Track Workout

I, Rich, have been slacking on getting the track workouts up on the website.  Apologies for the late post.

Good morning,
We have been getting a great turnout at the track so be sure to come out and join us.  Here is tomorrow’s workout. We are increasing the distance slightly, but you do not have to complete the whole thing. If you want to do less, please revise set 2 to be 3 x 200.
Warmup: 2 laps + drills
Set 1: 3 x 1200 @ mile pace, 60s rest
Set 2: 3 x 400 @ mile pace, 30s rest
Cool Down: jog back to Hoboken
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:00am for a 6:15am start at the track. We will be back in Hoboken no later than 7:15.

Monthly Happy Hour

Just a reminder, the GC Tri Club monthly Happy Hour is on Wednesday 30 March 2011 at 7:30pm at the Village Pourhouse (205 1st Street, Hoboken).

I have been speaking with a representative of the Village Pourhouse in Hoboken. Here is the specials they are extending us:

-Happy hour from 5pm – 8pm that consists of $1 Coors Light drafts, $4 Vision Vodka Cocktails, $4 Jim Beam Cocktails and $4 “Sauza” Margaritas.
-Beginning at 9pm we have $2 Coors Light drafts.
-Extended happy hour prices until 9pm so it will “transition nicely” into the $2 Coors light drafts at 9pm.

Please email me if you have any suggestions or bars I should contact for the next month’s Happy Hour.

I’ll see you there next week!

Set 1: 2 x 1600 @ mile pace, negative split on the 2nd 800 of each, 60s rest after each

See you tonight.
