2020 Triathlon Season
Congratulations to all our club members for their races in 2019. The Club's board members and ambassadors are planning an action packed 2020 season. We started the New Year with our first Club Time Trial Strava event and we had a great turnout. Next is our annual Kick Off Dinner on February 1, 2020. Please buy your tickets as soon as possible and let's get all dressed up in real nice clothes that are not spandex! The banquet will cover the successes of our members in 2019 and what we have planned for 2020 - and there will be a lot of raffles and fun tri related activities. Our Raffles Include, an IM St. George 140.6 entry, another Ironman entry, and a 70.3 entry!

Velofix is here and ready to make sure you have everything you need to be successful during your 2020 racing season.
Why is a pre-race tune up important? Triathletes have many mental rigors on race day, and wouldn’t you like the piece of mind knowing that your bike is 100% race ready? It is just one less thing to worry about on race day and during the race itself!
Some of the most common things we see on triathlon bikes that we can address during your tune up include: wrong brake pads installed for race wheels, worn chains/bad shifting, brakes sticking, damaged tires and yes even missing bar end caps.
We love supporting all of you in your racing endeavors, we look forward to seeing you on race days as well as at your home or office to tune up your bikes! Contact us directly for Tri Club specials.

Prez Corner:
Thoughtful notes from a fearless LVTC leader.
When I trained and raced back in New York in the 80's, the first race of the year would usually be somewhere around June and the last race about November. Training during the off season was weather-limited … lots of cold, snow, and/or rain throughout the winter and spring months leading up to the start of the season. That meant a lot of training was packed in to the late spring and early summer months.
Here in the Southwest – our season runs from March/April all the way through December! On one hand, that’s great – lots of races, lots of time to train. On the other hand, the long season can work against us because the end of one season blends into the beginning of the next season. If we aren’t careful, we can easily slip into losing that spark for training.
Our Annual Kickoff Dinner (2/1/2020) is a great way to celebrate the 2019 season. We will take the time to recognize some great achievements by our members and give members the opportunity to celebrate individual accomplishments. We will also have some fun activities and great raffle prizes.
To ignite that spark for 2020, during our Annual Kickoff Dinner we will also lay out the plans for the 2020 season. We’ll go over the schedule for our multisport events, education sessions, and social events. Our theme for 2020 is ‘Build Success on Success.’ We want to provide some great events and opportunities for the endurance community to connect in a way that nurtures and grows the interest in multisport events.
We very much want all our members to be engaged at some level with the club – whether that is racing, training, learning, or socializing – there are lots of different ways to be engaged.
I am very much looking forward to the 2020 season and hope to see you at the Kickoff Dinner so we can celebrate 2019 and Kickoff 2020!
