Registration open for TREK Triathlon
Registration has opened for the new TREK Women’s Triathlon Series, scheduled for May 17 in Austin.
No, I didn’t mean the Danskin Women’s Triathlon, although the new race sounds suspiciously like that Austin mainstay. I’ve participated in the Danskin event several times, and love the welcoming, supportive environment, especially for first-timers.
Like the Danskin triathlon, the TREK triathlon will be staged at Walter E. Long Park at Decker Lake. It’s a sprint-distance event, with a half-mile swim, 12-mile bike and 5K run. It starts at 7 a.m. on May 17. And Sally Edwards, long the public spokeswoman for the Danskin triathlon, has jumped ship to TREK.
Registration for the TREK event is $75 for individual entry or $145 for a relay team. For more information or to register, go to http://www.trekwomenstriathlonseries.com. For more information, email info@trekwomenstriathlonseries.com or call 877-221-9665.
Danskin has not yet announced a 2009 series schedule. For the latest update, go to http://www.danskin.com/triathlon.html.

Sally Edwards “jumped ship” for the money. It was and is all about having her company and her coaches be the exclusive training supplier for the race series. It was that way in 2008, with her threatening lawsuits again other coaching companies, and the money and exclusitivity was there for her to go to Trek in 2009. Don’t kid yourself it was for the charity or the “women” — follow the $$$.

I heard it was Danskin who jumped ship and that they are partnering with SheRox - that they sold the series??????

It wasn’t due to money. Sally is never or ever has been “all about money”. Check out the USAT newest article on her reasons for going on board with the Trek Series. Sally was the spokeswoman for the series. It is unfortunate to hear such lies. Sally is always and always has been out to help women across the world.
