Key points: Buzzard's Bay is our fall travel race, 9/16/18. Register by July 30th to get the early bird deal, and write your name on the spreadsheet below so that the team can transport/house/feed you.

But please do read this email in its entirety!

Hey triathletes!

18F is still 2 months away, but it's time to start thinking about the BUZZARD'S BAY SPRINT TRIATHLON, especially because registering early will save you some $$$ (and make your captains' lives easier 😉)

When/where?

Sunday, September 16 (we will drive down on Saturday, and the team will cover lodging for the night)
Westport, MA (~3 hours away)

What?

A team TRIdition!
1/3 mile (ocean) swim, 14 mile bike, 3.1 mile run
- You WILL need a wetsuit, along with all of the standard tri gear, for this race!! Start thinking about this now if you think you are missing any gear.

Who?

Any returning tri team member who wants to be an active team member in the fall!
- Friendly reminder that racing with the team is an expectation for active team members! But never fear -- if you can't make it to this race, we will have an on-campus indoor tri at the end of the fall.

How much ($)?

EARLY BIRD DEAL ENDS ON JULY 30th: $80 race fee + $4.40 sign-up fee (+ $15 one-day USAT membership if you're not an annual member)
AFTER JULY 30th: $90 race fee + $4.95 sign-up fee (+ $15 one-day USAT membership if you're not an annual member)
Good news: the team will partially subsidize your registration! That's about $40 back in your pocket come fall.

I want to come. What next?
