Prices:
Uniform tops will cost $60 and the shorts will be $65. The shorts have a very nice chamois that makes them good for races as short as sprints or as long as half iron distance.
Dues-paying members will receive $5 off each piece if they're semester-long members or $10 off each piece if they're year-long members.
Uniforms were ordered today and we hope to have them in before the Beach Blast race (which is on September 12th).
