Hey CHAMP Dudes...I have a few questions, Pal, about this Border War thing.
  • "I Live alone...I train alone...I don't need nobody on my team!"  Do I have to be a tri club member to participate?   Nope...You can race as an
    independent.  The team scores will be based on your state residency.

  • The Series thing ain't for me, man...Do I have to be a part of that goofy series thing?  Nope...anyone can enter...and non-series members can affect the
    scoring as well.

  • If Ohio wins the Border Battle "Cup" or whatever prize there is...Who gets it and where will it go?   CHAMP will get it and pawn it for gas...just kidding...
    the triathlon club with the most members participating will be awarded the award on behalf of the state.  It is up to the club representative at that
    point of where the award will be.

  • I am not a part of "Tri Club"...but rather I am part of a Triathlon "TEAM"...is this still considered a "club?"  Yep...club...team...it's all a very similiar type of
    thing.  So a "team" (as opposed to a "club") can take home the award and be represented
