It’s time for the September Haus Triathlon Team meeting and social.

Join your fellow teammates for an update on the status of the team, an informational team clinic, and a fun time afterwards (read: free food and cocktails for members).

Here are your details:

September 16th

Clinic from 6-7

Social and fun with your teammates and friends from 7-8:30

It’s time for renewal of team dues! If you joined the team in the year 2008, your meager renewal fee is only $50! We take cash, check (made to Haus Triathlon), first born, and indentured servitude.

And here is a fun surprise…every member who comes to the team meeting and social will get a brand new Haus Triathlon towel. What better way to find your transition spot and show your spirit than with a great looking HT towel?!

For Havens sake!

Huge congrats to Bucky Jones for zipping through Barbs Race at this year Vineman. Bars Race is the female only race that runs with the half ironman distance Vineman…

Bucky croooooooozed to a 8th place outof 50 competitors in her age group and 79th overall…her finish time was 6:13:39!

Way to go Bucky!

We also just learned that Viviana raced at Barbs this year as well.  Finishing with a time of 6:45:43, despite an additional 10 minutes on her time due to a fallen tree, she had one solid race!!!  Congrats and glad to hear you both enjoyed wine country.
