Molecular Fitness is a Sports and Nutrition Supplement company. They have a complete line of products that help to promote health at the molecular level by enhancing cellular connection and communication. The product that we are promoting for them is the SportConnexin electrolyte supplement. Every triathlete knows how important electrolytes are for performance. When you are lacking electrolytes during a race, you will suffer cramps, fatigue, and other problems. SportConnexin replaces essential minerals and also helps to maintain proper pH in the muscle to neutralize metabolic acids. You will perform better during your race and feel better after your race when using SportConnexin.

Visit Molecular Fitness online at www.molecularfitness.com.

STC members receive a 20% discount on SportConnexin when using our code. Check out the Members Only area of our website for the code to use when purchasing SportConnexin.

NeverReach is a local business out of Folsom, CA. They make and sell two seat-mounted hydration systems – The NeverReach Go! and the NeverReach Pro. You have probably seen the Pro system at races and events. Our own Barry Risberg uses the Pro system when he races. Pro is the most aerodynamic hydration system on the market today. It holds 64 ounces of liquid, so you can reduce the amount of time needed to refill or slow down at aid stations during a race. Pro has a quick-fill adapter to allow you to fill the container from a sport bottle in just a few squeezes.

Visit NeverReach online at www.neverreach.com.

STC members receive a 15% discount on the systems when using our code. Check out the Members Only area of our website for the code to use when purchasing the NeverReach Systems.

Sac Tri Club will be out competing in the Team competition and providing volunteers to support the event. Please contact KC if you can help out as a volunteer.

Thanks for supporting STC! See you on August 15.

Eric & his wife, Heather, have been great ambassadors to the sport. They regularly volunteered their time together at local events, including TBF races & STC’s Run Aid Station at the Auburn Triathlons. They attended many STC events this year, providing support & encouragement to their fellow Members.

Eric’s loss will be felt by all.

Heather & her family are in our thoughts at this very difficult time. Please keep her in your prayers.

This race marks the end of the 2010 TFR Series, and the BBQ will be held close to the finish line where athletes can still enjoy the awards ceremony. Whether you are racing or not, please come and enjoy this casual, social event. Wear or bring your STC Jersey for our annual club photo. STC will provide veggie burgers, hot dogs, buns, and beverages. Please bring a side dish big enough to share with a few people.

Option 1 – Simply pay a reduced $30 renewal fee by June 30th. The normal renewal dues are $35, so you save $5.00!

Option 2 – Pay $55 for your renewal and receive a 2010 STC Limited Edition 10th Anniversary Voler Jersey (while our current inventory lasts – “first come, first served”). This is the best value, renewal is normally $35 without a jersey.

If you have already renewed your membership for 2010, you may purchase a 2010 Limited Edition 10th Anniversary Voler Jersey for $25.00 (also while our current inventory lasts – “first come, first serve”).

All renewal forms can be found in our Membership area and payment can be made by check or credit card (cash is also an option if you want to arrange payment with a Board member). Active.com is not available for processing these reduced fee renewals; please use the paper forms and mail to the PO Box address on the form.

Your STC membership includes excellent benefits for all ability levels. The reserved bike racks at major local events are a favorite (one member noted that the bike racks alone are worth the membership fee!). We have an exceptional website, Yahoo! Groups discussion boards, member led workouts, clinics and fun social outings. Our membership includes a full-range of skill levels and knowledge, from elite Ironman competitors to newbie Super Sprint triathletes. You don’t have to swim, bike AND run; any of the three are welcome (great for relays) and you won’t find a better group anywhere with as many active members who are willing to share their knowledge and have fun at the same time.

Your STC Board is working very hard this year to meet the expectations and needs of all of our members and welcome your comments and suggestions for an even better STC. Please e-mail Sarah Kimball if you have comments, questions or need additional information. We will look forward to your 2010 membership renewal and seeing you soon!

You do not have to spend money to do this challenge. Aqua Sphere will
be donating money to two different charities. The men will be swimming
for prostrate cancer and the women will be swimming for breast cancer.
The money will be divided among the two charities based on who swims
more men or women.

The first step is to go to www.swimchallenge.org and register. During
the registration process it will ask you if you want to join a team.
Our team is Sac Tri Club of course. You will be asked for a code. The
code is "qqM71Tec". Once you join the team you can start logging your
swim times. Remember to log triathlon swims and swim meets as well.

Let’s make this interesting. There will be a special surprise from our
Swim Challenge coordinator, Bob Foiles, for the top male and female
swimmers from STC.  Let’s get swimming.

If you are active on STC’s Yahoo! Group, & have not yet renewed with STC for 2010, please do so! 2010 Membership covers 1/1/2010 through 12/31/10. Renewal is still only $35 for the whole year, & new membership is $55, including the new Jersey.
