Hi all Sonic boys and girls,
We are going into the race season, is your training on track? Have you met your goal or training objective you've setup in the beginning of the season? Or you've been training well and just need a Sonic race suit for the upcoming races?!
Sonic Trisuit 2013
The new trisuit design and supplier finally confirmed after a lot of research!!
This time we will appoint O2 Creation be our Trisuit supplier for 2013.
- Simplistic design, against those over-engineering and avoid too 'bling' pattern in the local triathlon scene.
- Based on the O2 Creation finest and fastest Performance Trisuit fabric with Teflon coating.
- Asian fits figure, I have a few test run & swim and very happy with it.
- No padding, best for OD triathlon or shorter distance race.
- Junior version: same design, Lyra fabric, more affordable costs.
- Price: Adult version: $1200, Junior version: $600
- How to order? Fill in ORDER FORM and payment, send back to Charles Hui by 2nd June. Size Chart
- To maintain Sonic professional image, we only print FAMILY NAME on the trisuit.
- Lead time: 2 months.

Sunday Shek O Training
Once again, our famous Shek O training will only be organized in non-race day, if there is a race organized by Tri-HK, Splash n Dash and Aquawiz, we will go to race. An email reminder will be broadcast prior the weekend.Race Recap
The weather in April and May is unusually chilly and rainy this year. It actually setup a comfortable temperature to start some races for the season!We have a small representation on the race opener Aquathon race 1 at Kowloon Tsai Park, the only one swimming pool Aquathon in Hong Kong and a lot of waiting like in the swim meet, then you can demonstrate flip turn and run in the park, fast and furious! Sonic veteran John Fung challenged the elite open (in fact it was mistakenly entered) and won his first medal in Aquathon for 1st runner's up! Gigi Wong continues her performance and crowned age-group champion, new member Colin Hannah won 1st runners up in Aussie style. More photos on Facebook contributed by Ryan Tan.

May was a busy race month, three races in a row, kick off by the Tri-HK Age-Group Triathlon on 5th May. It was a showcase for our Junior team coached under Kenneth.
On the same weekend, we have two Sonic veteran Brian and Eric completed the debut Challenge Taiwan half-distance Triathlon at Tai Tung. The event itself was nicely organized with a lot of positive feedback, we should plan another trip for this event in 2014.

One week later, it's another Aquathon series kick off by Aquawiz Hong Kong at Repulse Bay. They have a more creative swim course where we have to swim a 1.4k outside of shark net from west to east plus a short run back to the beach area for another 400m swim within the shark net back to the west end. 1.8k swim and 7.5k run is also the very fair distance for two disciplines, you can't complaint that's the swimmer or runner favorable race.
