The USAT National Challenge is back!!!
Here's how it works:
The National Challenge Competition (NCC) is designed to get triathletes excited about off-season training at the club level. Tri Clubs across the country go head-to-head to see who can log the most training miles during the competition.
The NCC will feature three sessions, each one month in duration, from December to February. Clubs will record their training miles and submit them on NCC site for automatic calculation and ranking.
All sessions will include swim, bike, and run, but one sport will be highlighted for each session. The winning club for each session is determined by the greatest number of miles logged during that session for that month's discipline. There are also prizes for the first club to reach the benchmark mileage for each session, and Overall Combined Mileage for a club at the end of the three months.
DECEMBER IS SWIM MONTH (club must reach 750 miles - that means all of you in Rob's classes better be in!
)
JANUARY IS BIKE MONTH (club must reach 10,000 miles)
FEBRUARY IS RUN MONTH (club must reach 3,000 miles)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, this year you MUST be a USAT member in good standing to participate.
Last year, we had a good turn out and several of our members ended up in the top 50 lists nation wide!!!
All mileage counts from 2 miles to 200 miles, so as you train this (off)season, please consider keeping track of your mileage and submitting it for our national challenge!
If you are interested in participating, please email me at CTCUSATchallenge@gmail.com. Please include the following:
-First and Last Name
-USAT Membership #
-preferred email address
-age as of December 2008
I will then send out a very helpful spreadsheet (created by Elizabeth Hansen) that tallies your workouts and converts them to miles to be entered as well as some helpful instructions.
If you have any questions feel free to post them here or email directly.
