New Sponsorship with SLS3 Tri Gear


I am happy to announce that our Team sponsorship with SLS3 that was started last summer has gotten even better!
Effective immediately all Team members and friends of MTC can get 50% off all clothing and equipment. Go to their store - http://www.slstri.com/?Click=792 and use the code mwtricoach50.
I have SLS3 TRI items from head to toe - visor, swim cap, shirt, compression tri shorts as well as regular and compression socks. Everything I have is of high quality.
As well, to kick off this new partnership SLS3 has created a raffle for us, they are giving away a free pair of Compression Socks or Sleeves to the winner. To enter go to https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/429d7cd814/ and give them your email address. Contest runs for the next six days so don't delay.
Just so you know, I get approached regularly from companies wanting to sell things to our Team but only get involved with products I have used and believe in. If you have any questions about their gear please let me know.

MTC Update - June 5, 2015

Been a lot going on since the last blog entry.
We had a great turn out for the Open Water Swimming Clinic & Practice on May 13th at the Longview Lake Swim Beach. There will be more opportunities to swim at the beach on Wednesday evenings, June 10 & 24, and also July 8 & 22. Cost is $15 and registration can be found on Active.com.
The third event in the Downtown Airport Time Trial took place on June 2nd. These "mock" races are FREE for everyone and take place on the first Tuesday of the month. If you are interested in participating please let us know you are coming by "joining" the Event on the MTC Facebook page. Next one is July 7th @ 6:30p.

Some participants after the June DT Airport Time Trial

Results for June were generally faster than the previous month as the weather was nice and the wind wasn't as gusty.  Our winners were Mike "The Biking Ninja" Carlson and Annie "Road Warrior" Altorfer. Congratulations to them and everyone who participated. A special pat on the back to the Juniors we had participate, it was great having some teenagers involved as well!
