DSFC Resolution Classic 5K

The Tri-Dawgs will be hosting the 4th annual race January 1, 2013 at 1:00 PM.  Please encourage your family and friends to join us for a great time with loads of amenities. You can get race details and sign up here on Piranha's website. The race will benefit the Tri-Dawgs and the Mike Clark Legacy Foundation which is affiliated with the Boys and Girls Club. A flyer with details is attached. Please share with any other running clubs or groups you are affiliated with. Thanks

Silent Auction

In conjunction with the 5K we will be having a silent auction. We are approaching our sponsors for donations but I would also like to reach out to the Tri-Dawgs as well. If anyone works at or has an affiliation with someone that would be willing to donate something for the auction, please contact me. Our goal is to have 10-12 items. Don't forget this benefits the Tri-Dawgs and the Mike Clark Legacy Foundation. A flyer is attached is you need that.

New Info:  The deadline for ordering a team uniform for the 2013 season is December 20th.

Email Diane with your order today!  After the deadline, you will receive a confirmation message with your total and Carrie's address for mailing the check.

Trisuits are $100, shorts are $50, women's tops are $40 and men's tops are $50. Besides the fact that our uniforms look and feel awesome and identify you as a Tri-Dawg, they are less expensive than buying off the rack! Being a Tri-Dawg requires no annual membership dues; all we ask is that you purchase a uniform & race as a Tri-Dawg. And this is your only opportunity to order for the 2013 season!  Here is the sizing chart. The sizing on these uniforms runs true, so if you already know what size you generally wear in triathlon gear, stick with that! For trisuits, it is suggested that you order based on your shirt size, if shirt & shorts are different sizes.

Thanks!

There might be a record number of Dawgs doing either race in two weeks. If you are doing the race or just going up to cheer on others, send me an e-mail and if we have enough interest maybe we can do a little tailgating if the weather cooperates.

Uniform Update

Last week I emailed everyone who has given me an order for a team uniform this fall to see about postponing our Sugoi order.  Our new rep at Sugoi has agreed to accept an order from us at the end of the year at these lower-quantity levels.  While we do have enough orders to get shorts & men's tops, we fell short in women's tops & trisuits. I was concerned that ordering only shorts & men's tops now would mean that in January we wouldn't be able to meet the higher minimums and then we'd really be scr*w*d!  

So, this works out well. I will add any orders you send me between now and the end of December to the spreadsheet and I will let you know when to send Carrie a check. 

As a side note, if there is another item you would like to see us get (tri-dawg tights? bike jersey?) please start a discussion on FB or in the forum and we can see where it goes. For any NEW items, we would need to meet the higher minimum, so it might require some recruitment. : )

Thanks very much!

Lost Wetsuit

My name is Rebecca and  I competed in the Cape Henlopen tri.  Unfortunately, someone there ended up with my wetsuit.  I am pretty distraught because it wasn't very long ago that I purchased it.  I know there were some Tri-Dawg members racked near me.  I'm hoping to see if maybe someone accidentally grabbed the wrong wetsuit.

From Sean Dougherty

Sean is the Delaware Swim Team's program coordinator and head coach of the national team.

On Wednesday October 10th, I gave myself a "Clean Shave" and began this years " Mustaches for Kids" fundraiser! This program will raise money for "Supporting Kidds." Founded in 1989, Supporting Kidds is one of the first organizations in the country to address the unique needs of bereaved children. The mission of Supporting Kidds is to provide a compassionate pathway to healing for grieving children and their families, and to empower the community to support them in the grieving process.

Thanks to all of you who supported my effort last year! I finished 6th overall in fundraising, with over $1300.00 raised; AND.... earned the Charlie Hustle award! This award is presented to the fundraiser who "hustled" to spread the word about the foundation. This year I have been slow to the blocks, but plan to rally, and get myself to the top of the fundraising board. Over the course of the next 3 weeks I will continue to grow my "Stache," you can follow the links below to learn more, follow my progress, and/or make a contribution in support of my effort. 

I will be sending out periodic updates of my "Stache," and the progress to towards my goal of raising $750.00 for the cause. Of course, I would love to raise more money, but I'm getting a late start, so I'll do my best. Thanks, and please take a minute to look at the links below.

