JOIN THE 2021 BASE TEAM AND FAMILY
Send an email to: info@baseperformance.com if you would like to join the team Would you like to be part of something that is bigger than just yourself? Do you want to be part of a team where "No Perfect People Are Allowed" - read the blog Would you like to socialize with and ask questions of a group and feel welcome in all respects? Never judged? Would you like to be part of a growing family of athletes who are never the fastest, but enjoy life to the fullest while simultaneously holding down full time jobs and raising families? If you like to ride your bike up a hill, then run on top of the hill, then eat a taco on top of the hill, then ride your bike back down the hill, this family is for you. (True story - come to camp) BASE will have different options for everyone. You will still be part of the main team, you will just also be part of the individual teams below. It's no secret that 2020 was a difficult year. For all of us. But our team was able to keep each other motivated, positive, and share the love. In these trying times of the year, we continue with our Team Mantra, "What's Your B?" What this means is each day you can wake up and B anything. B positive. B a jerk. B Kind. B inspirational. It's your choice. This is the mantra that all of our team members adopted this year. WHAT'S YOUR B? HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO ATTEND AN ADULT CAMP IN FLORIDA IN FEBRUARY AND TRAIN WITH LIKE MINDED FRIENDS? BASE hosts 2 BASE Camps each year. The first is in Clermont Florida at the end of February, and the second is in Boulder, CO (HOME BASE Headquarters) over Memorial Day weekend. You will make some of the best friends at these camps. Cost is only $199 to attend which includes all dinners. Amazing price. BASE has added two additional camps to the 2021 season. A 4 day gravel adventure camp in July exploring the mountains and gravel roads of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and a 4 day Leadville Ultra Running Camp exploring the trails and peaks in the Rocky Mountains on Foot. Please note. Camp attendance is not required at all. They are just a fun add on.
During the difficult times of 2020, we hosted the BASE Virtual Duathlon and will host the BASE Virtual Run series throughout the rest of 2020. A total of 5 events plus training over the course of 5 months. Our team members loved taking part.

To start off, BASE is owned by two amazing people, husband and wife Matt Miller (the salt cowboy) and Lauralee Miller. They have 2 amazing kids Finn (19 months) and Scout (5 weeks). We as a team were there when these two met at St George 70.3 in 2016. Many of us attended their wedding. Many of us actually visited them in the hospital the day Finn was born. Scout was born during COVID, so no visitors. Finn has attended 3 BASE Camps and over 20 Triathlons. Matt, Lauralee and Finn announced they were pregnant with Scout at BASE Camp Florida. Over the past 8 years many, many team members have met through the BASE team and gone on to get married. While others have had children, and everyone on the BASE team is very welcoming and encouraging during that time. It all starts at the top with our leadership. Click here to read a recent blog post about the BASE Family during COVID The first team we had was 17 years ago in 2003. We had a nutrition company in Los Angeles called NRG Nutrition and a non profit for blind athletes called The C Different Foundation. We had custom kits from LG, wetsuits from XTERRA, helmets and sunglasses from Rudy Project, and support from partners such as the LA Tri Club, Phase 4, Robert Forster Physical Therapy, and Powerbar. From 2003 through 2013 we would have about 40-50 people on the team each year. We would lead blind athletes through races, travel together to events such as IM Lake Placid, and have an amazing time. In 2014 we launched the BASE Performance Ambassador team, which took on a life of it's own. Now today we have over 1100 team members competing all over the world in multiple sports at varying levels, yet it still feels like a family vibe and we are small like a 20 person group. We bring this up to share with you that we know what we are doing. We know how to keep every team member together. To keep team members engaged. To help team members feel welcome. We are an every body team, not an elite team. Last but not least, if you are an amazing human, we want you to join. We don't do drama. We have zero political posts on our team Facebook pages. We are kind. We are loving. And we have respect for each other. We have zero drama within our teams. If you are looking for a team which has the best Sports Nutrition on the market, we are your team. If you are looking for a team that produces the best, most comfortable, stylish and affordable workout gear, we are your team. We hope to see you in 2021. Get excited.

I’ve been looking at joining the Base Team, what I see is you can only join in September. I am wanting to join the Triathlon team, so do I need to keep a look out in September to join.
Thank you for your time

Hi! I’d love to join the Base Tri Team! Base has helped me so much during the brutal South Carolina summer heat and I’m training for Augusta 70.3 – so it’s going to be HOT HOT HOT.
