Interest meeting

If you missed the interest meeting last week, never fear! We are here to catch you up on what was discussed.

In the near future, club members will be traveling to Callaway Gardens. Anyone interested in going should sign up ASAP and let us know. Also, I found out today that the other race for the fall semester is $30 cheaper than I thought. If you see this in the next hour, you can register for $45. On Sept. 1, the price increases to $55 (I think). To get this discounted rate, you must have the collegiate code. Talk to us to get that.

We were planning on another race this fall (the weekend of Oct. 4), but that race is already full and closed to registration. So while that is a no go, we are exploring other options for that weekend.

Race for the Cure is Oct 24. It's a 5k race for a good cause, and one we have been involved with in the past.

We are planning a sweet bike trip to Cades Cove on Sept. 18-19. It's approx. 45 miles from campus to the park, and we will ride there on Friday, stay the night in the park, hike and/or ride back on Saturday. The football game that day is Florida, but we'll be back in plenty of time to watch it on tv (it's an away game). We will also have a support car to provide encouragement/car rides for those in need.

We need members of the club to pay dues. Dues are $60 for the whole year. The benefits of dues are: hotels and gas on club trips are paid for, great deals on apparrel ($50 for the full Tennessee Tri kit - that is a steal).

Anyone interested in going to Panama City Beach, FL on the weekend of November 6-8 shoot me an email at allan.j.hamilton@gmail.com

Look for a spin class in the next week or two.

This next week is the last week without official practices.
Those will start up the days classes start. The practice
schedule will closely resemble the previous year. If you
forgot what that looks like:

Monday



5:30-6:30pm spin class in T-recs



Tuesday



6:30-7:30am swim at the SAC

5:30-7:00pm speed workout at the track with the KTC



Wednesday



3:30-4:30pm swim at the SAC

5:30-6:30pm run from the Runner's Market with the KTC

6:30pm dinner at El Mezcal with the KTC



Thursday



6:30-7:30am swim at the SAC

5:30-6:30pm Spin class on the bottom floor of T-recs



Friday



3:30-4:30pm swim at the SAC

5:00-7:00pm ride from the SAC



Saturday

To be determined



Sunday

2:00pm Bike ride from SAC parking lot

Now, any of the spin classes will probably be subbed for
outdoor bike rides since it is sunny and warm outside

Things to remember:
Our first interest meeting for the Triathlon Club is
Thursday, August 27 at 7 p.m. in TRECS Room
228

RECFest is Tuesday, August 18 from 5-8 outside
of TRECS. This is important to meet incoming
freshmen and let them know that they want to
join the Tri club
