NATIONAL CLUB CHALLENGE Dec 2013-Feb 2014
It's that time of year again where we compete against other clubs in the nation to log the most swimming, biking, and running miles for Dec-Feb. All miles count for each month, but each month features a different sport where those miles are weighted heavier for more points. December is the swim month, January is the bike month, and February is the run month. If you want to join in on the fun, email Caren with your name, age, email, and USAT# and she will get you your logon info to track your miles. Check out how our club is doing with the Mileage Widget at the bottom of the page!
