2005 Events in review:
Glass City Water Stop- Organized by Kraig Kirby and awarded the best stop by race participants.
Special Olympics- Organized by Rob Loeb at Central Catholic in May. TT has been involved for 15 years helping this 8 county regional meet with timing, announcing and “catching” participants.
Taste of the Town- TT’s largest fundraiser. Volunteers coordinated by Ann Fleck (the old B!$ch). Earned $4,000 this year for four days of work. Incredibly hot/humid, but we had good numbers. Red TT shirts were a hit. Great time for fun, people watching, music, and of course food!
Summer workout programs- Track nights went well with Coach Jon. Need more individualized workouts for newbies. Swims were a raving success with great attendance. The Raffoul’s organized Time Trials and were successful in bringing out racers. Needed more folds to man corners.
TT Grant- Awarded to Nate Russell after submitting an essay, board (excluding Nate) voted, awarded $500, and requested a race report. Nate used funds to participate in the Hawaiian Ironman. Grant intended to help TT members develop and pursue activities for achievement. Jeremy to chair the grant committee and needs volunteers.

Race Uniforms- Joyce Donaldson organized purchase of 1pc/2pc race suits. Members purchased for around $100 and were reimbursed if they raced 3 MERCRS races and Championships in Indy. Still a few pieces left for purchase.
MERCRS- Mideast Region in largest/ most active including 5 states. Joyce, Jeremy, Jeff had a committee to target a few races to maximize points. After Kalamazoo, and Ft. Wayne, TT came in 3rd and won $400. Ginger Dankert scores all races (thanks you!!) and found winning the region all comes down to the Indy Championship.
Chili Cook-off- Kraig and Jamie Kirby organized. After fierce competition, Jeff DeGross won AGAIN and got a free TT membership! Held at Roadhouse Tavern. Large TV for Kona IM viewing was broken, but owner promises to have fixed if we come back next year.
Winter Bike Fit and Expo- Awarded Tom Demerly with the “Extra-mile award” for traveling in the black ice to do 27 bike fits without his partner! Great turnout by local vendors selling races Equipment and having demo’s for new products. Next year will have a small change, where new members or those not ever having a fit will have the first opportunity to signup. Any members who had in 2005 and wants another will fill the rest of the slots.
Troy Jacobson Spinnervals- 40 members participated in this lecture/workout at the Blvd. Church of Christ. Thanks to Joyce who organized the event and was our Troy contact. Membership really enjoyed having him.
