Marc Pro is the EMS unit used by the United Healthcare Cycling Team & on the Tour de France Bus to help athletes recover faster. I’ve been using the medical grade version of this unit (H-Wave) with my PT patients for years with excellent results, & can attest to its benefit. Marc Pro is the over-the-counter version product intended for muscle recovery. But it uses the same 4 lead/2-channel & low frequency settings as the medical grade device.

STC Members are eligible for a 5% off ($32.50) unit purchase price of $649. Check it out: http://marcpro.com/. Just enter this code at check-out: sactriclub.

The $649 price tag may sound high. But as compared with similar products (Compex Sport Elite Muscle Stimulator)at $850, the Marc Pro’s a great value.

I have one of my own & swear by it.

Disclaimer: I receive no compensation from Mark Pro. I have just seen excellent results with patients & athletes I used it on, including me, & wanted to share. So I invited them to be a Sponsor & to offer Marc Pro at discount for our Members.

We will hold a raffle for great prizes provided by the vendors and a few others that STC will be providing. We will have more information on Monday evening regarding prizes and other event details.

So, mark your calendar and plan on attending this event with STC and your fellow triathletes. If you haven’t renewed your membership, the STC 2012 Kick-off Party is a perfect time to do it.

To get started, log into your Member account, click the “My Account” link on the top right of your page, then click “Choose file” next to “Avatar Image” and upload a picture from your computer (must be a .jpg file).

Give it a go and let us know what you think.

Voler has extended STC’s Order deadline to 2/13.

You will notice that Voler has grouped all tri-specific gear into a single category. This is to help us meet their minimum. STC will be adding 20 or so jerseys to the order, so we will definitely fill the Tri-Apparel Category.

At this point it does not look like we will fill the Bottoms/Long Sleeve categories, which are considered Cycling Apparel. In that case, Voler will cancel individual orders in un-met categories, & not bill Members’ Cr Cards.

STC’s Official Club Jersey is the Women’s/Men’s Tri Race Top, made from Voler’s newest Tech material & replacing the Sleeveless Tri Jersey. It still has the 2 pockets in back. Color/logo theme remains unchanged from 2011, our current kit. Cost is $75.35.

Prices shown online include tax & shipping.

ORIGINAL POST – January 12, 2012

The Online Ordering System for our next Club order was just set up by Voler. The new order deadline is January 30th February 13th for delivery on March 23rd.

Visit Voler’s custom order page for Sacramento Triathlon Club to get started.

For account set-up, see Voler’s instructions on ordering online.

Each Member needs to set up a personal account with Voler to place their Individual order, even though it’s part of a Team Order. One nice change this time: Voler will ship each order to the address of the Member placing their Custom Order (no more shipping to us and arranging for pick-up!).

Remember, the minimums in each category need to be met for that category to be filled: Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve and Bottoms. STC will fill the Short Sleeve category by ordering our membership Jerseys. But the other categories depend on member orders. So please place your orders early! Then we can monitor progress of each category and avoid whole categories being cancelled. If a category minimum is not met, Voler will cancel the category & not bill each person’s Cr Card items ordered within that category. They will only bill for items in categories whose Mins have been met.

STC encourages all members to purchase our team kits for training and racing to show your support of STC!

Logo: The logo and kit will remain the same as our most recent order from Kickoff Party back in April (white and blue base with our updated red/blue logo).

Please note: Since all Voler items are made custom they can not be returned or exchanged. All sales are final. Please read through the descriptions carefully to make sure you get exactly the items you want. Please also use the sizing chart provided by Voler to determine the correct size.

This may be our only for the year, so please take the opportunity to purchase your STC items now. We don’t want anyone to miss out!

Please contact me at president@sactriclub.com or Mike at sponsorship@sactriclub.com if you have questions about ordering.

Happy Shopping!

9:00 a.m. start at Granite Beach (Folsom Lake State Recreation Area) – Meet At The Swim Beach Parking Lot.

Let’s get together for an awesome day at granite beach for a workout and a potluck picnic lunch get together! The workout is whatever you want. It could be a bike / trail run brick – or just a trail run or whatever you like. Everyone can do their own workout at whatever pace they like and then meet back at the picnic tables to hang out together and have some yummy pot luck lunch.

This is a great opportunity to catch up with STC Tri friends and hang out together.

Potluck lunch – bring something to share. Post what you are bringing so we can coordinate. Let’s plan on bbq-ing too.

Your workout: Post what workout you think you might do so others can join you in the fun if they like.

If you have questions – either post on the discussion board or email Kirsten (who’s coordinating the event) at: Kirsten@LewisFamily.US

Hope to see you there!
