TriRock Triathalon July 13th Aurora Reservoir
| New to the TriRock Triathlon Series, the inaugural TriRock Colorado Triathlon brings the Series excitement to the Rocky Mountains this summer. The touted Aurora Reservoir, located only 30 minutes southeast of Denver, plays host to triathlon events throughout the season. This is the closest to the beach that you can hope to get in Colorado; enjoy the pristine sand and clear water of this beach start, bike through meadows, run along the lake and finish at the recreation area finish venue with all the amenities you need and a rockin' finish festival. Event weekend features individual and relay options for both the Sprint and newly added Olympic distance.
Join in the fun at this inaugural event on Saturday, July 13, 2013

We will again be asking that everyone who swims at the pond volunteer a half session (1.25 hours) to help with the monitoring of the swimmers. Be watching for the emails from SignUp Genius asking for your help with this task.
sign up here
In addition, COMSA is in need of an Open Water Chair (or co-chairs) who will, among other things, coordinate the scheduling of the monitors. We had over 900 members participate last season at Chatfield, and each year this number increases. However, to keep this a successful activity, volunteer help is needed. If you are willing to coordinate monitors for one month of the five that we are open, maybe four others would also be interested. If you are willing to help with this, contact the COMSA chairperson, Brian Hoyt, (bkhoyt@gmail.com) , or Marcia Anziano, the registrar (Marcia.anziano@gmail.com) for more information and let them know that you are willing to help out. Please help COMSA make this another great summer at the pond.

Go The Distance 2013
|  "Go the Distance in 2013
Nike GTD is a self-directed program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. There's no time limit for the distance milestones, except that they must be achieved in the calendar year. Speed doesn't count-just the effort to attain whatever goal you set for yourself.
Nike GTD is on the honor system-you track the distance you swim. Daily, weekly, or monthly, enter that information into your online Fitness Log (FLOG). When you achieve certain milestones, you'll be recognized on the U.S. Masters Swimming website and receive special prizes from Nike Swim, our title sponsor for the event." USMS website
