USAT College Nationals

[awcarpenter]

I would like to compete in the 2008 College Nationals at the University of Alambama. I am not exactly sure when it is, but I do know that we need to beomce a USAT club. So I was kind of wanting to see what everything thought about that and if anybody would want to do this with me. I know all of yall are busy so and that your main dedication is to cycling. I would be happy to head up getting us as a club. Just let me know

So for those that were in the meeting know, Nationals is at University of Alabama. It will be some time in aprilish. It is a 1.5K swim, 40k bike, 10k run. So it will be exciting. There are a couple of things that we need to do before but we still have some time on them.

Do you have to qualify for them?

[awcarpenter]

Not to my knowledge, you just have to meet the qualification that I said in the meeting about being a full time student

College Nationals are April 19th, let me know if you want to go. So I can get a tenative list

[joeschwiet]

who all is doing this?  follow this link to register, but i want to know who all is going before I register http://www.usatriathlon.org/UsatEvents/NationalChampionships/CollegiateNationals.aspx

[ThePrez]

and don't register yet, because the team is paying for it.

[joeschwiet]

and I think they require waivers from the university

[awcarpenter]

they do and we have standard forms from the University

[joeschwiet]

we will need to know who (full time student) is available and interested in racing this event on April 19, packet pick up is Friday the 18.  As of today (Sunday) registration is 95% full that means there are only 50 slots left.  You must be a USAT annual member.  To obtain membership visit https://www.usatmembership.com/default.aspx

I have created a team account for University of Houston on active.com  I setup a password and team code for us to register with when we know who is participating.
