GC TRI KITS ARE HERE!

Hi All,

In coordination with the new GC Tri uniforms coming in this week, Fleet Feet of Hoboken has offered GC Tri a private sale and party at their store. Next Wednesday, June 8th, everyone can come by the store on 604 Washington St from 7PM to 9PM for special deals, food and adult beverages at the store. Come check out our awesome new uniforms! If you didn’t order one this year, we can put you on the list for next year or, if we can get enough people, we can possibly make an additional order this year as well.

For those that need to know, club attendance is mandatory! There will also be a couple raffles for any GC Tri Member that shows up.

Happy Training,

GC Tri

Weekend Ride

Ride leaves Saturday from 14th st ferry at 730am. Get out there and go long. Should be a beautiful morning.

Tuesday Ride Or Tuesday Track

We are on for tomorrow’s ride – weather looks like it will hold out.

Distance- Approx 20 miles including 3-5 hill repeats in the park.

Thanks!
Nicole

Hi everyone- here is tomorrow’s track workout:

Warmup: Jog to track, 1 lap + drills
Set 1: 1×1600 @ 5K pace, 60s rest
Set 2: 8×200 @ sprint pace, 30s rest between, 60s after set
Set 3: 1 x1600 @ mile pace, 60s rest
Set 4: 8×100 @ sprint pace, 15s rest between
Cool Down: Jog back to Hoboken

We are utilizing three different paces so I want to be clear about what they mean:
5K pace: fast but a pace you can hold over 3 miles; slower than mile pace, but faster than a pace for a 10K.
Mile pace: slower than a sprint, not holding back too much but sustainable over a mile.
Sprint pace: this is all-out, not holding back any more than necessary to complete the workout.

Meet at 9th & Park at 6:00am or at the track for a 6:15am start. There will also be an alternate time for the workout on Wednesday night at 6:30pm at the track.

–Michael

Monthly Happy Hour

Dear All,

This month’s GC Tri Club Happy Hour will be at Green Rock (70 Hudson Street) in Hoboken on this Wednesday from 7:30pm onward.

We can celebrate GC Tri Club’s dominance at the JerseyMan Triathlons, the upcoming Jersey Shore Sprint Series, or how much cooler triathletes are than marathoners (after all how hard is a marathon really?). Either way, $1 beers and Half Price Burgers are fun for all!

See you there.
