Hi All,
GC Tri uniforms have arrived!!! If you ordered a GC Tri Tri Kit or Cycling Jersey and have paid for it, please feel free to pick them up from Fleet Feet in Hoboken.
This past weekend GC Tri dominated in racing. At the Jersey Shore Kickoff, Scott Duprex took 3rd overall, Will Reagan 4th overall, Glenn Hartrick 5th overall, Andrew Shore 7th overall, and David Pietrangelo took 3rd in the Clydesdale division. At the King of the Hill offroad triathlon Rich Bean took 9th overall, 2nd in his age group and Nick Walulick took 2nd in his age group as well.
This weekend Mike will be leading a group run on Saturday, leaving from Fleet Feet in Hoboken at 7:00 AM. On Sunday, Mike will be leading an early ride at 7:00 AM and Andrew will be leading a second option leaving at 8:00 AM, both from the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken.
Good luck this weekend to everyone racing the Jerseyman, Doc and Sok or the Red Bank triathlons. GC Tri’s own Nicci Schock will be providing free massages to anyone racing the Doc and Sok so take advantage!
Happy Training,
Thursday Ride
Looking like a beautiful morning for a ride, with temperatures in the 60s and low humidity. Headwind predicted on the way out which should provide a little boost on the way home. Meet Andre at 540am at 14th st Ferry for the ride. If you haven’t started your hill repeats, now is a good time.
Track Workout
Hi everyone,
Here is Tuesday’s workout- everyone’s favorite Yasso 800s.
Warmup: Jog to track, drills on infield
Main Set: 8 x 800 @5K pace; 45-60s between
Cool Down: Jog to Hoboken
As a reminder the goal of Yasso 800s is to keep a controlled, even pace throughout. You want to run a pace that is hard, but you want to hit the same mark on each interval.
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:00am or at the track for a 6:15am start. I will not be there this week so please leave 9th & Park on time and work together at the track. Help each other find the right pace and hit even marks. Thanks.
Michael

Hi All,
My apologies to Dave Pietrangelo for not including his great result last week at the Hoboken Pump and Run. He was able to bench 145 pounds 26 times then take off for a 5k finishing in 4th place overall! This past weekend we had some solid results at the Lincoln Tunnel 5k. Derek Barnes in 19:42, Joe Giattino in 20:07 and Allison Twarowski in 24:25. At the XTerra Jersey Devil Tri, Scott Duprex took 9th overall and Rich Bean took third in his age group. Finally, congrats to Steve Su and Matt Mustich for taking 10th and 20th overall at the West Point Duathlon!
This weekend Jen Finotti will be leading a group ride on Saturday leaving the 14th Ferry at 7:00 AM. On Sunday Rich Bean will be leading the group ride leaving the 14th St Ferry at 7:30 AM.
There is also a group that will be riding the Escape from Palisades Half Marathon on Sunday. They are going to leave from the 14th St Ferry at 7:15 AM sharp so get there a few minutes early if you want to join them. There is a bike storage at the race, so take advantage of getting in a nice brick without having to worry about your bike getting stolen. Because of this race the park road will be closed to all bikes and cars from 9AM to Noon so avoid it.
Happy Training,
