TTC monthly news & updates

|
Whew, by any measure, it has been a big year for Triangle Triathlon club. We finished the year with 225 members. Our members had a significant presence on racecourses all around the Southeast, as well as at many IRONMAN events around the country. TTC hosted approximately 20 social events, several clinics, three sessions of our highly successful Beginner Training Program, five 50/100-mile supported rides, and about a dozen supported open water swim sessions. Our members also volunteered at several races including the Triangle Triathlon and participated in handful of fundraising activities for local charities.
Well, now it is time to celebrate our collective accomplishments. I hope you will join us on Sunday, December 8
th, 5-8PM at the Corner Tavern in Raleigh for our End of Season Extravaganza.

Update from T3 Tri Coaching
|
As we wind down the triathlon racing season for most, its time to transition into the post season and not the off season. During your post season, focus on strength and mobility and work on mechanics of your swim, bike, run. The post season is the perfect time to fix imbalances and improve your technique while building a solid base for the spring. Its also a great time to start planning next year so you have something to plan and train toward.
We are working on next years TTC Beginner Program as well as a longer Olympic / International offering. We are currently planning toward the Triangle Sprint (May 30), 3 Little Pigs Sprint (June 20), and Lake Logan International (Aug 2). If you are interested or would like to add some input into the planning process, drop Paul Sappie or myself a note or see us at the end of year party.

Will Your Current Auto Insurance
COVER YOU FULLY
If You are Injured in a Bicycle Accident?
|
If you missed Thomas Henson's Road Safety Seminar last week, you missed out on some valuable information on safe cycling. Thomas discussed defensive cycling, the importance of a pre-ride check list, the importance of lights, cameras and bike radar. What to do if you are involved in a collision and how to protect you and your family from financial hardships that can result after a bike crash.

Interest rates have fallen - should you refinance? Ask Frank!
|
A refinance might combine a 1
st & 2
nd mortgage. Or it could tap equity to pay for college tuition or a home renovation = a “cash-out” refinance. But when rates fall, you might have an opportunity to lower your interest rate with a “rate-and-term” refinance. The interest rate on this type of mortgage is the same low rate offered for a purchase mortgage.
Is it smart to do this? If you can lower your interest rate and let the lender pay the closing costs, this is an easy
YES. Your NO-CLOSING-COST refinance will need new escrow accounts – but you will skip 1 monthly payment and receive a refund of your current escrows, so this balances out. I think of this as trading in your old mortgage for a better mortgage - for free.
Some people don’t like the idea of re-starting a new 30-year or 15-year loan when they have already made payments for several years. Good news - I can offer fixed rate loans with ANY term from 10 to 30 years. If there are 26 years left on your current loan, you can choose a new 26-year loan.
You may be able to roll the new escrows to the loan - if the appraisal supports it. Your skipped payment and the refund of escrows from the old loan could pay for a kitchen renovation…or a new bike😊.
Just take 2 minutes to email me your current rate, loan balance, estimated home value and credit score and I will let you know what could be available for you. Or give me a call.
