Hi All,
GC Tri was all over the place this weekend getting podium finishes and personal bests.  At the Brooklyn Half Marathon, Maria Wedgworth went a 1:40 sporting the amazing GC Tri visor and David Calabrese came in at 1:39 thankful for all those track workouts!  Our crazy distance runners Elena and Grace finished the Dirty German 50k trail run in 4:46:30 and 5:27:27, both personal best times!
At the Harryman Olympic triathlon, Jen Finotti took 4th overall female.  At the NY Tri Series Race #1 Simon Webster finished in 1:37.  At the Jerseyman Sprint, Glenn Hartrick took 3rd overall in 1:30, Melissa Manning took 2nd in her age group in 1:48, Kristine Papamichael took 5th in her age group at 1:58 and Erica finished right behind her in 6th at 1:59.  Nick Teslik took a good showing in a tough age group finishing 7th in 1:49.  At the Red Bank Olympic tri Jared Tootell took 3rd overall in 2:05, Lauren Dagastino took 3rd female in 2:33, Kristin Hespos finished in 3:08, Steve Su took 5th in his age group in 2:25, Matt Mustich finished in 2:30, and seconds behind him David Peitrangelo also finished in 2:30, and Scott Burns finished in 2:47.  At the Red Bank Sprint, Glenn Hartrick took the overall win!
Finally, congrats to Scott Duprex and Nick Walulick for finishing the American Triple T out in Ohio.  That’s a sprint tri on Friday night, an olympic tri Saturday morning, a reverse order olympic tri Saturday afternoon and to finish it off a half ironman Sunday morning!
This weekend Kristine will be leading a group ride on Saturday leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 7:00 AM.  Get your long ride in early before you hit the beach!
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend and good luck to those swimming in the LavaSwim!  There will be a group ride and/or run after the swim.  Check out the FB group for more details!
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.

Thursday Morning Ride

…Leaving 540am from 14th st ferry, unless it’s raining and heading up to Palisades Park.  Be careful, the roads are slick and watch the painted lines.

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,
