Happy New Year!

 

2013 was a hugely successful year for GCTri and we hope you had a personally fulfilling year training and racing as well.  It’s not too early to start setting your goals for 2014 – and we’re here to help you reach them!  In case you didn’t already know, we are kicking off the New Year with a track workout at 2pm on New Year’s Day at the Weehawen track.  Check the club calendar for more details http://www.gctri.org/race-calendar/

 

Start your new year off with some motivation to join the group workouts!  2014 membership dues can easily be paid on the website –http://www.gctri.org/login-2/ This year you will receive a GCTri water bottle as your membership gift.  We plan on distributing these at the kickoff meeting and also through our sponsor Fleet Feet of Hoboken.

 

Did you vote for the 2014 Board of Directors?  There’s still time – voting closes on 12/31/13 at 5pm. All paid members can and should participate in the election.  You will also have the opportunity to volunteer for committees.  Please visit –https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16w9eE6ZRGOBDrBUX9_XVoWYaqZjQegn7rbJmn3MAATw/viewform
