Wow!

What a fantastic weekend. The energy at this year's event was the best
it has ever been. The organizational team met last night and everyone
seemed to have a great experience.

We would love to hear any suggestions you may have to make this great
event even greater.

I want to take this time to thank you all for participating in the 19th
annual triathlon.

Mark your calendars for 20th Annnual Brewhouse Triathlon Sunday Aug 6th. All the distances stay the same. Early registration will open up in a few weeks. I will send you a reminder when it does.

This year Gear West is holding give-aways at the Brewhouse Tri!. They are still doing the awesome bike and wetsuit gear, but they've have now added 10 Spinervals DVD's($300.00) and a TYR Transition Back Pack filled with Shimano Tri Shoes, Shimano 105 pedals, Saucony Run Shoes, Bell Sweep R Helmet, QR Tri outfit, and a set of Yankz. This is almost $700.00. It brings the total of give-aways to $2700.00 at each of the 10 races. The bag has become the big hit for the give-aways, as big as the bike!
