| Greetings!
Race season is just around the corner, and we have some big announcements for this issue of the newsletter! Please follow the links below to view the 2012 Race List and input your races to see who else from the Club will be going too.
Below we also have the details for two of the Club's annual programs: The Acropolis Club Challenge and the 2012 Mentoring Program
Both programs are FREE to current Tri Club members.
Our next Club meeting will be a Club picnic on April 29th in Creve Coeur Park. Previously held in July, the picnic is a great way to meet other club members, learn about tri-related events, and get away from training for some fun! Our social coordinator is looking for some assistance in planning the picnic, if you would like to help out please contact Angie at social@stlouistriclub.com

2012 Race List and Planning
We've been putting together a comprehensive list of local and major races for Club members to use in planning their race season. Information includes websites, race distances, discount information, and more. Races designated as part of the 2012 Acropolis Club Challenge and Destination Races are indicated in the list.
We did our best to list accurate and complete information, but please remember this is a guide for planning and all info should be verified before you register. We've included links on the Submit An Event page of the website to submit more races as well as a link for corrections. If you see an error or blank box, please help us fix it by sending the info to us.
As you plan out your season, use follow the link below to let other Club members know your race plans. With this list, you'll be able to learn who else is doing the same race. Adding your name to this list will help the Tri Club Board determine which races will become the 2012 Destination Races! We will have those final details in the next newsletter, and we will start marking those races in the 2012 Race List as they are designated.
