Hello All,
Congratulations to Jen Jones and Mike Frank who both had awesome races down in Belmar last weekend.  Jen took 4th overall for the women, winning her age group.
Good luck this weekend to everyone racing Born to Tri and the Turkey Swamp.  We will have a GC Tri Tent at both races so look for a canopy with the GC Tri Banner to meet others from the club.

On the sponsorship front, GC Tri members will now receive discounts for Body Therapy from Shaka.  He has several different types of therapies that he will be offering at a discounted rate to all members.  Look for more information on the GC Tri web site or just email .
Happy Training,

Hello All,
This past weekend we had some great results at NJ State Olympic and Lake Placid Ironman.  At the NJ State Griffin took the 3rd fastest swim of the race, Cheryl was able to break 3 hours for the first time, Eva took 3rd on the bike in her age group, and Kristin had another great performance finishing in just over 3 hours.  Great job to everyone in the heat!  At Lake Placid Megan, JD, Eoin, Eyal, and Norm all put out best times and inspired 13 more members of the club to sign up for next year!  Megan just missed a slot to Kona, but still put in a great performance finishing in 10:56.  Eyal was right on her heals coming in at 10:59.  Eoin and Norm finished close as well in 11:34 and 11:38 respectively.  J.D. had a great first Ironman finishing in 12:22.
On the racing front, Andrew Shore will be co-captaining a team of racers at the Clamman this year.  It will be Monmouth County vs the World.  We will be competing for the world and need to show the Jersey Shore what’s up.  All you have to do is sign up at www.jsmultisport.com and let Andrew know if you want to join the team.  Just send an email to to let him know you are in.
Good luck to everyone racing at Belmar and the River to Sea Relay this weekend!
Happy Training,
GC Tri
