Frederick Triathlon Club in Frederick, Maryland

Club member Margaret Northam informed me of this event for next year and thought members might be interested:

According to website, this race consists of relay teams who paddle a canoe or kayak, bike, and then run.  Looks like fun!

The Frederick YMCA Women’s Triathlon is scheduled for Sept 26. I’ve said to the YMCA coordinator Maria Rubeling that I’d see about getting folks from the club to volunteer at the water stop on the run (and I’d be there myself). I also know at least one other club member who will be there. Maria happily agreed and we’ll be again manning a water stop on 16th Street.  Anyone else?

In addition, I’m arranging to have folks at Packet Pickup to represent the club and “wave the flag” for the club there.  Details still in the works but it looks like I’ve been given the “go-ahead” for that as well.

Volunteering gives back to the sport that we all enjoy and you get to see an event from a different aspect. And since it will be hosted again by Racine Multisports, our new club banner will be flying at this event this year.

Let me know by the week prior if you would. I’ll send out a reminder notice that week.  I’ll forward your name to Maria and see where you can be used.
