BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT... ... to all Gators who will be taking on an endurance challenge in racing or training this weekend! It's a light event schedule with just one Gator that we know of participating in an official event. This is the calm before the storm as we have 2 club events... Tri for the Y and Schuylkill River Relay... with close to 30 Gators participating that are taking place the next two weekends and 5 of our club event sponsors are offering a total of 6 events between April 21 and April 30! If you do not yet have an April event on your calendar, there are plenty of opportunities for you to add one and make an appearance on an upcoming "Best Wishes" post! If you need the details about when and where, see the latest version of our "Who's In?" calendar that was posted earlier this week... https://www.facebook.com/groups/msgators/posts/2219929614858465/ Our Gators Zwift Time Trial team also had their latest race last night, which included the almost 19 mile Figure 8 route in Watopia; the team that included Don Schlichtmann, Chris Reiter, Chris Acosta, Deb Rocco, and Don Mack did well completing the course in under 50 minutes at an average speed of over 22mph... Great job! As always, if your name is missing from our best wishes list, PLEEEASE post a comment so that we can send Good Gator Vibes your way and add you to the "Who's In?" calendar as we work towards 700 events for 2023! Seeking Tri for the Y Volunteers and Athletes: We are almost at 40 athletes in this event... Who can help push us up and over that total? We also have a significant need for more volunteers as there are currently less than 10 of us registered to assist... Who can help us out with a volunteer shift? As little as an hour of your morning on Sunday 4/16 will help GREATLY. Besides doing a good deed it's also a fun time and a great way to meet other Gators. There is now also an unpublished RELAY OPTION! I'll be participating on a relay team with Keith Ho and Katie Ho... Who wants to join us in the relay division???
