Technically the team will be run out of the New England area, but we will be recruiting members from all over the U.S.

We considered doing that initially, but after some long discussions, we decided that opening the team up to an application process would be the ideal way for us to select the best members for our team.

I opened up a new account because I am new to Slowtwitch. I know of this forum because it is very well known in the tri world and is a great place to advertise for a new team such as this one.

What are the requirements to be on this team?

How many races do you have to race specific to the team?

How long is the agreement?

Do you have to race in the team kit? (stupid question, but figured I would throw it out there)

What does "Incentives" mean?

Will the sponsors be announced before the applications are due?

Will you require the selected athletes to drop sponsors they already have? (another stupid question, but figured I would ask)

And I think you just said that Slowtwitch has the fastest athletes out of all the forums ;)

All of the requirements will be laid out during the application process. Some of the requirements will be to exclusively wear the team kit and exclusively use sponsor products (ones that you are supplied with) during races and training, completing product reviews for team sponsors, participating/volunteering at at least 1 event/race/expo on behalf of one of the team's sponsors (mutually agreed upon-most likely will be at a race you are already attending), posting on team blog, posting pictures, race reports and results etc.

There will most likely be only 1 team race that members will be strongly encouraged to attend, but will not be required.

The agreement will last 1 year.

Incentives mean there will be some monetary incentives for certain results (specifics will be discussed with athletes prior to signing contract)

Yes, All of the sponsors will be announced before the application process.

If selected, we will do our best to accommodate existing sponsors as long as they do not conflict with team's sponsors.

Not necessarily :). I know there are some fast ones on here though!

4 Elite AG Athletes: Full line of custom team apparel (tri kit, cycling kit, jacket, shirts, pants, shorts, etc.), Custom painted Team TT helmet, GPS watch, Saddle, Product from Title Sponsor, plus more products from the team sponsors, and pro deal discounts from team sponsors.


It looks like you want some good athletes to be moving billboards with very little in return..

It doesn't sound that way to me. I'm impartial in this discussion but if the team lives up to what the OP stated up front on what the elites would get and the pro's would get, it doesn't seem like a one sided gig to me.
But, I didn't see any requirements for specific races/distances or what the "fine print" may say.

Will you be considering Masters athletes or will this be elite open athletes?
