Minutes, 2008 February 4

Meeting 2/4/2008

Superbowl Fundraiser

Stories?
How did it go?

We made
about $2,300

Don't
forget to turn $ back in

Nationals Report:

We have 20
spots and more than 25 paid or committed

Since we
cannot take everyone who wants to go, we need EVERYONE to evaluate their
reasons for going

Why would
YOU want to go to nationals?

1)
Fun

2)
First Olympic Triathlon

3)
Compete nationally

4)
Meet athletes from other schools

5)
Have an "A" race

6)
Being with whole team

7)
Results for fundraising

8)
Traveling

9)
Race against your peers

How has the
USAT policy change changed our expectations for this race?

2) Very few
athlete will be racing this race for their first Olympic

3) The competitive pool is MUCH more competitive

6) The whole
team cannot go

9)
Truthfully, top 20 from teams all over the US doesn't really define
"peers"

How can the
other expectations be met without nationals?

1) Havasu
and Saguaroman (aka Tricats Nationals) are going to be a BLAST!

4) CU
Boulder, CSU, ASU, NAU, and Airforce Academy will be at Havasu!

(we are
camping and hanging out together! Yeah spring break!)

5) Have
your "A" race at Havasu or Saguaroman

7) Get
subsidized for Havasu or Saguaroman in EQUAL PROPORTION as would have been for
nationals.

8) Road
trip to Havasu!!

We need everyone to take a look at their personal goals and
PM Makko with their position on nationals.
