Have you heard about the Speedo Challenge? The Club's President Elect Irwin Tani has thrown down a challenge to get 100 Club members to the 2012 Member Race list with their 2012 race plans. Multiple submissions by the same member counts as one. If the century mark is filled by 11:59 CDT on April 29th, he will wear a Speedo (and only a Speedo!) at a sprint or olympic distance triathlon this summer. And the Club members get to pick the Speedo! Follow the "Let others know..." link below to add your name and races. As of this newsletter, the number is just over 50!

Featured Event: Big Shark's Eads Bridge Duathlon
Our current featured event is a brand new race for St Louis on Sunday April 22nd. This duathlon starts off with an out-and-back 1.5 mile run towards the Illinois side on a CLOSED course on the Eads Bridge, before taking off north on Broadway for a 10 mile bike, before finishing with another CLOSED course 1.5 mile run on the Eads Bridge. Did we mention the closed course yet? Wow!
Why should you sign up for this race? In this great season-opening race you'll get to see a few of St Louis' historic locations--The Eads Bridge and LaClede's Landing. It's also great to have a duathlon (don't see many of those on the calendars) right here in St Louis. Further, the race is organized and managed by our sponsor Big Shark, which means you get a discount on the registration!
