Hey guys!

Welcome to new people!
If you could not make it to the meeting tonight (bad!), here are the main points we went over.

First of all, we are going to volunteer for February 9th swim meet. We will be in charge of the timing (in case a problem was to occur with the regular pool timers) and we need 14 more people. The meetings usually last for 2 to 3 hours.

Second of all, bad news for Nationals??? the roster is FULL. It filled up 10 times faster than anticipated for Olympic distance race. BUT they are now offering spots for the Sunday sprint triathlon. Please check Alex???s e-mail. However, it doesn???t count for the collegiate division, but it is still a great time and experience. We will camp as we did last year, but the plan will be mentioned later.

We also talked about NUUN and Blue Seventy. The orders will be placed pretty soon ??? we will let you know ahead of time though. On a more serious note, we encountered a problem which could become bigger??? some people on the team mentioned on a public forum dedicated to triathletes that we were getting a 50% discount. I can understand that you are excited about it, and I should have made it very clear right away, but such comments can put into jeopardize the help we get from those companies. So please, DO NOT SPREAD THE WORD AROUND YOU THAT WE ARE GETTING X AMOUNT OF DISCOUNT. WE CAN LOOSE OUR SPONSORS. Sorry for being a bit harsh here, but the issues are pretty big. Thank you guys for your understanding ???

If you guys want to race for the Clermont Olympic Distance race please let Craig know by next Saturday.
We are still working on our Spring races since we encountered a few issues lately, but we are very probably going to race the Gainesville area sprint on March 9th. So if you want to race it, make sure your first week of spring break ??? let us know if interested in doing the race. Thanks!

If you ordered tee-shirts, we are going to bring them at the next meeting. There are only a very few extras??? 5 smalls, 5 mediums, 5 larges ($10 payable in cash or check (easier)).

Also the volunteer coordinators for the TriGators??? SuperSprint are going to be David Schofield and Jeffrey Parr. Kayla Kielar will be the bagel person (very important).

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding regarding the sponsors. I hope we count on you.

Have a good one and see you at practices!
