  • Filed under run

Hi everyone,
Since a lot of people will be racing Timberman this weekend we are going to offer two workouts tomorrow.  If you are doing Timberman I suggest workout #1 and for everyone else I’d suggest #2.  And a special thanks to Scott for coming up with #1 for us with the race in mind.
Workout #1
Warmup: Jog to track, 2 laps striders
Main Set: 6 x 600; 400 @ Half IM race pace w/ the back 200 getting faster each time; 400m jog between
Cooldown: Jog back to Hoboken
Workout #2 (Yasso 800s)
Warmup: Jog to track, 2 laps striders
Main Set: 8 x 800 @ 5K pace, 45s between (keep pace consistent through all intervals)
Cooldown: Jog back to Hoboken
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:15am to jog to the track or you can meet at the track on River Rd. in Weehawken for the 6:30am start. Return time to Hoboken will vary based on which workout you do.

Hello All,
GC Tri had another awesome weekend of racing.  At Born to Tri on Saturday Megan Wiseman defended her women’s overall title and Scott Duprex took 3rd overall.  Jen Jones also landed a spot on the overall podium taking 3rd for the women.  We also had some successful AG podiums with Andrew winning the 25-29 men, Griffin took 3rd in the 30-34 men with JD taking 5th and Dave Cruz in 8th.  Simon Webster took a solid 13th his AG, Emily Woo won the 20-24 women and Lindsay McKenna won the 25-29.
On Sunday we had a solid group make it out to the Turkey Swamp Run.  Scott and Andrew took 5th and 6th in the 20 miler while Will, Simon and Eva all had awesome performances in the 25K.  A special shout out for Mike D who got his first DNF as he assisted a fallen runner to the ambulance and decided to call it a day 11 miles into his race.  Congrats also to Christine and everyone else who raced at the JerseyGirl triathlon!

Finally, don’t forget to check out GC Tri’s latest sponsor in Shaka’s Body Therapy as we have added his link to www.gctri.org.
