Hello All,
Our track workouts are now in full swing so be sure to join them now and get yourself ready for the 2011 season.  If you are unsure you can make the whole workout, don’t worry, come and do whatever you can.  All pace groups are welcome and there will be someone running your pace to keep you company.  We leave 9th and Park Ave in Hoboken at 6:00 AM for a 6:15 AM start at the Weehawken track.
This weekend Kristine and Jen will be leading the group ride on Sunday leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 10 AM.  These are the perfect leaders for anyone new to the club as both just joined last year and have become very active!  Take advantage and enjoy the great weather.
GC Tri uniforms have been ordered!!!  Our first official GC Tri race kit will arrive hopefully the first week of May.
Finally, the GC Tri official race calendar will be up on our site next week.  Nicci and Rich have been working hard to compile all of the races in the area.  There will also be a form where you can input your “A” races and see who else in the club might be doing those races.
Happy Training,
GC Tri

Hi All,

Thanks to all who joined us at One Republik Wednesday night for the monthly social. It is always good to meet new faces and hang out while not in spandex. We will be having monthly socials the last Wednesday of every month so take advantage to hang out with the group while not working out! This weekend Andrew C will be hosting a trainer ride on Saturday morning. He plans to get started at 9 AM so please email him directly to ensure the 4 additional slots don’t get filled up: andrew.corcione at gmail.com. Finally, we need everyone who is purchasing a GC Tri racing kit to contact Rich and submit your sizes. We are about to finalize the order so we want to make sure we get the right thing. Rich will have sample through the end of next week for people to try on. You can contact Rich at ricbean01 at gmail.com.

Happy Training,

GC Tri

Happy Hour

Dear All Triathletes,

The weather was nice for about twelve hours on Friday and we all thought about taking a run or bike outside.  Some of us did it, others (myself) did not.
Nevertheless, we’ve all earned a Happy Hour.

Road Conditions Update

Guys –
Road conditions overall are not that bad. Went to Nyack an back. Worst part is River Road particularly In Edgewater. I would recommend the group going out tomorrow (sunday) to stay single file all the way to the GWB. On River Rd there are some parts with no shoulder at all and with one of the lanes partially blocked.
Going out was not an issue since there arent many cars at that time but be careful coming back. May be better to take the road that runs parallel to river Rd up to the Japanese supermarket. As you are coming down the GWB just make a right after the River palm restaurant (there’s a fire station on the corner). Go up a short hill and follow that road until you see the supermarket and golf driving range.
Stay warm and safe out there.
Cheers,

Raphael
