Elsmore Swim Wetsuit Rental Program:

We have partnered with Elsmore Aquatic to introduce and promote the new TYR Hurricane wetsuit rental and purchase program for our triathlon athletes.  Elsmore has retail locations in Apple Valley and Minnetonka.

TYR, the official USTA / USA Swimming sponsor, has worked with Andy Potts to develop the most advanced triathlon wetsuit – the Hurricane.   The Hurricane line-up features three levels:  C-1, C-3 & C-5 to meet all levels.  The Hurricane features core stability for proper body positioning in the water, ROM Zones for better reach and flexibility, forearm catch panels and quick release ankle cuffs. The results are in: over 30 of the world’s top professional triathletes have already switched to the TYR Hurricane.

As a special promotion, Elsmore is offering a 25% discount on any Hurricane wetsuit rental or purchase for this years’ triathlon.  Please mention our triathlon to receive the discount.  In addition, Elsmore will apply all rental fees towards the purchase price of any new wetsuit within 30 days of the race. 

Please visit www.ElsmoreSwim.com or call Elsmore Aquatic at (952) 997-6255 in Apple Valley or (952) 935-7946 in Minnetonka for more information regarding the Hurricane wetsuit, rental or purchase and sizing.  Elsmore is a Speedo, TYR, Blueseventy and Nike Preferred Dealer.  They are one of the largest competitive swim dealers in the nation and received the TYR Dealer of the Year Award.

With last year's storm behind us, we are predicting good weather this year!

Mark Stange is the new Race Director, having served as Bike Coordinator for the past 12 years. Dan Conway is stepping down due to business obligations but remains on the race committee.

The Turtleman Triathlon is a volunteer/athlete-produced event. New committee members are needed to keep it so.  If interested in "giving back" drop Mark a line atmark.stange@uhc.com
