Downtown Airport Time Trial #1

April 1st was more than "Fools Day", it was also the semi-official kick off of the MTC Downtown Airport Time Trial Series.  We have done events at the Airport for years but this season we are going to make it an on-going series, on the First Tuesday of each month.

Thank you to everyone who participated.  I also appreciate those who spread the word about the ride via social media and/or invited friends to come along as well.

The next "public" event on the MTC training calendar is the Kansas 70.3 Training Camp May 2-4.  

The next Time Trial will be May 6th.  To register just "Join" the event on Facebook

2014-15 Uniforms Now Available for Order

Once or twice per year we open up the Midwest Triathlon Coaching gear store hosted by Zoca Gear (our manufacturer)  The store is now open until March 30th.
Here are the things you need to know about MTC gear and the gear ordering process -

1. Every year I get lots of comments from athletes saying how great it was to hear others cheering for them when they are out racing.  When you are feeling a bit down a "GO MTC!" can equal free speed.
2. I've also received comments from athletes saying how disappointed they were that they didn't order MTC gear and then missed out on all the camaraderie and team spirit.
3. This uniform design will be the same for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, we only change designs every two years.
4. Tri kits are great for racing and training bricks; BUT
5. Bike jersey and bike shorts are more appropriate for training rides so I suggest ordering both.
6. Tech tees are great for running races & training, wearing around before/after events and is the "official" shirt to wear when you are up on the podium picking up your Age Group Award :)
7. "Men's" marathon singlet is exactly the same as the women's, but ladies should size accordingly when ordering
8. We have kid's gear for those of you with young athletes looking to race
9. You order and pay Zoca directly.  They will manufacture and ship the gear straight to you. We should have the gear back around the first weekend of May.
10. You do not have to be a currently coached athlete to purchase MTC gear. If you are part of the "Racing Team" or an extended member of the MTC Family (former athletes, spouses, children, friends etc) please consider ordering as well - happy to have you sporting this great looking gear!

Final Note -  I have to order my personal stuff now too.  I don't "stock" any gear and don't order anything "extra", (people ask every time...) so if you want something, you need to order it now.
