I did my first triathlon (albeit, veeeeeery slow) last fall and I'm hooked. I'm training for another one now, and am looking for shirts to wear in honor of Jake and Pet Cancer Research. In his younger years, Jake loved to run with me, and I'd like to bring some awareness out into the sporting world with me. I lost both my dad and sister to cancer, and I've since learned that research for humans can greatly benefit from what vets are learning about our pets, but the awareness of it is severely lacking. Also, I've learned the runner/triathete/mountain biking/hiking community REALLY love their dogs

Jerry, anyway we can get some technical shirts in the "shop" (Unless they are there and I missed them?)...I just can't run in cotton. 

Any other runners/triathletes/adventure seekers out there wanting these too? I can't be the only one!

I'd be down since I'm a runner and do lots of events!

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Thanks for asking!

We've reviewed all of the apparel available in the CafePress inventory and only found a few items that do not specifically mention cotton...

Performance Dry T-shirt (Mens and Ladies): Stay cool & dry while running, biking, hiking or exercising in this great-looking Dry Fit shirt. Our short sleeved Dry Fit Tee comes with a custom printed design to show your passion. These Dry Fit T-shirts features moisture wicking to keep you fresh during a workout and minimize perspiration.

Rashguard T-shirt (Mens and Ladies): Just when you thought you were about to get burned, our Rash Guards for Women save the day. It's the perfect swim shirt, surf shirt, protect-from-the-sun shirt?this is one Rashguard that's got you covered.

We just added one personalized design for these items to the Team Tripawds section:

performance_dry_tshirt.jpg?color=White&height=150&width=150
performance_dry_tshirt.jpg?color=White&height=150&width=150
Tripawds Athletic Dept.

See the first four items. Let us know if these might so the trick, and we'll add other designs. Tell us your favorite designs and we'll do those first. if you can provide a link to the specific designs you'd like to see on these items, that would help!

Oh I'm down for this! I would love to wear one of these at my next marathon!!! Thanks!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

These are perfect!!! I (obviously) missed the women's performance tee!

I personally like these designs:

Tri Harder (Jerry)-   http://www.cafe......434275018

Front leg Tripawd black lab http://www.cafe......525356652  

 

Can they both have "Team Tripawd" on the back and be that pretty blue "galaxy" color, or any darker color besides pink or white...I'd be putting it on over a wet bathing suit, lighter colors while wet make for embarrassing moments blush laughing

I bought one of their performance tees for my grandson's birthday. He's a cross country runner and he loved it. I think you can put just about anything on the CAfePress shirts. You just have to order it. I have even done one of a kind photo shirts through them.

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

I'm more of a sinker than a swimmer so triathlons and me probably will never happen.. But I do run in several varying distance events all spring and summer and I definitely am down for buying a performance tee! My first event is in a few weeks (hopefully Chicago will be above freezing by then) lol but I'd love to get one for that event!

No you didn't, we just added the one after you asked! big-grin

These designs are now available on performance tees in the Team Tripawds section:

Tri Harder (Jerry)

Front leg Tripawd black lab

Personalized Team Tripawds Tees

We'll start adding the new t-shirts to other Team Tripawds designs ASAP. Thanks again for asking!

...or any darker color besides pink or white...

Sorry, while we can add any design, we have no control of the collor and style of apparel offered. There are plenty of other dark colored tees available, but not with the performance/wicking fabric.

Yes! That is why we offer the personalized shirt design that you can replace with any image you upload!
