Well, HELLO!

  We have been super busy since we last blogged.. Between cabin fever, training day, ride out loud, and the start of the race season, we have been going NON- STOP.  Can you believe it's almost JULY?  Yikes!

In the Blog this Month:

2023 Championship Race Series

  • Falmouth Tri- This amazing FLAT and FAST tri is July 9th- if you want in, you need to sign up in the next 48 hours!  Get in, and have a blast!
  • Nantucket Tri- If you like the vibe of the Cohasset Tri, and are looking for a vacation/race thing, sig up for Nantucket!
  • Whaling City- We will be showing up in full force for this one- stay tuned for team info on how BSTT will try their BEST to win the #1 team award this year!
  • Sea to Summit- This small scale adventure race will be on July 22nd, and we have a group of Bay Staters who will be competing.. it's more like "how we are spending the day"- so fun, self supported, what a challenge!
  • Sharon Tri- We will be at Sharon on August 13th- not sure if Zach will be organizing a pre-race training day on the course?  We will have the tent set up with BREAKFAST!!!  More to come on this.
  • Cranberry- Always a great time, Cranberry Sprint or Oly- August 19-20..
  • PilgrimMan- We have a few relay teams for the Half!  Lots of you have expressed an interest in this rolling hill fun event- see you there!
  • Buzz Bay- My "Hometown" race- the only one that doesn't take me an hour to get to LOL...  This marks the end of the season.  If you are competing for the top spot in your Age Group, this event may be the arena for the final points.. best of luck to you all!  Buzzards Bay also has a team challenge, and we hope to bring home the boot here, too!
Darcey's Bay State PICNIC!  

Introducing the Baystate Picnic! Hoping this will be an exciting and intriguing opportunity for our team. Below I have included a humorous bunch of slides to walk you through the event as well as two links for registration. One is for the sign up and one is for a volunteer sign up, should you wish to support.
Saturday, September 23rd, Thornton NH at the Owl's Nest Resort. It's a long endurance day (9 hour max) with a swim, a bike, a hike, a bike back to the resort and a run around the lake. We have partnered with Owl's Nest to put on a special reception for us with pizzas, salads, apps and refreshing drinks. (No alcohol included) Tried to keep costs down to pay for venue/reception/t-shirt/medal. I'm sure there will be many questions so feel free to comment or message me directly. We do have a limit for participants, so please sign up early!  LINK

End of Season Party

The 2023 End of Season Party will be held on Saturday, October 21st- and it's a Halloween themed  evening event!  I cannot WAIT to see you all there as we PARTY DOWN, celebrating the accomplishments of all of you!   

In addition, we will award:

  • All Age Group Champions- Stay tuned for the 2023 Age Group Champ BIKE JERSEY
  • Volunteers- raffle for those who volunteered
  • Volunteer of the Year
  • Special Recognition Awards (you nominate these)
  • Weekend Warriors (if you did a Sat/Sun race weekend)
  • THE BIKE GIVEAWAY, a WETSUIT GIVEAWAY, and a LEG COMPRESSION MACHINE GIVEAWAY (courtesy of Healing Art Chiro)
  • All members who attend the party also get exclusive party SWAG!
The end of season party registration will be sent to you via email as the summer winds down. For now, keep it as a "Save the Date" in your calendar.  

BSTT Endurance Threads GEAR- Store is open until July 4th- get what you need!  30% off- Use GOBAYSTATE as discount code.

Can you believe we are 5 races in on the CRS Calendar for 2023?  I can't!

Good afternoon, BSTTies and a very happy Friday to you all! It's been an AMAZING season. YOU all have really stepped up your game- I think this has been an EPIC year for volunteering, competing, challenging yourselves with racing and training.. You all have SHOWN UP this season, and that's awesome. We have two races left on the Championship Race Series, and I cannot believe that we are a week away from SEPTEMBER!!!! Next up is PilgrimMan - this will be a great race- if you have not signed up yet, and are thinking you want to do a rolling sprint or later season half, this race is for you. Not racing and want to check it out? Volunteer! After that, we have Buzzard's Bay Tri - this is going to be the end of season race for us, so I will be there with Johnnie and Patty grillin and chillin after the race. Please consider registering for this one to come be a part of a HUGE wave of Red White and Blue! The DISCOUNT CODE BAYSTATEMAX23 12% is valid until next week. Congrats...
