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.

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.

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!
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR!
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.
