    • Fun, irreverent people you look forward to having a beer with
    • Fans of TRS Brand
    • Shared sense of humor
  • We are NOT Ironman distance or brand obsessed
    • Equal focus on Sprint, Olympic and half distance
  • Simple, clean kits. We are not human stock cars racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
    • One Title Sponsor logo (Huub) on the kits
  • Internal Competition
    • Annual awards based on internal rankings
    • TRS East v. TRS West
  • Possible External Competition with other club teams
  • Code of Conduct
    • Athletes are not #sponsored and will not pretend to be elite/pro athletes or annoy their friends/family online
    • Appropriate and measured promotion of team partners
    • No bragging about your workouts online (see unfollow rules)
  • Online Forum for internal banter, trash talk, and sponsor ads/links
  • Camp
    • Off-season cycling/drinking camp in The Texas Hill Country
  • Possible Team Meetups/Parties

    • Winter/Spring half marathon
    • Summer team race on the east coast - Toughman New York
    • Fall Team Race Event and Party Weekend in Metro Houston

How do you become a member of the team?

First off, declare your eligibility for the #TRSDraft. Get creative. If you're a fit, you'll figure out how to get our attention. There is no formal application or process. Make a video, leave a message on skype, create an audio file, write an email or blog post or get our attention some other way. Tell Dark Mark and me why you want in and what you bring to the table. Once you are eligible for the draft, Dark Mark and I will host a live selection show sometime around the holidays. Anything you submit may be shared on a blog, read during a podcast, or broadcast on national television, so represent yourself and don't suck. As of last night 10 luck individuals have gotten our attention.

(Edit: we are now over 75 eligible draftees).

NOTES:
1. Bike Sponsor. Falco. Steep and deep discount for team members. Unlike most "elite" team managers, I WILL NOT be skimming additional commission for myself from these sales. All savings passed on to the team. Falco is making a custom black/white V frame for us that Dark Mark is helping to design. It's gonna be sick.
2. Huub will be our title sponsor. Expect great deals and a shit ton of fun from this irreverent and fun-loving brand.
3. Paincave is a partner. Thank you Eganski.
4. TorHans is a partner. Thank you Hans!

It's possible that we will have prize money at our fall race. In addition, we plan to give away a bike frame to the team MVP that weekend. The weekend will consist of a super sprint, a sprint or oly distance, a beer mile, and a Golden Globes style awards show that will serve as a roast of all triathlon.

Do I get a Truckers Hat?

Maybe a Sticker for my car or a sticker for my maid's car or a sticker for my maid's maid's car?

Where do team tattoos go?

(seriously love this idea - well done - keep up the great work).

Ask not what your tri team can do for you. Ask what you can do for your tri team.

Joking aside, if discounts and freebies are what you are most interested in, this is probably not for you. Join the LA Tri Club or just keep shopping on Amazon.

Yes, there will be freebies and yes, there will be discounts, but that shouldn't matter. This is bigger. This triathlon's first fraternity. Our founding fathers, this class of 2015, will go down in triathlon history.

As long as I see more of you guys at events than all those Wattie W's then all is good.

Is the actual Starky going to be the lead man on this team?

I have no problem with most of the W's. Many are fine folks. There are a few that are still very upset with me and that's okay. It's their prerogative.

The actual Starky does his own thing and will not be involved. My twitter account started as a pure parody of Andrew but after just a month or so, my material has had almost nothing to do with him. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm pretty much stuck with the name. All good.

The team is for AGers. I won't be surprised if there are a few pros who "turn amatuer" just to join the team.

I did a 1.5h masters swim this morning! It was tough! Drills and speed, arh!!

Doing a 1h zone 1 run tonight. No intervals, hurray!

Then I'll do a beermile with real beer. None of that Budweiser crap, because that's for girls.

The fact you posted about your workouts makes you ineligible.

That's what I was thinking. Some STers because of doing this are ineligible for several generations.
Not even their children's children's children can apply.

Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

I'll vouch for Zach. Bought a saddle from him that didn't have any weird stains and didn't smell like fart too bad.

Does the sponsorship not fly in the face of your somewhat "anti-corporate" brand?

I'd be interested in rocking the cock next year I weren't already rocking my custom fire-crotch speedo with matching bike/helmet. Just took it to an overall victory down here in Houston.
But if not part of the team, and if I'm unable to peel myself away from this city, I'd still be up for taking on a beer mile next fall.

If I align myself with chocolate milk and powerbar and subsequently join the Ironman tri club program, then you may certainly call me a hypocrite. On the other hand, if I can help some grassroots, independent and/or start-up brands, that will be quite satisfying. You'll have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Thanks! But like most triathletes, I'm much more interesting on the internet than in person.
