Sponsorship Opportunity: Attention Wetsuit Makers

My 2004 Ironman Instinct has developed several major rents in one of the legs that makes it essentially beyond repair at this point. While I will be able to continue swimming with the help of some strategically placed duct tape, I am currently seeking a replacement wetsuit. So in the spirit of directness:

I am looking for a triathlon wetsuit manufacturer who is willing to sponsor Open Water Chicago by providing me with a new one.

So what’s in it for you, you might ask? Well, to begin with, we get a decent amount of exposure in the local endurance and recreational sports communities. We conduct our events in a highly visible area where we come into direct contact with large numbers of individuals training for triathlons and marathons. In fact, many Lake Monsters are active in and well connected with various triathlon and marathon training groups in the Chicago area.

Second, we’ve been getting more and more media inquiries with regards to our swim group and the issues surrounding lake access and open water swimming in Chicago. I have no doubt that this will continue in frequency and intensity, so any sponsoring entity is sure to receive high levels of positive exposure going forward.

So here’s the deal…you provide me with one of your high quality products and I’ll make sure you get massive exposure both on this site as well as externally out at any of our swim venues. This means links to your site, logos featured prominently here as well as out at our meetups, and anything else we can negotiate to our mutual satisfaction.

Any interested party can contact me directly at srhernan(at)gmail(dot)com.

Remember, this is a one-shot deal. Whoever jumps on this first is going to get several years of marketing exposure in a major U.S. market.
