Hi All,
I am looking for people who would be interested in joining the Triabetes triathlon team for an upcoming event in the Bay Area--the Folsom Olympic Triathlon on August 9. I will post more info soon on this, but team members may receive a discount on entry fees. If you would be interested in racing or willing to volunteer, it will be a great event! Please discuss here or contact me personally for more information on joining Triabetes for this event. The event producer for Folsom has type 1 diabetes himself, and is a big fan of Triabetes. Come join us!

If you can't make the Folsom race, but would like to be part of our team, we are currently recruiting for people with diabetes to join our team. Anybody is welcome, from beginners--those who have never done a triathlon--to those with a few Ironman races under his/her belt! Or if you just think you might consider doing a triathlon someday, you are also welcome! We will hold periodic, local team training events to share tricks of the trade.

Cheers,
Anne Findlay

also, as a note, you don't have to do an Ironman to be part of Triabetes. General membership is open to people interested in all distances.
My 9 month old son has diabetes but my wife and I are triathletes living in Folsom. Let us know if you are going to do more Triabetes events and we might cross paths at a triathlon somewhere.
We will be doing San Jose International Tri as a team this year, and perhaps Folsom again, as well. Also, we have athletes doing other events individually. It would be great to meet you.

I am doing Napa Valley Sprint and Treasure Island Sprint. My wife is doing Treasure Island Olympic and Barb's Race 1/2 Iron. We live in Folsom and might do the Folsom Olympic...see you at one of them perhaps?
