BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT... ... to all Gators taking on an event this weekend! Following our first weekend with no Gators racing, our "I Love New York" dynamic duo continue their quest with a run through Manhattan! Reminders: • Gatorthon Registration is Open!... We are looking to finalize our list of Gatorthon teams and runners. To date we have approximately 20 runners. If you would like to join as part of a team or as a "free agent" (i.e. we'll place you on a team), just post a comment stating "I'm in for Gatorthon!" and we'll add you to the roster! Due to the coordination involved, we'll close registration in in the next week or so. • Uniform Fittings and Orders... As announced by Angela Epelbaum, our Zoot uniform fit kits have arrived and there are opportunities for you to try them at the Spring Valley Y this Sunday morning, Monday night, and Tuesday night; see Angela's post under "Featured" for the times and locations plus additional posts modeling the women's, men's, and youth uniforms. And we will also open the order window very soon... It will only be open for a week or two, so watch for a post about it coming soon and be ready to place your orders! • Intro to Tri presentation... We will be offering an "Intro to Tri" presentation on Wednesday, February 16 at the Spring Valley Y at 7pm. This is an opportunity for prospective new members to learn about the sport of triathlon and our club. So please let your friends, families, and neighbors that may want to give tri a try know about it. • Winter GFC... The 13 week Gator Fitness Challenge, week 5, is in progress! It runs until April 3... If you have not already joined and are interested in joining in and taking on one of or both of the weekly challenges, just post a comment and you are in. Each Monday we have a "Roll Call" to see how we did in the prior week. You can join any time... The GFC motto is "It's never too late to start!" • Hats and Visors... We will continue to distribute these until they are gone. If you have not yet claimed one, see Don Mack before they are gone. • In case you missed it... We have posted videos of this week's "Plan your 2022 season/Training Peaks" seminar and interview with our latest female Gator of the Month, Gina Stango under "Featured"... Check them out! Weekend Workouts: We have a couple of opportunities for you to train with fellow Gators this weekend... • Saturday, February 5, 8am-9:15am: Zwift Cycling Meetup... We are completing the Makuri Islands "Neoyko All-Nighter" route. You can join us for part of it or the entire 75 minutes (or longer).
