Weekly Newsletter/Weekend Ride

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,

Tuesday Track

Hi everyone,
For tomorrow’s track workout we are going to do broken intervals. If you have been at the pool lately you’ll recognize this concept from some recent masters workouts:
Warmup: Jog to track, drills on infield
Set 1: 1200, 12 x 100
Set 2: 800,  8 x 100
Set 3: 400, 4 x 100
Set 4: 200, 2 x 100
Cool Down: Jog back to Hoboken
The first part of each set will be run at 5K pace and all 100s will be run all-out. We’ll take 30s rest after the first part, 15s between the 100s, and 90s between sets. The total distance is only 3.25 miles but they are fast intervals with short rest so you’ll be ready to stop at the end!
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:00am or at the track for a 6:15am start.
Thanks,
Michael
