I'd send that kit back - the printing is all backwards 

Congrats, and good luck in your season.

Very cool. I'd be proud and excited, too. I am! For you!

Nice training setup! (Is your seat too high--can't tell with that ultra-padded-seat-towel saddle you have)

Congrats!  Sponsorship is an awesome opportunity to train for a company/organization you believe in.  With the power of social media today, age group athletes are becoming a huge target for sponsors and rightfully so.

And I love Training Peaks.  A buddy of mine Dave Criswell works for them...awesome dude.  If you ever see him, make sure to say hello.

Damn, I was so happy about receiving it that I didn't even check the printing...

 

@TriAya - maybe a bit high but at least, it is very comfy and I can train peeing on my bike while on the trainer...

i laughed out loud at this. I'm fine with you doing that as long as you don't try the other thing

 ETA: congratulations!!

Congrats. Would be curious to hear how you went about targeting company/organizations seeking sponsorship.

Nice!  I got my first sponsored kit this weekend and the tri suit is so teeny tiny.  I thought maybe it was their way of saying hey, we're going to force you to lose some weight if you want to wear our stuff.    It might work.    Congrats on getting the gear!

It has been by accident. I was using TP, and I knew they were calling to receive application for an ambassador team. I applied as I was using TrainingPeaks for my training and I liked it.

I've been chosen. I don't know based on which criteria but I didn't complain

I'm glad I did it as they are really supportive and as I like what they're doing (even if I wasn't part of their team )
