THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (December 6-12) and GFC WEEK 9 ROLL CALL!

EDITOR'S NOTE: As you've probably noticed, there is an issue with the
formatting of our posts for the last 1-2 months. Everything seems to look
fine on a laptop or PC, but for some reason on mobile devices the bold and
bullets are replaced with asterisks and hashtags. We'll continue to seek a
solution.

This is your weekly update on what is happening in Gator world including
workouts and other events, plus our weekly Gator Fitness Challenge "roll
call", but before we get into all of that...

**Rehoboth Beach, We Love You!... **Rehoboth Beach lived up to expectations
with perfect weather, an amazing new marathon/half marathon course that
includes the boardwalk and ocean views (thanks Mary Beth Hanna Hutton!), a
fantastic post race party, and a very fun TailGator Party at the Purple
Parrot (next time you're there, look for the "Happy Birthday, Lynn/Chomp!"
dollar bill we placed in the skylight!) followed by a refreshing (and
surprisingly not too cold) RefrigaGator Swim that included 6 Gators and two
"friends of the Gators" (lifelong friends for doing something like this
with us... Welcome to our Facebook group first time RefrigaGator Becky
Ginther!)!

Coming Attractions... A great week it was, but we never stop moving, so
now it's time to look ahead to what's next... This week we have a full
slate of workouts along with our always spectacular end of year party. And
next week on Thursday, December 16 we have our "8th Annual Members Meeting
and Awards & Recognition Night" and we're very pleased to announce a return
of the "Meeting After the Meeting" at the Railroad Street Bar & Grille.
Here are links to both events...
