USAT Race Director Conference

Posted: January 18th, 2009 | Author: Chris Bowerbank | Filed under: Miscellaneous | No Comments »

Four of TriUtah’s staff just returned from the USA Triathlon Race Director Symposium/Conference in Colorado Springs, CO. It was a great opportunity for us to hear what’s new and upcoming in triathlon, meet with potential sponsors, learn about new USAT initiatives and the strategic plan, and network with race directors across the country.

After listening to keynote and guest speakers for two days, we have multiple pages of notes to pour over and absorb as we work to improve TriUtah events. Technology is certainly evolving, and triathlon is no exception. We heard from one race director who is able to contact nearly all of his participants using text messaging. He’s located in a part of the country where severe weather is commonplace, and it’s important that he be able to send immediate updates to the athletes. We took lots of notes and will be looking into similar technology for TriUtah races.

There’s lots to do between now and our first race of the season. Attending the USAT RD symposium is one way that we’ve found that improves our ability to serve and protect our athletes by consistently improving the overall race preparation and execution.

As technology evolves, so must TriUtah. In order to provide you with the most up-to-date information, the TriUtah staff will be posting Frequently Asked Questions, as well as periodic event updates for our events.

We also intend for this to be a great place for our athletes to post their comments and questions, with answers that all of our athletes can benefit from.
