GCTri looks to continue our strong 2014 racing campaign this weekend!  Good luck to our teammates racing Coney Island Aquathon, Musselman, Steelman OWS, War at the Shore and Toronto Triathlon Festival.  Good luck to our team on Tuesday July 15th at the Party With Purpose 5k (you can still sign up and help us show Hoboken how much we rock).

Did you hear the good news?  Jared Lando and Laura Muzzatti got engaged.  Congrats to a great GCtri couple.

We need more cow bell!!!  NJ State Triathlon is the weekend of July 19th (sprint)/20th (Olympic).  Kelly Calabrese and I are leading the official GCTri fanclub – “Coasty’s Crusaders” and we need your help making some noise!  This year GCTri is combining forces with MAPSO and Team Philly Pro Tri and are racing for Team 2N’s in support of our good friend Glenn Hartrick.  Let’s make Glenn proud and everyone go out and get a PR!!!  This year we will have a team port-o-john, and we will also be bringing the tent and a changing tent (new this year) for an awesome post-race picnic!  If you haven’t already signed up for the picnic, please see Nicci’s spreadsheet and let us know what you will be bringing- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13zqmkhLS732k2XC6uq_T_ZHL7YG7jKNwsAOKqJZuqNU/edit#gid=0

The weather looks fantastic for training.  We’ve got a couple options for rides for you.  All rides will depart the 14th St. Ferry Pier.  Saturday: Steve Su is leading an  “A ride” 80mi to Lil Tor departing at 6am; Nicci is leading a “B ride” to State Line leaving at 7:30am.  On Sunday: Diane is organizing a  “C ride” that will depart at 11am.  Lastly, Lisa Mangino and Mark Smith will be sharing their tire changing expertise at 3pm at the flagpole at Pier A.  If you don’t know how to change a flat you really should go to this!  Happy Training.
