Who are the HammerHeads and why are they on Cody's Challenge Jerseys??

many of whom are also members of the Cody's Team. We have a special bond with these athletes and want to help them promote their cause.

The HammerHead Racing Team is unique to Jacksonville. Many of the top area triathletes have come together to increase awareness of their sport and raise money for the Network of Care (NOC). It is our hope to represent Jacksonville in local, national and international triathlons and duathlons. HammerHead team members will show their talents and dedication to their sport with the purpose of bringing relief to families threatened by homelessness through pledges and donations to NOC.

We want you to be a HammerHead too. Join the HammerHead Racing Club and become part of a great team while helping Jacksonville families in crisis at the same time. For a $35 annual membership you will become a member of the HammerHead Racing Club. $10 of that fee is immediately donated to the NOC. As a member you will get a HammerHead T-shirt, entry into HammerHead post-race parties, and our newsletter updating you on all our efforts on and off the race course. You may also purchase DSS Tri Gear and sweats at near wholesale prices.

A note from Joe Pelley. Don't hold back because this is a racing team. We are all eligible to become members and participate in triathlons. I did the Beaches Area Fine Arts sprint series for the first time in 1998 (They needed someone to be last and I fit in nicely). I am a member and I enjoy trying in the events that are for me and supporting all of the team in larger, longer events........ We have a large contingent going to the Florida Ironman in Panama City....... elite athletes as well as 1st timers who are out to prove something to themselves..... They all get my utmost respect.

Come join this team. They got some "cool" threads.
