THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (JULY 10-16)! Congratulations to all of our athletes that successfully completed races and volunteered at events this past weekend! We'll have a separate wrap-up later this week. For this week we have another super busy schedule with four of our sponsors offering weekend events including the New Jersey State Triathlon and the Blobfest 5k/10k/half marathon and it all culminates with the Gators Surf & Turf Club Prime Rib Dinner on Sunday late afternoon! A few notes before we get into the schedule details... • The ICE CREAM CLUB is back! Based on the popularity of our first ever "club", we've brought the Gators Ice Cream club back for another year! It's an expanded version of last year's club that was strictly tied to our Tuesday evening cycling intervals workout. That is still part of it, but you can also earn badges for attending other workouts. The club run from Independence Day/Tuesday, July 4 through Labor Day/Monday, September 4 and then sometime in mid/late September we'll have a Ice Cream Club Party! Stay tuned for all of the details coming in a separate post! • Get your 2023 club members t-shirt! We're continuing to distribute long sleeve navy blue tech t-shirts to all current members! You can get yours TONIGHT at the club weekly swim workout; I will be coaching so you can stop by any time between 7:15pm-8:15pm to pick up yours. I will also have them at the club cycling ride on Thursday night and they can be picked up before or after the 6:30pm-8pm ride. • LAST CALL! Join us at Firebirds Woodfired Grill on Sunday, July 16 for the long awaited Surf & Turf Club's "Prime Rib Party"! We'll celebrate Keith Ho's comeback and also celebrate the many Surf & Turf Club badges that have been achieved! We can accommodate at least 30 and at last count we are at 26, so don't delay...
