Congratulations to GCTri Member Steve Fulop for being elected Mayor of Jersey City; Good luck in your new position!  So, when is the inaugural Jersey City Tri?  After a quiet weekend of racing last weekend, it is evident by all the races this weekend that tri season is in full swing!  We’ve got: Scott Duprex, Raphael Zagury and Nicole Ogrosso racing the American Triple T in Ohio (for those unfamiliar it is a sprint Friday, 2 olympics on Saturday and a half IM on Sunday); Derek Barnes & Brian Wiest racing Jersey Man; Missy Manning, Erica Manning, Andrew Corcione, & Kristine Papamichael racing HarryMan; Dave Calabrese, Shelley Palumbo, Marc Rogers, Heather Cameron, Dave Pietrangelo, Jen Sheppard, John Argueta & Rowan Prior racing Red Bank; Kevin Portmann racing Black Bear; Chuck Dender and Matt Bach racing Iron ITT; Rich Bean racing King of the Hill Xterra; Carsten Hansen & Mike Fanelli racing Brooklyn Half Marathon – Good luck everyone!  Just a reminder that Gran Fondo NY is Sunday 5/19 so realize that 9W is gonna be nuts.  On Saturday a group will be meeting for a long ride that will leave the 14th St. Pier at 7am.  Happy Training!

Hello All,

At Ironman Mont Tremblant, GC Tri welcomed Frank Virga to the Ironman family finishing in 12:40.  Eva Kovacs also finished her 20th, yes 20th Ironman up there in 13:48.  At the West Point triathlon Kevin Portman won his age group and took 10th overall.

At the USAT Nationals Sprint, Glenn Hartrick took 4th in his age group, while Jamie Brabston and Nicole Ogrosso took top 10s in their age groups as well.  Carlos Garcia also had a fine performance.  At the Olympic distance Jen Finotti, Melissa Manning, Kristine Papamichael, Gabby Czernik and Erica Manning all had great races!

At Timberman 70.3, we had a large group with the GC Tri Banner Flying high.  Rich Bean qualified for 70.3 Worlds in his first ever 70.3.  Scott Burns and Maria Wedgeworth also finished their first 70.3, Kristin Hespos got a PR by over 20 minutes for the course and Nicci Schock had another solid performance.

This weekend Mike H will be leading a group ride leaving the 14th St Ferry on Saturday at 7:00 AM.  He’s taking a long easy ride up to Bear Mountain if you are looking to long and have some company.  Don’t worry if you don’t want to ride that far, you can start with the group and turn around at any point.

Happy Training
