-Everyone who has not yet paid dues for the semester see Austin (email at fmj30cal@gmail.com to arrange a meeting). We need people to pay their dues if they have not yet paid.
Here are some sweet sponsor discounts that are currently going on:
-RUDY PROJECT
go to https://www.rudyprojectusa.com/b2b/ABK_Bro.htm and use the code fsutri (case sensitive). NOTE: go to \"Sports & Casual Gear\" on the left-hand menu to see the largest selection. That\'s not new, but the fact that we can share this discount code with friends and family is!
On a personal note, anyone who wants to demo my aero helmet (Syton Supercomp) is welcome to contact me. Also, we now have a deal that for every $1000 that the club orders (or friends & family, as long as the code \"fsutri \" is used) we get a free pair of glasses. I got the Horus glasses in the mail on 2-5-09 and they will be available for demo in the coming week or 2. They have Polar 3FX Brown Laser lenses (polarized, scratch resistant, fog resistant!). The next free glasses will be the Sport Mask Performance with Racing Red lenses. After that, I will get a female-specific pair if there\'s enough interest.
-BLACKWELL RESEARCH
They might be going out of business soon. They had a deal earlier this week to get wheels for $250 each. They are currently sold out. I bought 2 of their 100mm Tubular front wheels. One is for the team for demo purposes and/or if you want the wheel for a race (especially Ironman races). The other one is personal, but I could be coaxed into selling it.
-BLUESEVENTY
If you would like a BlueSeventy wetsuit (we get 25% off retail on these babies), see attached sizing chart and let me know. I have to place the orders for the team all at once. I ask that you get back to me by Sunday if you\'re interested. I need to meet you and get money (or a credit card to charge) by Tuesday. I\'m placing the order on Wednesday, Feb. 11. We also get 40% off accessories from BlueSeventy, so check out their website and get back to me.
-PROFILE DESIGN
Check your email for a pro-pricing chart or email me with questions on how much particular items are. You can browse their website, www.profile-design.com to see what you\'d like to order. We also have to place a bulk order for Profile Design. I\'ll set a deadline of Friday Feb. 13 for when I need to hear back from you (and get your money). I will place the Profile Design order on the 14th or 15th.
If you would like to try out our ISM seats here are some details about that:
ISM SEATS
Still available for demo. Let Austin get your name on the waiting list. We have the Adamo Road Saddle and the Adamo Racing Saddle. See www.ismseat.com for more info on the seats. Avaible to check out for a week at a time. You just have to put down a $20 deposit (fully refundable) and sign a release form. We get a 30% discount on these if you want to purchase. Also, if you\'d like to have one for a race (probably the racing saddle), let me know and I\'ll see what I can do.
GULF COAST TRIATHLON (HALF-IRON DISTANCE)
It\'s on May 9th. Go to http://www.gulfcoasttriathlon.com/ to sign up. Austin is getting a hotel room and we can carpool/board up together to save money if you\'re doing the race. There were at least 3 other interested people.
If there are any questions or concerns email me or one of the other officers. Have a great week everyone and lets get out there and train!
