Hey gang,
Our next indoor triathlon is here as the winter 2024 season of the Tri312 indoor triathlon (and duathlon!) series continues at LAKESHORE SPORT & FITNESS this SUNDAY 4/21/24!
ARE YOU SIGNED UP TO RACE OR VOLUNTEER????
THANK YOU in advance to those of you helping out this weekend... and don't forget to RSVP and SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER if you haven't already @ www.Tri312.com/volunteer
Here is who we have so far:
SHELLEY = CHECK IN
FRED, BECKY = SWIM STATION
CAROL, SARA = BIKE STATION
KAT, JULIAN = RUN STATION
Our Tri312 indoor triathlons at "LSF" are at the Lakeshore Sport & Fitness (LSF) - Illinois Center (LSF-IC) location at 211 N. Stetson Ave.
If you're interested in being a part of this indoor tri or any future event in the series, make sure you sign up to race and/or volunteer for each event if you have not done so already!
To volunteer, sign up at http://www.Tri312.com/volunteer to pick your specific volunteer role(s)!
To race, please feel welcome (as alumni volunteers of any of our past events) to use code "volunteermonster" for $25 off at www.Tri312.com - if you're racing on the same day as you volunteer, simply select either the FIRST or LAST wave, so that you can complete a volunteer shift either before or after racing!
VOLUNTEER TEXT MESSAGE GROUP
Please sign up and/or update your settings in our volunteer TEXT MESSAGE group here as we'll use this tool to communicate with each other over the weekend via text message. Feel free to send a text message to introduce yourself and let us know if you plan to help out with any specific tasks and/or if you're racing too: https://tinyurl.com/indoortri-text
TEAMREACH.com -> use code "Tri312"
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, anytime! Sending a text to the text group works great for urgent matters on race day, and for keeping everyone informed of any FAQ, please also feel welcome to join our new TEAMREACH GROUP that anyone can join for both TRI312 updates and general Chicago area training - simply download the "TeamReach" phone app from www.TeamReach.com and use code "tri312" to join in!
VOLUNTEER CHECK IN @ 7:00am + PUBLIC PARKING @ 221 N. Stetson (you can pay for a discounted parking voucher at the LSF front desk before you leave)
When you arrive, please check in at the main LSF front desk and then proceed to the ATHLETE CHECK IN. You may need to show ID and sign the new LSF-IC club waiver when you arrive at the front desk if you have not done so already - but you can do this in advance using this link on your way in, scanning your ID with your phone: http://tinyurl.com/lsfic-waiver
The main LSF-IC front desk is also where you can pay a discounted rate to get a parking voucher to the attached public garage @ 221 N. Stetson - do this when you leave, not when you arrive, because you'll have to specify for how many hours you want parking, and if you plan to attend a post race social, you might be out for a bit longer! You can also find plentiful metered street parking nearby. Then check for signage and proceed to ATHLETE CHECK IN which may be located by the BIKE AREA (at Lakeshore we usually have this set up along the outside of the INDOOR RUNNING TRACK). The ATHLETE CHECK IN area will also serve as VOLUNTEER CHECK IN. We'll give you more instructions there to assign you to an area, answer any final questions, and you'll receive some TR312 swag like our new TRI312 FANNY PACKS that you can use to store your phone and some snacks while volunteering! Here is full parking info: https://www.tri312.com/Race/Tri312/Page/parking
In the mean time, here is a general informational sheet for INDOOR TRI VOLUNTEER TIPS that you can review: http://tinyurl.com/VolunteerMonsters-Tips
SETUP + TEARDOWN + POST RACE SOCIAL - DARE2TRI EVENT or SWEETWATER STARTING AROUND 10:30am???
We will be around the club setting up a few things earlier starting at 7:00am. Please feel welcome to arrive early to help with setup! We'll probably start tear down around 10:30-11:00am if all goes well, give or take. Post race, we may head over to the DARE2TRI START THE SEASON event, otherwise we will head out for a social hour to SWEETWATER just 1 block west of the club on Michigan Ave - please feel welcome to head over early and grab a big table. FYI, You can get a rewards program discount for $35 off $100 food and drinks on their website at https://www.sweetwatertavernandgrille.com/ or by following this referral link to get $25 off a tab of $50 or more: Join inKind and we'll both get $25 to spend at amazing restaurants!
