Each session will be about 1 hour with up to 6 participants.  Shaun Palmer, a club member, who does swimming instruction at the YMCA and DAHLC will review your stroke and provide suggestions for improvements.  This is not a detailed, in-depth swim clinic but rather a high level overview by a qualified instructor who is donating his time to the club.  Primary audience is beginner to intermediate swimmers.  Sign-up is first come, first served.  Once 6 is reached, the session will be full.  Please add a reply to the proper Discussion Forum entry with your name and email.  Shaun will contact you with further details if necessary.

Mayo Climb the Clinic

Congratulations to TriRochester Members Susan Griffee and Mario Minelli who were the overall individual winners of Mayo's stair climb race comprising 4 Mayo buildings and 64 floors!

TriRochester Kits + additional clothes

It's time to order TriRochester logo gear.  USAT rules (Article III, Rule 3.4.n) says you have to wear clothes at a race; you might as well look good and represent your club at the same time. We'll be ordering kits (tri top and/or tri shorts) and possibly a few other new items. All club members are encouraged to wear the uniform. It's a really cool thing to see our logos on athletes at races. Please help us by completing a survey about what you want to have. If you need multiple of an item, add that in the Comment Box at the bottom. For the "extra" items, there will be a minimum needed for us to place the order so feel free to encourage your fellow club members to place their orders too.  There is a turn-around time to make custom kits, so time is of the essence. In order to have these ready for the start of the season, we need your order information right away.

Intro to Triathlon Course - registration open

We teach an introduction to Triathlon course through Rochester Community Education.  This year the course will be held on April 12th at 6:30pm.  Registration is now available online.  If you are intersted, we encourage you to check it out.  Please pass this along to others you know who may be interested as well.

Club Races

Be on the lookout for the TriRochester tent at races this season.  We will set up the tent in an area convenient for both athletes and spectators. You can bring a chair or blanket, drop off your bag and then come hang out after you cross the finish line. Our plan is to have a “host” for the race, a person who is not racing who can help club members with race prep, getting results, and taking pictures.  We will start with Trinona, Rochesterfest, and Chisago and then decide what late-season races to send the tent to. If you can be a host for a particular race, please contact our membership coordinator, Pattie.

On the member survey last year we asked "In addition to our hometown RochesterFest race, what race you would like to see TriRochester have a club focus on?"  Two races got a lot of votes: Trinona and Chisago.  In light of that we are going to increase our presence and boost the club atmosphere at these races.  We are also planning to provide additional refreshments for the club after these races, so whether you are spectating or racing plan to come hang out afterward.

2012 Member Logo Gear

Okay, the 2012 member logo gear item is no longer TBD!

With our current selection, we have you covered from head to about knee.  So for this year, we complete the head-to-toe look with TriRochester Socks.  We are having custom woven cycling socks made with the club logo.  If you selected this for 2012, you'll get 2 pair!

Photo Contest Winner

Congratulations to Mike E for submitting this winning photo with 20+ TriRochester Logos! If you still have photos we can share on the website, feel free to send them in anytime.
