons.
   Till next season.....

Thank you for the message, Scott.

As for database, Russ has created a contact list table,
which may serve as our roster.

As for other database we can probably share the event calendar,
so that we can see races that other teams will participate?

Hello to all memebers of this group. My name is Scott Willett and I
coach the NYU TRICLUB at New York University in Manhattan. It is
great that we are finally seeing some interest in organizing
regional university triathlon clubs. The NYU TRICLUB has been in
exixtence since I came to NYu as a transfer student in 1984, so we
have been around the block a few times.

Our club comprises students, staff, faculty and alumni. We generaly
participate in 4-6 local races each summer, and have been to
Hammerfest before. It was a good event and would recommend it for
all interested. Our challenge with partcipation this year is
twofold. We have a group training for a half in Long Island, and our
returning students are generally not allowed to start practising
until after physicals/roster approval and this usually means mid-
September at earliest.

I will try to get Hammerfest on our schedule.

Can we set up a database to get a sense of the nature of each
University Club - number of student (+ other) participants, races on
schedule, training facilities, training schedule (what you do each
week/month) etc?

I hope you are all having a great summer.

We (MIT) are interested in Hammerfest also.  I'll have to talk it up
to the club and see how many people would be willing to go.  I'd also
be interested in details on the logistics of this thing, as they
become available.
