Tri DNA Multisport welcomes Sports Basement Walnut Creek to the National Aquathlon Championships! Norma and her crew at Sports Basement have generously donated gift certificates and a shopping discount for all the athletes. In addition, they have offered to host packet pickup inside their store! If you haven't been (or don't have a Sports Basement close by), be prepared to be amazed. They offer the best range of athletic gear (including the latest triathlon equipment and apparel) at some amazing prices! One of the best things about "the Basement" is that is is a great hang out spot and community hub. They have classes and host activities and workouts. They also sponsor many great swim, tri, run, and bike clubs as well as several non profits. Check them out and preshop before race day at www.sportsbasement.com.

Synergy Racing Timing, based out of Sacramento California, will be the premiere race timer for the National Aquathlon Championships. They are nice enough to provide us with a great timing rate including multiple splits (for those of you who like lots of statistics). We want to make sure all of you who have worked so hard to race here in San Ramon qualify for World Championships fairly and with accurate results. If you happen to be a race director and need their services, check out Synergy Racing Timing at their website.

In very little time, San Ramon will be welcoming National Aquathlon athletes from all over the nation. Self dubbed the "biggest little race" in the Bay Area, athletes will make the trek in from their home states including Tennessee, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Virginia, Maine, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Chicago, Texas, North Carolina and of course all over California! Though aquathlon is still picking up popularity in the multisport realm, it is exciting to see these dedicated athletes spread all over the US.  All of us here at Tri DNA can't wait to meet everyone and welcome you to California and the wonderful city of San Ramon! Happy Travels!
