Swag for the Ladies
I am a little too tired to write here but here’s a picture of girl swag..

The Goods!
Each month we send out a shirt from a particular race or a triathlon organization and some other goodies. We only use great quality shirts that are 100% cotton.

We’re Growing…
Triswag Members - it’s only been a month! We want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up and will be receiving their tri ’swag’! Amazing.
Triswag is a triathlon swag & t-shirt of the month club. Subscribe by the 1st of the month and you’ll receive a shirt, some stickers, and maybe other tri goodies by the middle of the month. Shirts come with a logo of a great triathlon or triathlon organization. These are not limited to North American races..and we don’t tell you what the shirt is going to be…its a surprise.
Want to get your TRI organization marketed to our members?
If you’d like your swag in our bags, contact us. We print t-shirt designs on American Apparel or Gildan Ultra Soft shirts (high quality 100% cotton). We print stickers and send you the extras at no cost. We’re not in the manufacturing business, but we have hundreds of packages going out - if you want to send us some stuff, we’ll almost certainly send it out if it’s relevant. Everybody loves swag.
Ironlife and Triswag!

What’s up Triswag Members!?
We’ll be featuring our ‘partners’ here at Triswag.com and sharing stories about their organizations, their triathlons, where their races are held, even doing athlete profiles!
This organization in particular is really neat and Triswag was not only really excited to have a new tri organization advertising on our ’swag’ that we send to you, but we were amazed when we got to see what ironlife actually is!
Short and sweet, www.myironlife.com is a website in BETA/Testing mode right now that is pretty much a facebook for ‘iron’ distance athletes. It has some very basic and some really intereactive features on it and you can even get access to see this by emailing info@myironlife.com and becoming a BETA tester as they work out all the final tasks of getting a very complicated project off the ground!
You can also join them on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Ironlife-The-Social-Network-for-Iron-Distance-Triathletes-and-Hopefuls/15081143983?ref=ts

Ultraman Canada

Ok - so we’re super stoked about having some wicked gear sent to your doorstep. Running triswag has proved to be a really exciting thing and everytime we get a new tri organization or triathlon race that shows interest in being on our ’swag’, we get PUMPED. We’ll be featuring stories, blog posts, photos and race highlights from our partners from time to time.
Our first Triswag feature that you’ll see on your gear in one of the coming months will be Ultraman Canada.
Ultraman Canada is a 3-day, 512.6 kilometer (318.6 mile) individual ultra-endurance event which covers part of the Okanagan/Similkameen regions of British Columbia, Canada. Entry is limited to 30 solo participants and 5 relay teams (made up of either 2 or 3 people) and is by invitation only. The event started in Canada in 1993, following the format of the original Ultraman established in Kona, Hawaii in 1983.
Exciting! But What is Triswag.com?
Swag - In American colloquial usage, a term for promotional items, gifts to the general public, or a souvenir of a special event or race.
Triswag is a triathlon swag & t-shirt of the month club. Subscribe by the 1st of the month and you’ll receive a shirt, some stickers, and maybe other tri goodies by the middle of the month. Shirts come with a logo of a great triathlon or triathlon organization. These are not limited to North American races..and we don’t tell you what the shirt is going to be…its a surprise.
Why Triswag?
I, like many triathletes live this sport. I train hard. I have a bike, wetsuit, and running shoes. When I am not training, I wear swag from races. I wear logo shirts, event shirts, like they were band t-shirts. The general public doesn’t understand what my Iron finishers shirt is really all about. I don’t care. Triathletes know, and we share a common bond. Plus…we love the gear..(well at least I do).
How does this work for races/tri organizations?
If you’d like your swag in our bags, contact us. We print t-shirt designs on American Apparel or Gildan Ultra Soft shirts (high quality 100% cotton). We print stickers and send you the extras at no cost. We’re not in the manufacturing business, but we have hundreds of packages going out - if you want to send us some stuff, we’ll almost certainly send it out if it’s relevant. Everybody loves swag.
** Bags will always contain a t-shirt and 5 stickers - If companies send us gear like shirts, gels, hats, whatever, we will send them out.
Any other questions email to triswag1@gmail.com and we’ll get right back to you.
