i got into this discussion yesterday with someone. seems there are the following sorts of clubs, tho with some crossover. first, social clubs, not designed to make money per se:
L.A. Tri club
St. Petes Mad Dogs
Mullica Hill Tri Club
Tri Scottsdale
Golden Gate Tri Club
Silicon Valley Tri Club
District Tri
Rochester Area Triathletes
then there are the clubs built around athletes and coaches. so...
QT2 Systems
D3 Multisport
Alien Endurance
Team Big Sexy
AP Racing
and then finally there are clubs built around brands.
Wattie Ink
Cobb Mobb
Base Performance
this excludes school based teams and of course i'm only listing US-based teams here. i'm sure there are other specialty teams not included in the above categories, and i'm also excluding the charity-based teams in the 3 categories above.
what are the obvious teams i'm missing from these lists above? and by obvious i mean big, important, well run teams. and, what categories am i missing? basically, what's wrong or incomplete with my list?
