Sign up to be on the Tri Club Roster!
I've had a number of requests to publish a club roster with contact information so that members can reach each other to set up workouts, etc. outside of the email list. For privacy reasons, I don't feel comfortable sending this information out to everyone without permission. Therefore, I created a Zoomerang survey by which you can opt into the roster.

If you want to, you can visit the link below, fill in the information you want to appear on the roster, and submit it to me. After the survey closes, I will gather the responses and send them out only to the other members who have opted in. This means that only those members who opt into the roster will receive copies of the final roster; people who do not opt in will not receive the roster.

If you're interested in having your name and contact information included in the club roster, please visit the link below and complete the survey:
