Hey TriGators!

We had our pre-race meeting tonight. If you could not make it, no

worries, you just have to go through this e-mail and make sure

everything is clear.

The Longleaf triathlon is going to be under a time trial format,

meaning that you are all going to start at different time, and,

thus, avoid the joy of the washing-machine swim start (Craig's

words :)...). So first timers, it will be better.

You will be able to pick up your race packets from 10 a.m. up to 1

p.m. and after 2 p.m. up to 5 p.m. on Saturday. On Sunday, you'll

be able to do so starting at 6:30 a.m.

The race will start at 8 a.m. More info on the Web site:

Saturday will be spent at the Riverside Inn hotel at New Port

Richey:

Alex Lechner will check in and out. So call her at this number:

(727) 244-8377, when you want to head over the hotel call her.

Also, another e-mail will be sent soon concerning the hotel rooms

you will be assigned to. Some other people will be hosted by Rich.

We will let you know who stays where in that same e-mail.

Car pool will be sent to you too in another e-mail. Please

remember to share the gas costs as well as the toll ones. Thank

you very much for your understanding.

New TriGators (and older ones too who forget their shoes or

swimsuit or helmet :p) have a look at Kelly's Check-up list to

make sure you have all the necessary racing materials. See the

enclosed document!

During this meeting, we also mentioned the upcoming Intramural

It's going to take place on Nov. 7. We need somebody to volunteer

to be the team captain though. Registrations should also be done

by Nov. 4. So please hurry up and get back to us, if you are

interested in the captain position and in racing it.

Finally, least but not last, we will need some people who would

like to volunteer some of their time to be part of the TriGator

Super Sprint Committee. The race will take place in March but we

obviously need to get ready for it. This is our main fundraiser of

the year and it is really important that this event keeps on being

successful. If you want to help us with that, please let me know

ASAP. It's definitely a very rewarding way to get involved for the

team :).

Any questions... please e-mail me :)

Thank you all for your time! Hope you are all going to have a

blast this weekend!! GO TRIGATORS!!! Go kick butts! Hehe!! And

most important of all... Have Fun and Enjoy!

Take care,

Jen
