The first of its kind in this area. Finally, an opportunity for area Tri Clubs or Groups (i.e., city teams, coaching clubs, Team in Training groups, etc.) to showcase their talents. This event promises to be quite an experience. All Tri Clubs are invited and encouraged to attend. Although this event provides an opportunity for clubs to compete with each other, it is not limited to clubs or club members. Individual athletes and other relays are welcome and encouraged to participate. Be sure to list your Club in the comments section of your registration form!
The White Lake International Triathlon featuring Club Wars takes place on same course as the famed White Lake Triathlon Event. The location is perfect for such an event, as the North Carolina FFA Center allows teams to campout together at the race site and enjoy the triathlete community. You can rent a cabin or just simply pitch a tent on the grounds. There will also be a Luau (NO food provided, ONLY beverages) on Saturday night at 6pm, which will give teams a chance to hang out and socialize with other Tri Clubs. Music will be provided at the Luau. Come join the fun and help promote comraderie among triathletes and Tri Clubs. The 2008 Ironman World Championships will be shown on a big screen at the Luau for all participants to enjoy.
The Inside Out Sports Dash For Divas women's only triathlon will be held on Saturday, the day before the White Lake International Triathlon featuring Club Wars. Participants are encouraged to come down Friday and compete in the beginner distance event (250m Swim, 7 mile Bike, 2 mile Run), enjoy the Luau Saturday night, and stay to race or cheer on participants in the Club Wars Triathlon on Sunday. A great way to spend a weekend!

Tri Nation OnLine Club Cup Competition
WHAT IS THE TRI NATION ONLINE CLUB CUP COMPETITION? The Club Cup Competition allows clubs from across the nation to compete against each other for prize money and national recognition. The competition is open to all clubs. There are four different divisions which are small, medium, large and mega. The number of club members determine which division your club competes in. Each club member who finishes a sprint, olympic, half, or full distance triathlon event earns points for their club.

To compete and do well in a national competition will bring you great exposure. We have a Club Cup title sponsor which is paying up to $1000.00 to each of the winning clubs this season. Plus, show the rest of the country where the top triathletes really reside!
WHAT ELSE? The competition began March 1st and ends November 15th. The clubs with the most points and the most active clubs at the end of the season will win the prize money. If a club has not began entering their results before August 1st they will not be eligible to win the Club Cup title or prize money.

First weekly newsletter!
Happy Tuesday,Usually I try to get a USAT NCC newsletter out on Mondays, but this was a rough week.
I just started a new job, and I don’t know how much time I’ll have during the day to enter your mileage. It might not show up on the site until that evening or the next day, but rest assured, it will get entered.
Please do not email me the same mileage again, just wait for my reply email.
What you should submit and how you should submit it:
December is swim month but we’re still counting both bike and run mileage. So send any training you did in.
You should send your mileage as often as you accrue it.
Please send it in swim/bike/run format in MILES.
If you have an email account that is nothing like your name, please sign your email so I know who to log your mileage under.
All mileage for the month must be turned in by the final day of the month. For example, all December mileage must be turned in by COB on December 31st. No whining.
Spinning and treadmill miles count.
Everything is on the honor system. If I ask you to explain mileage it’s because someone else has asked me to. We question other club’s mileage sometimes, it’s all part of the deal. Don’t take it personally. They are just jealous.
Participating in the challenge means you understand and agree to abide by the rules.
Being rude or other generally obnoxious conduct can get you DQ’ed. I am a volunteer. I would rather be out training, watching The Hills, or anything else that didn’t involve data entry. So play nice.
I usually put a pirate joke or a movie quote or something at the end of my emails, but I’m totally burned out. I’m leaning towards celebrity gossip, but I’m taking suggestions.
Happy Training

FAQ's
For those who are too lazy to look at last year's:
The challenge starts December 1st and runs through February 28th.
Each month has a goal mileage to reach in one of the three triathlon disciplines.
December focuses on swimming, January on biking, and February on running- the same order as they are in a race.
Below are the goals for the club to reach each month. The first club to reach the milestone wins fabulous prizes. Also, the club with the most overall mileage in a month wins fabulous prizes.
December 2008: Swim Session (750 miles)
January 2009: Bike Session (10,000 Miles)
February 2009: Run Session (3,000 Miles)
If you want more information on the award structure, visit the USAT's website: http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/index.cfm
Also, DC Tri will award a prize to the athlete logging the most mileage in that's month's discipline. So, the DC Tri'er with the most swim miles in December, the DC tri'er with the most bike miles in January, and the DC Tri'er with the most run miles in February will all get fabulous prizes.
When the challenge starts, you will email your mileage to me, preferably daily, in MILES.
I have to enter your progress in miles, and it's a big PITA to convert mileage for 100+ people. Also, converting your mileage before you send it prevents flats. Just a rumor.
If you need a conversion website: http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/meters-to-miles.htm
USAT has a blog to keep everyone informed. I also heard we will be able to post on it, say to taunt San Diego's tri club. Just remember, comments are hard to un-post, so stay classy DC.http://usatncc.blogspot.com/
If you have a blog you would like me to link, shoot me an email.

Who's up to the challenge?
It's that time of year again!
Get your fins, trainers, and treadmills ready to go for the club challenge!
DC Tri is now signed up, but I need you all to send me your information if you want to participate.
What to do: Send me your First Name, Last Name, Age on December 1st, and gender.
Do not post your information on this thread. It makes you easier to stalk and it takes the fun out of it for me.
I'll post more information as I receive it.

Liar, liar, pants enfuego ...
Cheaters live in San Diego.
A few teams (Detroit, Cleveland, San Diego) have logged mileage that we'll deem ... unusual.
This is my second year as liasion and I've never managed to make an error so f'ed up that we undeservingly won a challenge, or that necessitated USAT fixing it.
Seriously, who cheats in a friendly competition with no cash prize?
Those who don't draft, who put in true training miles and don't falsify them, will perform better on race day.
"It is almost worth while to be cheated; people's little frauds have an interest which amply repays what they cost us. "
