By: Riptide Multisports

Riptide Multisports is excited for the upcoming 2009 season. Our first planned event of the year for our elite triathletes will be the Lima ITU Triathlon Pan American Cup. This event will take place in Lima, Peru, on March 29^th and will function as a springboard toward greater success at the ITU Continental Cup and World Cup levels.

The Riptide Swim team will be represented well at swimming sectionals in Federal Way, Washington State. We will be sending five swimmers, including: Linley Wendt, Christian Treat, Michael Bennett, Andy Nelson, and Jeremy Erbsen. This meet features the best swimmers in their respective regions as it sets strict qualifying standards to enter, with even tougher odds to make the finals. This meet takes place March 11-15, 2009.

Our Youth and Junior Elite triathletes have also been busy in the pool and on the trainers as they prepare for the 2009 Junior Cup series. We anticipate extensive participation from this group and great results.

In other news, we look forward to announcing our 2009 sponsors as we finalize talks with potential businesses.
