2011 SUTC Jersey Announcement!!!

Attention SUTC Triathletes,

We are excited to announce the new design for our 2011 club jerseys! This years jerseys will be manufactured by Sugoi. This is the same company as last years jerseys. For the price, we are extremely happy with the quality they provide. Just as like last year, this years jersey is another spin on the Black and Green of the SUTC colors. There is no doubt you will be looking stylish in our new 2011 SUTC jerseys!

It was great to see other SUTC athletes wearing the club jerseys last year. Easy to spot and easy to cheer. The jerseys help differentiate us from other clubs and give us a great club presence. It also allows us show the support of our great local sponsors who are featured on our jerseys. Let us express that a jersey purchase is not required to be a member of SUTC.

We are happy again to announce that this years custom tri jersey is a fantastic price of only $40.00. It is important to note that the jerseys are custom, so they do come in a Men's cut and a Women's cut. This is important to note when placing your order. We will be also taking orders for tri shorts, tri (one piece) suits, cycling jerseys and cycling bibs. Here is the link to view a sizing chart for Sugoi. http://www.sugoi.com/usa/eng/fit . From our experience with last years jerseys, the tri tops tend to run on the smaller size. We recommend sizing up one size if there are any questions. As far as the cycling jersey, these are more true on size. If there are any additional questions about the sizing, please feel free to contact me. Here are the following sizes and prices per type:

Custom Sugoi 2011 Fuel Tri Top - $40 (Sizes XS-XXXL) Women's & Men's cut, please note on order.

Scofield Tri 2010

Attention all SUTC members, be on the lookout for a few escapees! Congratulations to all the SUTC members who competed in the 2010 Scofield Tri. The Scofield Tri is composed of four distances: Kids, Sprint, Olympic and Escape. The Escape being composed of a 1.7 mile swim from an island, a ruthless 40 miles bike ride of which most of it is climbing (feel like doing Sand Hollow hill for 20 miles or so? Wait that would be easier.), followed up with a 10 mile run. Oh yeah don't for get to do it starting at 7,739 feet of elevation. The Escape makes all other halfs look like a walk through the daisys.

Weather was good for the Scofield Tri, slightly warmer, but overcasted for most the day. One of the neat things about this Tri is the opportunity to camp with family and friends. The camping was great and so was the tempratures at night. This is a great family oriented triathlon. The following is a list of notable finishers.

Escape Distance

Colleen Rue - First Place Division
Breanna Nelson - First Place Division
Matt Bracken - First Place Division

Olympic Distance

Lindsey Merrill - Second Place Overall
Ryan Duckworth - First Place Division

Sprint Distance

Rory Duckworth - Thrid Place Division
Tiffany Gust - Second Place Division
Kelly Duckworth - First Place Division

Showdown at Sundown 2010

Here are some pics, highlights and standings from the Showdown at Sundown at Lake Las Vegas. This race offered Sprint, Olympic and Half Iron distances. We had club members participating in the Olympic and the Half Iron. The day was SUPER windy and SUPER fun!




















Breanna Nelson took 1st place Overall Female in the Olympic distance with a time of 2:32:08! Way to go Breanna!















Jason Wells put in a great race with a total Half Iron distance time of 5:45:58. Here he is still smiling on the bike!















Matt Bracken placed 3rd in his age group with a total Half Iron time of 5:18:59. Don't forget to support Matt in his St. George Ironman fundraising competition, raising funds for Limbs for Haiti.















And lastly, I managed to grab 1st place in my age group with a total time of 5:53:35. My husband was able to get some great swim shots from the spectator-friendly shoreline.

Good Times!

All right! So as promised, I am finally highlighting and posting some pictures of tri club members and the events in which we participate!
