Any chance this year if you are already signed up you would get an error message ?

Saying "invalid email address"

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

did you sign up on the front page? because i'm on our lists multiple times (on various lists) and i signed up just now on the front page and had no issues.

---

I did but could due to work computer blocking something.

well, i don't know why. i'll have jordan look at it. we have a lot of people successfully entering their addresses. i added the address you have on your user profile.

That worked if I did it in the correct place. No error message

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

OK, thanks

I got the same error message from my work computer, but it worked from my phone...

well, heck, i don't know what to say about that, except that there must be some sort of system you have at work that keeps you from doing something we're asking you to do. i can't think it's anything we're doing on OUR side, unless you're reading us from china or someplace we have IP bans in place.

I had the same error. Once I deleted my "default" email and fully hand typed it in it worked.

I'll take a ml maverick and smoke goggles.
That's all!
Sincerely Mark

It worked for me. Garmin Edge 520 please!

Done....
A new wet suit would be nice....

Done...
Garman 520 or Goggles

to be CLEAR what happens here, i will DRAW a name tomorrow. and then 2 names the next day and every day thereafter. everybody is eligible for every drawing, so, the sooner you sign up, the more chance you have to win.

i will let everyone whose name is drawn know, and then these folks, in order of having their names drawn, can choose from the prizes still left.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Worked for me!

Worked for me. Glad people are having problems, keeps the count down so I have a better chance at winning ;)

Sweet! I could use a new wetsuit!

I got the same error on my desktop and handheld. Any way to have you resubmit my name? I know everyone is thinking "no way, that betters our chances"!

i copied and pasted your email address in the newsletter signup on the front page and clicked "subscribe". you're subscribed.

Same thing for me - same error at home, work and phone.

Signed Up

Will you announce who the winners are and what they won?

yeah. well, as to who the winners are, yes subject to the winner wanting to be announced by name. not all winners will have a forum user name because you don't have to be a registered user to sign up for our weekly newsletters. so, as to the "who" we'll announce what we can. as to the "what", yes, we'll announce that.

i'll probably make the first announcement this afternoon.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Much Appreciated!

I have tried three different computers, two different phones and three different browsers and get the same "There has been an error processing your request" each time :(

I never have any trouble putting in any of your emails. Maybe it's a browser thing. But I'm happy to add your email myself.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Sweet.

all signed up!!! hope i can win!!

Same problem here Dan, no worky for me. I'm going using Chrome if that helps problem solve.

i had no problem putting your name on our list using our utility on the front page. (firefox) i will say that when i copy and paste your email, there is often a space before or after the email and THAT causes a problem.

N.B. if you are getting the "invalid email address" error, check to make sure you don't have any whitespace before/after your email address. I'm working on fixing this, but for now 'test@null.com' works fine (without the ' marks) but 'test@null.com ' will throw the error. So if you're getting this error, make sure it's JUST your email address and no whitespace.

"Non est ad astra mollis e terris via." - Seneca | rappstar.com | FB - Rappstar Racing | IG - @jordanrapp

If you are getting this error, make sure you are not using the "Subscribe" flyout at the very top. You must use one of the two dedicated boxes that says "Circulation Drive."

If you used the one at the very bottom, that had an error which I have since fixed. Sorry.

"Non est ad astra mollis e terris via." - Seneca | rappstar.com | FB - Rappstar Racing | IG - @jordanrapp

When is the first drawing and will you be publicly keeping track of what prizes have been chosen? Will it be in this thread, the front page story or somewhere else?

---

--Chris

first drawing is imminent. i'll keep you apprised of it all, here on the thread.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

we've chosen our first winner. i've sent out the email, awaiting his reply.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

You might want to send it again, I don't see any email from you in my inbox

---

Matt

first raffle winner is Gerardo Perez, in SoCal. interstingly, what he CHOSE is not on the list. it's a ROKA Sleeveless Aero Tri Suit. but ROKA is out of them. they're going to root around and see if they can find him one in his size, otherwise, Gerardo wants a Maverick X. he'll get one or the other.

if you didn't enter, you obviously weren't in the running to win? we have dozens more to give away! enter your email at the bottom of this page.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Congrats Gerardo! Dan.....I entered yesterday, but when I try again today I am getting that error. I tried my work email address, just to see if I get an error...and I don't.

you can only enter once. so, if you were already part of our newsletter mailing list, you can enter THIS list to be eligible. it won't change anything for you. but once you put your name on THIS list, that's it. you're on. you're eligible.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

ok, thanks. I misunderstood and thought you needed to enter multiple times.

Maverick X Wetsuit (medium)!

Signed up! Maverick X small :)

signed up ... Maverick suit please :)

Not sure if I'm signed up, have tried several times but keep getting error messages, might've worked the first time though. Anyway to check?

---

Terrible Tuesday’s Triathlon

So besides Gerardo, has there been any other drawings?

no. things got a little behind the last 3 days, during my quick trip to mexico for the 70.3 in monterrey. but i'm back in the office and we'll have 2 drawings today.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Signed up.
One quirk though is that I signed up to the mailing list using my new email and modified my account email to match afterwards. Hopefully that still works?

