ommitment is a word used all too loosely these days.
In this instance, however, it is used with conviction.
The Midwest Region is committed to the growth of
our sport in and around our region. To prove this, we have
devoted a large portion of our 2010 regional budget to
fund our new Regional Athletic Development Coordinator,
Jenny Weber. Jenny will be reaching out to coaches in our
region in order to staff free youth clinics and other activities
in every state of the Midwest Region. These clinics are
meant to educate young people on the lifelong benefits of
the Multisport lifestyle, while promoting USA Triathlon as
a resource for the future. If you are a USAT certified coach
or youth athlete and wish to learn more about how you
can get involved or participate, contact Jenny at jenny@
getzoomperformance.com.
The second level of commitment the Midwest Region is
engaged in for 2010 is a joint funding project with Mideast
Region. Our two regions cover the Midwest Collegiate
Triathlon Conference, a branch of USAT funded by students
and contributors. The Midwest and Mideast regions were
approached by the conference for funding in 2010. They
supplied a solid presentation, budget and goal structure,
and both the Midwest and Mideast regional councils voted
to budget and split the funding cost in 2010. This funding is
pending final approval from the USAT National Office. It is
our region’s belief this investment will benefit the Midwest
region through future growth and development within the
sport.
If you have questions about Midwest regional budgeting
and fund allocation, please contact a member of our
council.

ust when the cold and snow of winter are about to get the best of you, two expos in
the Mideast Region warm you up. Every year at the end of January, the Team Toledo
Triathlon club hosts its annual Triathlon Expo. The 2010 Team Toledo Triathlon Expo
will happen January 23 at the Boulevard Church of Christ, 7041 W. Sylvania Ave. It is open
to the public and admission is free. Come meet over 20 local vendors, such as Dave’s
Running Shop, Saucony, the Glass City Marathon and American Home Fitness, showcasing
services and products that help you make the most of your multisport lifestyle. Are you
ready to race? Bring your bike and enjoy a free Computrainer ride (advance sign-up is
required). Ride a course along with up to three friends and see who wins. With advance
registration, Team Toledo members can take advantage of a free bike fit from a local bike
shop. Not a member? Join online at Team Toledo’s website or in person at the Expo.
The 3
rd
annual YMCA Endurance Symposium at the Second Presbyterian Church, located
at 7700 North Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Ind., will take place on February 20, 2010.
The Symposium offers both experienced triathletes and those looking to take on their
first event the chance to talk with USAT-certified coaches, race directors, and vendors
of multisport gear. The focus is growing and fostering excitement about triathlons. Last
year, nearly 36 exhibitors had booths at the expo, and 2008 Olympian Sarah Haskins made
a special appearance to talk about her approach to multisport training.
If you have questions about the upcoming expos, check out Team Toledo’s website at
www.teamtoledo.com or email Doug Robinson at
