What makes the difference between champions and those who 
falter and go home with nothing more than memories? What inner drive or training strategy gives the very best their edge? Mark Allen describes the transformation from a strong showing into a winning competitive performance through his own personal experience in his years as a professional triathlete and 6-time winner of the Hawaii Ironman World Championship. His newest book, The Art of Competition, truly itself a work of art, will be available for purchase and signing by its author.
We deviate from our normal Thursday meeting in June!
SB Tri Club is so pleased to welcome Triathlon Legend, Julie Moss as our featured speaker for our June Meeting.
Julie Moss, a passionate surfer (not previously drawn to competitive sports), embarked on a day in 1982 that would give first-hand insight to her graduate work, a thesis on training and physiological requirements of endurance sports. Little did she know, her race, her heart would impact the sport of triathlon with the most epic finish in Triathlon history.SB Tri Club invites you to welcome and be inspired by Julie Moss.

We have an incredibly special guest lined up for our April meeting!
Recognized the world over as the “Voice of IRONMAN,” Mike Reilly has called over 180 IRONMAN events, including 30 straight years of the World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i. More than 350,000 athletes have heard his iconic pronouncement, “You are an IRONMAN!” as they crossed the finish line.
Every one of those athletes has a story, and Mike has heard hundreds of them. Ever passionate about the sport and its participants, he listened closely as they poured out remarkable tales that illuminate the human capacity for triumphing over seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Mike is coming to SB Tri to talk about some of those stories, from his new book, MIKE REILLY: Finding My Voice. He’ll have copies available for SB Tri members to buy and which he’ll be happy to sign. If you already have a copy, he’ll sign that!
Save the Date - you will NOT want to miss this! Dinner included!

About the book:
Crawl of Fame: Julie Moss and the Fifteen Feet that Created an Ironman Triathlon Legend
In 1982, Julie Moss ran the Ironman triathlon for her college senior research project. Her idea was quirky, even crazy; only a handful of hardcore, highly trained enthusiasts competed in the little-known, 140.6-mile combination of swimming, cycling, and running. Julie brought no experience or appreciable training beyond running two marathons. She did bring a latent willpower that, the world soon found out, wouldn’t be denied. What happened next changed Ironman forever . . .
After becoming the unlikely leader during the marathon, the final leg of the Ironman, Julie fell and lost all bodily function fifteen meters (50 feet) from the finish. While on hands and knees, she watched her rival pass her. Thirty seconds later, she crawled across the line?stunning the millions who were watching on television. At age twenty-three, Julie became the instant global icon, and the public face of fitness and endurance sports ? which exploded in popularity, partly because of her inspiration. That this young co-ed would represent such a new sport was unlikely. That she would inspire millions to change the courses of their lives in the three decades years since was unthinkable. Yet, it happened.
Crawl of Fame is the long-awaited release of her incredible story. Julie describes how she found her greater purpose while lying across the finish line at Ironman 1982 ? and how that greater purpose as a woman, athlete, endurance sports symbol and, now, iconic figure has defined her life and inspired others since.
Join us for our 3rd Formal Club meeting! Food is provided and we'll be featuring guest speaker Nutritionist Chris Latham who will be discussing important aspects of nutrition for athletes. Please join us!
Save the date! Full details coming soon! We'll enjoy dinner, a club update and announcements and hear from a great guest speaker!
