Weekly Update 8/02/21

Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates, and our community.


Another challenging and exciting triathlon race in the books for SBCA at the Republic Tiger Tri. This multisport event included three different disciplines swimming, cycling, and running, and it was great to see all the SBCA athletes crushing it. 


We want to hear your stories. How does racing shape your life? Your perspective on the race? Is there an experience that stands out? We’ll read every response, but nothing will be shared without your permission. Shot Stephanie an email stephs090386@gmail.com 


The last poker run of the season was Thursday, and it did not disappoint.  We want to shout to our running chair member Rachel who did an amazing job running this event.


The AWC #2 2021 will be held on September 10th. Usual drill. Start and finish at SBC. 100 miles. 50-60'ish as the sunsets. 40 in the moonlight. Moving average is usually 16-17 mph'ish. Faster in the daylight, then slows up nicely at night. 









Continuing items of importance:

The team store will close on August 11th. The estimated ship date is September 23rd.  Link to teams store here 


We need volunteers to help with a youth bike maintenance class at the Fairbanks Bike Shop. This is a great way to give back to the community and youth in the area. Please reach out to Stephanie Snow ( Stephs090386@gmail.com ) or Jason Stratton ( jason@blackriverimaging.com ) if you can help. 


It has been a while since we offered PEDAL Industries SBC kit bags. No minimum order number is required.  The pro bag is the newest bag offered by PEDAL Industries. You can also get your name added to it for customization. There is also now a "changing poncho" that is offered on the website.


December 13th Fleet Feet Springfield extends a 10% discount on electronics and a 15% discount on in-store products to SBC Athletics. So be sure you mark your calendars. 


Tour de Rock is offering SBCA a 20% discount for registration with code SBCA2021 Link to Registration.


Pirate Perry Events is now offering SBCA 10% off of their events. There are a few exceptions on a few events; those races they don't direct or own but are posted on their website. The code is "SBCA 10off".  Link to Events 


Look for the Classic Beer Mile on the regular. It will be coming up every 3rd Saturday of the month. The next one will be on June 19th. Tell your beer-drinking/running friends. Also, look for new and better prizes! The information below is in "Upcoming."


Are you and a bunch of teammates headed to a big event? An Ultra, a big gravel race, triathlon, or volunteering for a trail workday? Wouldn't some SBC beer afterward be refreshing? Would you like to take along some SBC Brews to share? Contact Neil. He will hook you up. 


Join SLACK. It is the best way to keep in touch with teammates and coordinate group activities. 


SBC Bar tape is finally in and available again. If you ordered a set, you could pick it up at the front desk at SGB- $25 cash only. 


If you would like a commemorative brick to celebrate an athletic milestone, get in touch with Neil. These are really cool and stand as a lasting reminder of your epic achievement.