Ironman Hawaii World Championships

This was another amazing experience in such a beautiful setting. I wish everyone could experience the final two hours of the race as the crowds cheer in the final triathletes leading up to the midnight cutoff. It's one huge block party and celebration. Marianne and I had a great time with Lenny, Cindy, my son and daughter-in-law and grandaughter. Mike and Brian Welch and their wives joined us one evening for dinner and good times. I'll try to get some pictures up on the website within the next week. Marianne and Mike had stellar races in very challenging conditions. That course will push anyone's limits. Lenny, Cindy and I rode our bikes out on the run course after dark and it was a great experience being out there and watching the triathletes digging down with everything they had to finish the race. I believe there will be something on TV next Saturday.

Triathlon Camp Info

I was wondering if you could forward this email out to the group, I think a few people may be interested.  I am helping run a pretty cool 3-day swim camp out of Stanford University this December.  Specifically the dates are the 16th - 18th (arrival on the 15th) or the 20th - 22nd (arrival on the 19th).  The camp is all inclusive and geared towards triathletes and masters swimmers.  All you need to pay for in addition to the fee is your transportation costs to get to Stanford.  It is going to be a truly unique experience, here are some features:

• Get picked up at the air port and driven to your hotel by a member of the USA National Swim Team (In a mercedes Benz SL 500 if that matters to any car fanatics)
• Coaching is done by Stanford's Men's Swimming staff and USA National Team members
• Swim with the USA National Team members
• All swimming will be recorded with a Strokeview underwater recording system
• Get 1 on 1 video feed back from the coaches and take the DV:D with your swimming and their feedback home
• Expert clinics on nutrition, technique, injury prevention etc.
• Professional triathlete motivational speakers
• Massages included by Michael Phelps's personal masseuse 

Like I said, everything is included with the camp fee, apart from your travel expense to get to the camp.  If you want more information on pricing or the camps, you can email team@ezcoachingonline.com.  Feel free to forward this email if you think of someone that would be interested!  It will be an unforgettable experience for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

Spinning at DSFC

In the past DSFC Tri-Dawgs were allowed to take the Saturday morning spin class if there were bikes available for members. Going forward the class will only be open to members or those paying guest fees. If you are a Tri-Dawg and a DSFC member or you want to pay the guest fee you are free to take the class.

Team Uniform Order

It's time to place another Tri-Dawg uniform order. Please email Diane Arnold separately (diarnold@gmail.com) with your size & style order. 

Women's Fizz Tank -- $40

Men's RS shirt         -- $50 

Men's and 

women's RS short    -- $50. 

Trisuits                   -- $100.  

A couple of women have ordered the RS style top instead of the Fizz Tank, and that is certainly an option ($50). Just remember that there is no inner bra in the women's RS tops. 

Here again is the sizing chart. For sizing trisuits, use the RS top size as your guideline.

FAQ's (hopefully) answered:

Q. I didn't get a chance to try on the fit kit. Is it still around?

A. Sorry, no. I had to send it back. However, we learned that if you are on the edge in a size, you should order a size down for the Fizz tanks.  If you are unsure,ask a team mate to try theirs on. You really do want a tight fit.The Fizz should fit like a swimsuit. Hopefully the sizing chart will help you decide, too.  

Q. I am one size on top & another on bottom, so what's my tri suit size? 

A. Our Sugoi rep says, "For sizing the Tri suits, I recommend using the Tri tops as the ‘fit guide’ for those who are different size from top to bottom, go for the Top size over the bottom." 

Q. Is there a shorts length or padding choice? 

A. No. Unlike the Canari shorts, there is only one pad style, called the Trilite chamois, and one inseam size of 6". 

Q. Who do I pay? 

A. Make checks out to Carrie McGoldrick and send to: 2443 Linden Dr, Havertown, PA 19083-1651 

Q. When is the deadline? 

A. October 15 

Q. Can we order any other custom items? 

A. Not this time! This is considered a "reorder" of the first order placed this year. We can try to order something new with the new order in January, if we can get 24 people on board to meet the minimum!

If you have any other questions, please ask! Odds are, someone else has the same question, and our rep at Sugoi is very good at getting me quick responses.
