Remember, regardless of speed, you can rack up points just by participating in more races.  Also, its possible, there will be less than 10 athletes in your race so you would automatically get speed points regardless of time.    You can join the contest at any time but you will not be given points for races you finished before joining (an exception will be Shamrock since we are announcing this late).     We will tally points after each race.   The top ten athletes in the contest (male and female) will be recognized at our end of the year awards banquet.  You must be a paid member to participate and be eligible for awards at the banquet.

If you want to participate, just email your name to raceresults@pdxtriclub.org
Remember if you race under a different name (such as Rebecca vs Becky) be sure to send us the name as we will find it in the results. 
Also, as you complete races, you should also send an email to the address above so we know to look up your ranking.  We will send reminders. 

Speedsters, middle of the packers and back of the packers—The time is now to get involved! Racing is what we do.  Every distance is represented.  Even some off road.  Do one or do them all.  Join our contest and get out and race!

We have a new feature in our membership management program that we are excited to share with you. Our membership cards are now online, meaning, when you sign up or renew your membership, there will be a link with the email for you to print your own membership card. No more waiting by the mailbox for your new card!

Additionally, if you lose your current card, you may print copies at any time by logging in to your profile at https://www.123signup.com/profile?Org=pdxtriclub, go to the “Edit Profile” application to find the “Print Membership Card” button at the bottom of the screen.

I am sending out the last batch of membership cards tomorrow for anyone who signed up or renewed between last week and today.
