Hi team,
This is a last call to sign up for the Buzzard's Bay race on Sunday, September 20 (our only race this fall)! We need to have all registrations done by this coming Monday because we are starting to work on hotel and bus reservations. Please let me know if you register so you can be added to the roster.
Have a good end of the summer. See you in a few days!
Abiah

The preliminary deadline is Sept 7, but if you don't think you can get registered by then please send me an email so we know you are interested!
Thanks,

Hi Team!
I know many of you aren’t yet back on campus and haven’t started thinking about school or triathlons, but we’re super excited about the upcoming season and it’s time to start registering for the first race!!
The first and only race of the fall season will be BUZZARD'S BAY on Sunday, 9/20.
- Sprint distance (1/3 mile swim; 14 mile bike; 3.1 mile run)
- Date: drive down Saturday, Sept 19; race on Sunday, Sept 20. (First weekend of 15F).
- Location: Westport, MA (South of Boston, ~3 hours from Hanover)
- Part of the NECTC season (This means that racing helps earn you points for the team, qualify
for nationals, and most importantly, have lots of fun racing with other colleges in our
conference).
- Requires USAT membership
Logistical Things for Buzzard's Bay
- Transportation: the team will provide the buses and cars to and from the race.
- Hotel: the team will provide the hotel rooms for the night before the race (Saturday, 9/19)
- Subsidy: You will register yourself for the race, preferably by Sept 7(see details below). The
team will reimburse you $20 after you have raced. This brings the final cost to $70.
*Financial Aid: We love having a big team at races, and we don't want prices to keep
anyone from participating. If you feel that you need financial aid (such as a payment plan
or a bigger subsidy), email Kelly and Zach as soon as possible and they will work
something out for you.
Instructions for Registering
*Please register by September 7. We would like to have a head count and a definite gauge of
interest to start working on hotels, vans/cars, and reimbursements. If you run into issues
registering, email me for help and so I know you're interested in racing.
1. Click this: https://maxperformanceonline.com/buzzardsbayrace/buzzards-bay-triathlon-registration-page/
2. Enter your information. Be sure to Select INDIVIDUAL TRIATHLON
3. If you do not already have a USAT membership, you can buy a day pass ($12) or an annual membership ($45). Th day pass may be purchased during race registration, while the annual membership must be obtained on the USAT website.
[Annual membership: You "break even" if you do four races in 1 calendar year. You
will need to bring your USAT card with you to the race. PS You get a free bumper
sticker. Click here to get it http://www.usatriathlon.org/membership-services/join- or-renew.aspx<http://www.usatriathlon.org/membership-services/join-or-renew.aspxget>].
4. You need to be registered IN THE COLLEGIATE DIVISION. Please double and triple check that you have signed up for the collegiate wave (this is on the third page right after you indicate your tshirt size).
If you don’t sign up in this wave, you can’t qualify for nationals, score for the team,
and you’ll likely be behind everyone on the team during the race. It doesn’t matter if
you think you are elite or are a newbie/beginner, select collegiate wave.
5. When it asks for your Triathlon Club/Team, Write “Dartmouth Triathlon Team”. This ensures that we are all together in the transition area.
6. You will then pay for yourself. For information on subsidy, scroll back up.
7. EMAIL ME YOUR CONFIRMATION. You will get a confirmation email from Max Performance. Please forward that to me so that we have a head count for who has signed up and can start working on hotels and cars. Please try to do this byMonday, September 7th.
Thanks everyone!! Have a good rest of the summer, and can’t wait to see everyone this fall!
