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

Track Workouts are BACK!

  • Filed under run

Good morning,
Our track workouts are now officially underway!  We are going to start slow and build up over the next few weeks so that we maximize the workouts and avoid injury.
I want to be clear that everyone is welcome whether you have done the workouts before or not. The workouts are designed to accommodate all runners and we can adjust each workout for individuals at the track. So if you have thought about coming in the past and decided not to because the workout looked intimidating- come now. We have a lot of fun!
Here is this week’s workout:
Warmup: 2 laps with drills
Main Set: 5 x 800 @ 5K pace, 100m walk and 100m jog between
Cool down: Jog back to Hoboken
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:00am to jog to the track or meet us at the track at 6:15.  We should be back in Hoboken no later than 7:15.
See you tomorrow,
Michael

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
