Focus: if I tell you, you might not come! : )
The July edition of the 2009 Splash and Dash Race Series is rapidly approaching. Race night is Thursday, July 9th at 6pm!
We have a few adjustments/announcements for this race:
First, there has been a lot of demand for a "Open Water Swim" only category. So we have caved to all the non-runners and you will be able to participate in only a swim race. You should simply register for the race in the manner and inform race officials at packet pick up.
Second, we are going to change the direction of the swim course as a test to see if this will alleviate a tough to navigate setting sun.
Three, PARKING. Please be aware that if you park anywhere near the park and your tires are over the white line on the road the Santa Clara Sheriff's Department will consider you to be parked in the road and will ticket you.
You can save money by registering before July 1st. So head on over to active.com to get signed up now.
Thanks, we look forward to seeing you on race day.
If you did not receive a note from me moments ago regarding a club order for Rocket Science Sports Elite transition bags, and you are interested in more details about the order ... please send me a note and I'll send you more info. The note was sent only to those that had previously expressed interest in the bag.

Just a quick note to let you know what is happening regarding last week's race.
First, let me apologize personally. After talking to the race director numerous times, I felt comfortable that he had a good shot at putting on a good race. I passed on that encouragement to the club and the board. All I can say is that amongst people in the local tri community, the best advice was given to the new race director. It clearly wasn't listened to.
I'm talking with the RD and passing on the comments from the discussion group. I would encourage you to also offer up your opinions directly to him. As many people already said, this race has a great history, and being the only major race in our backyard, we deserve much better.
I'll do, as
will SVTC, everything we can to make sure that happens.
Have a great training weekend, and see everyone at the next club meeting! Mike
Actually, we already have a $15 discount code posted in the members only section of the NEW website. The one below looks like it was meant for the Golden Gate Tri Club code. But I assume both are good and will work, so members can use either one to get the $15 discount.
To Mike's point ... get moving if you plan to do the race!
