PTC Club Meeting – January – choose happiness

Hello Everyone,

We had a great Club Meeting yesterday at Run With Us. We had some brand new members. Steve Mackel was our guest speaker and our sponsor Run With Us raffled off a pair of shoes!

As part of the transition to Race Reach the sign in process at the meeting allowed everyone to confirm their information as well as offer a list for people that need help with the transition. If you still need help or there is a problem please e-mail Joe. (members@pasadenatriclub.com or joe.wong.blueblanket@gmail.com)

Lynda showed off the T-Shirt design

For all racers who sign up for at least 2 of the Fecta Races, a free T-shirt, is provided by Run With Us.

Running Talk

Coach Steve Mackel who is also a club sponsor did a great job of digging into running form, running shoes, and how a musicians’ clip-on-metronome can ultimately make you faster. More info on his products and services at Tri This Coaching.

Pasadena Sprint Triathlon

The Pasadena Sprint Triathlon is a bit earlier this year, March 7th. The event is a great opportunity for our club to reach out to new members. There will be a series of Intro to Tri classes geared for new members in preparation for the race. The first is Janurary 22nd at the Rose Bowl Aquatics center

Additionally, Nicole Luque who is both a club member and employee of Generic Events is recruiting volunteers for the event. Volunteers will receive a 30$ discount on a future Generic Event.
