Hello All,
So we had some awesome results at the Oxford Olympic triathlon this past weekend with all GC Tri members taking home some hardware.  Matt Mustich took home 1st in his AG with a 19th overall, Jenn Finotti also won her age group, Steve Segaller took 2nd in his age group and finally Kristin Hespos took 2nd in her age group.  Great work!
This weekend there will be a group ride leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken on Saturday at 8:00 AM.

An awesome opportunity for everyone in the club that may be in the need for Physical Therapy.  Dr. Sam Putrino is a physical therapist that has just opened up an office at the Sky Club.  He is offering all GC Tri members a free injury consultation.  Feel free to call him at 201-683-782 or e-mail him at samputrino at gmail.com to schedule an appointment.  Feel free to visit his site:  www.totalorthopt.com for more information.
Also, I just wanted to let everyone know a lot of races are starting to open up their registration for 2011.  I know it is early, but as we all know races around the area tend to sell out quick.  CGI Races and 70.3 Poconos opens up on 10/1 so it is time to start thinking about next year!

Good luck to everyone racing at Clam Man this weekend.  Go Team World…dominate Team Beach Bum!

LavaMan

Hey Everyone,

If you’re looking for a good sprint in June, jsmultisport has one scheduled for June 20th in Lavallette, NJ (approximately 90 mins south).  The “LavaMan” course is fast and flat with a relatively calm swim in Barnegat Bay.  It is well organized and has great support.  Afterwards, you can scope out some of the hangouts of your favorite fist-pumpters from MTV’s Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights or enjoy a nice brunch at the Crabs Claw Inn.  Check it out:
