Seven cool events. One awesome shirt. |

A New Challenge
We wanted to help provide our members with a fun goal to include in their 2012
season. We were inspired by the Rudy Award but wanted something a little
less hard core. The club already had a bunch of fun, free events so the
list has been expanded to help in creating this special challenge.

Meet OTiS!

How to Earn The OTiS
- Make sure NOW that your 2012 calendar includes
the necessary number of events.
- Complete one event in each of these 7 sports:
swimming, biking, running, duathlon, aquathon, triathlon,
pentathlon.
- Any organized event counts including free OTC
ones or those you pay registration fees for.
- The free OTC events allow you to save on entry
fees but still have the excitement and achievement of race day.
They're also short in duration and won't otherwise affect any other
training goals.
- All you have to do is track your events and
submit them to us to make it official.
- The awards will be presented with much pomp and
circumstance at our annual Christmas party.

Trophy, Trinket, Tattoo?
Beyond the obvious status involved (!) we had all kinds of ideas as to how to reward those that earned The OTiS.
We came back to something we knew you might actually like and make some use
of: a stylish and soon-to-be much revered OTiS Finisher's Shirt.
Here are the OTC free events but, remember, any organized event counts
towards The OTiS!

About The Name
Originally it was 'The OTiÇ', created from our club name. That little accent
makes the 'C' soft so it's pronounced like an 'SSSS'. Then we made two
realizations: a) we didn't want to have to explain that accent every time we
used the word and, b) the list of events involved numbered 7 and seven starts
with an 'S'. Voila: The OTiS is born! PS We decided to go with the
lower case 'i' because we think it makes the name look more edgy. |