Wetsuit Medium :D

Thanks!

All signed up. MT wetsuit/L swimskin/xl cycling kit

Louis Frischl got himself a Garmin 520. the good book says, "you have not because you ask not." i say, "you win not because you enter not."

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Thank you again! Super excited about it!

I've entered, but I've never actually won anything from a competition so I'm not holding my breath in the slightest

---

Disclaimer: Not a triathlete anymore, just a fish

here is what the most recent winner just emailed me:

"Whooooo hooooooooo! I never win, so cool! Is the Maverick X still available?"

Salt in the wound

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

we've got dozens of prized to give away, and nothing is small.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Is this US-only , or are we people across the pond in?

---

Sr. Salitre

depends what raffle prize you choose. there is nowhere you live where some GOOD options won't be available to you.

---

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Right? I even go to those stupid tri club raffles where like -- almost-- everybody gets something, at least a hat... Me? Nada... KInda feel like trump at the coast guard ceremony i'm such a whiner....

Late to the party but I'm in !

I entered but have not won. There must be more to it!

The only thing I have ever won was a harry potter piggy bank and a set of the hardbound books (only 4 at the time). I was part of a summer reading club from a local book store when I was a little guy and I met the minimum number of books to read for a chance of the prize. Only a small other handful of kids had also finished the minimum number.

This isn't from lack of me not entering either. I guess I wore all my luck out in my early years for a silly piggy bank.

I thought I was part of the circulation but now not sure and I error out. Even on multiple browsers and checking for spaces. Dan, can you check to see if I am entered or enter me if I am not?

Thanks

Steve

you're in.

There has been an error in processing your request. You may already be listed in the mailing list, or your email address has been entered incorrectly. Please try again. If you are still encountering problems subscribing, contact us for assistance.

Still not fixed?

If I say "I never win anything" does that improve my chances, too?

Surely I am not the only one who keeps getting this error message?

I registered on day1, successfully. But, I just tried again, since you asked.

Yes, I am getting the error.

Does that mean I'm not going to win anything?

I also got the same error, but i signed up previously and have already received one subscription e-mail since then. So i think the "you have already signed up" portion applies to me. Sorry if that's not much help.

Me too, but Slowman says we're supposed to be able to sign up repeatedly, and that's the only way to be eligible for subsequent raffles. Oh well...

Hey Dan- would you mind confirming if I'm in as well?

Thank you sir!

Are you trying to enter your email every day ?

---

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

If I were you, I would go back up and read those earlier posts again.

Here is my one win: I was listening to the AM radio station in college, which you could only get if your radio was plugged into an outlet in a university dorm (hey, it was the 70's). The DJ said, "The third caller will win a one pound box of chocolates from the local pharmacy." I called and got through! I asked, "Am I the third caller?" The DJ sighed, and said, "No, but if you hang up and call back two more times, you will be." The chocolates were really good!

I guess I could throw back to the early 80s for another win.... I think it was radio station KMET, 94.7 in Los Angeles, I won tickets to the Doobie Brothers "farewell tour" - on a rotary phone. My big sister drove me to the show

SO excited for this!! I'm brand new in the sport of triathlon, and as a student and parent, it's hard to dedicate the necessary resources to this sport. I had everything i needed (bike, running shoes, watch, clothes, body) except the swim part! Now, I am excited for my wetsuit and just need to get my hands on some goggles!!

Thanks Slowtwitch and ROKA for this great prize! Can't wait to be more involved in this community!

we've given away 5 raffle prizes so far. in the next 24hr or so we'll update the list of prizes to show what's been taken (and who the winners are!).

stconcierge (her forum name) and i sat down yesterday to go over the winners, and she and i will be adding a bunch of prizes to the list in the first post of this thread.

I keep getting the newsletter, so that part seems to be working. But, you must keep typing my email wrong when you try to notify me that I've won.

I have previously indicated that I've never won anything before...

Same here...newsletter arrives, I read and hop on a couple of links...so far so good. Blingy, blingy email must be getting mis-directed for some reason. For what it's worth, I do enjoy the articles...usually never go to the front page otherwise.

Roka Ultra sunglasses.

I don't see my email either. Smells like Russians.

DocPeachey, you won! I just sent you an email... so reply and let me know what you want...

---

Karen ST Concierge

I don't know, but you won something. I just emailed you. The prizes are going fast! Get back to me with your choice!

---

Karen ST Concierge

Winner winner! Bling bling...

WhooHoo! Hopefully, I'll be rocking some Roka jammers in masters practice soon! Thanks!

Look at meeeee! I won! Thanks so much!

Festina Lente

What the WHAT!? I actually won something. A really cool something!

Thanks to Slowman and STConcierge! Can't wait to receive my new toy!

EDIT: Just figured it out. This is karma doing me a solid in return for rocking the Slowtwitch / Desoto cycle kit at Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour. Well played, karma. Well played.

Schwing!

Now I have to change my name so no one knows I ever won anything.

Signed up.

Roka swimwear please - size medium.

I signed up! Roka please! Medium

huzzah! i never win anything!
