Tis the season! Have you heard? The TTT Christmas Party is going to be the biggest celebration of the year! Members should have received a formal E-vite for the December 12
th celebration. Bring your significant other and be ready for an awesome good time. After a few formalities like our board elections, we'll have a plenty of prizes and a white elephant gift exchange! If you haven't yet received the invitation and would like to attend, please contact

IRONMAN 70.3 AUGUSTA - Registration should open December 1st!!!
This race is also a perennial favorite. With a downstream swim (like Chattanooga), rolling bike course, and BONE FLAT run, this race attracts one of the largest # of participants on the Ironman circuit.
IRONMAN 70.3 CHATTANOOGA -Sold out! Foundation slots still available
We have at least 16 TTT members registered for the Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga race next May. Registration is still open with the next price increase 2 weeks away... In addition, the TTT has organized a 16 week coached group program to help get our athletes to Chattanooga. You can
get details of the program HERE. You can also
download the signup form HERE. Feel free to contact
triadtriteam@gmail.com for additional details.
IRONMAN CANADA - Plenty of room left!
Registration is also open for this EPIC destination race. Located on the West Coast of Canada, this race is a true family destination race. Currently have 5 TTT members registered for this event! If you are thinking of signing up for a full distance Ironman race, please give this race serious consideration. The venue is simply amazing as it is located in a ski resort. You can ski/snowboard, mountain bike, and go to the beach all within a 5 minute walk from the hotel!

This month's AOM is April Rusing. Actually April is also the winner of the prestigious TTT Race Series and therefore earns herself the distinction of TTT Athlete of the year! Congratulations April.
April lives and breathes Triathlon and the Triathlon Lifestyle. Only a few short years after having started training, not only did she participate in all the TTT Race Series races, but she also competed in two 70.3 Distance Triathlons and already has a full schedule for next year with her first Ironman in Whistler! I encourage you to click here to read a short Q&A about April.
