It is finally time!
The Slowtwitch Gathering at Tribe Multisport is happening again, and we can’t be more excited about it! Last year was a blast so we’re doing all we can to make this year even better… and raise even more money for our local charity Not One More Foundation. Once again, we’re having financial advisor and fellow Slowtwitcher (one of the top age group triathletes in the country) Bryan Dunn co-sponsor this event. We’re hoping that whether you’re racing, volunteering, spectating, or just looking for a good time, you join us**.**
The event is planned for Friday, November 18th from 3-5pm at Tribe Multisport. The time should give participants ample time to make it to registration, the pro press conference, etc. and then allow you to get back to transition for the athlete dinner (store is about 6-7 miles from IM village). We’re planning on having free food, drinks, and some pretty kick ass raffle prizes (keep reading!).
As part of the ST gathering, I’ve once again arranged with a pretty deep list of pro’s so you can “See what the pro’s are riding”. About 14-16 pro triathletes (participating at IMAZ) will be at Tribe with their bikes as they’ll be racing them on Sunday. You’ll have an opportunity to check ‘em out, talk to the pro’s, take pictures, and get plenty of autographs. We’re very flattered and lucky that these pro’s have taken time out of their day to join us for the event.
Here’s the list of confirmed Pro’s:
- Linsey Corbin (2nd Year)
- Meredith Kessler (2nd Year)
- Lewis Elliot
- Ian Mikelson (2nd Year)
- Jozsef Major (2nd Year)
- Kevin Taddonio
- Jackie Arendt
- Sebastian Kienle
- Jessica Smith
- Kelly Williamson
- Christian Nitschke
- Chris Boudreaux
- Donna Phelan (2nd Year)
- Leanda Cave
- Michi Weiss
- Heather Wurtele (Maybe Trevor as well)
- Erika Csomor (2nd Year)
- Eneko Llanos & Dirk Bockel (unconfirmed)
As for the raffle, we’re very lucky to have some great partners that have donated some great prizes. Everyone in attendance will receive 1 raffle ticket with the option of buying extras. ALL MONEY RAISED via raffle tickets will be donated to the Not One More Cyclist Foundation. NOM is a local organization dedicated to ending cyclist-vehicle accidents on the roads that are unfortunately all too common. A huge thanks to** Shimano, Cannondale, SRAM, Reynolds, Nineteen, Scott, Vittoria NA, Speedplay, Louis Garneau, Profile Design, and ISM Saddles**.
