Hello Gators,In a couple of our member surveys, we had asked about your interest in participating on a triathlon relay team this season. It seems like we have some momentum and could field several teams for the Challenge Pocono Mountains event taking place on Sunday, August 16. We're now close enough to the event that we'd like to put our teams together. The event includes relay options for the Olympic (0.9mi swim/24.9mi bike/6.2mi run) and Half Ironman (1.2mi swim/56mi bike/13.1mi run) distances. If you participate, it will involve a 1-2 night hotel stay (Saturday at a minimum, maybe Friday as well). Here's a link to the event site... http://challenge-familyusa.com/challenge-pocono-mountains
This is open to all ability levels... The main goal is to get a lot of us there. From past relays in which I've participated, I can tell you that they are a lot of fun!
Pricing is as follows:Olympic:Up to July 1: $235/teamJuly 2-August 1: $240/teamAugust 2-Race Day: $250/teamHalf:Up to July 1: $325/teamJuly 2-August 1: $335/teamAugust 2-Race Day: $350/team
If you are interested in participating, please reply back with the following..."Yes", I'm interested."I have a team (or partial team) that includes... (list two or three names)" OR "I'm a free agent... put me on a team!"Name the event in which you want to participate... Olympic, Half Distance, or either.Name all legs in which you'd be open to participating.
Let me know if you have any questions.
PS - Note that this event is one week after the Steelman Triathlon in which many of us will be participating. It's also three weeks after Ironman Lake Placid.
PS 2 - Dave Marine has expressed interest in participating in the Challenge Atlantic City event (Sunday, June 28) as part of a Half or Full distance relay team as the swimmer or cyclist. If you are interested, please reply back or contact Dave. Note that if Dave is your swimmer, you will be really close to the front after the swim! :)
