SOME UPDATES/REMINDERS... Below are updates/reminders about 2021 club memberships, resumption of workouts, the winter Gator Fitness Challenge (starts on Monday), our 2021 "Who's In?" event calendar, sponsor discounts/offers, and distribution of Annual Member Meeting door prizes and GFC arm warmers. • 2021 Club Memberships: As a reminder, all of our athlete club memberships expire on December 31. So now is the time to renew for 2021. I checked on the Y's website this morning and was unable to locate the registration page... I will check on this when the Y reopens on Monday and will provide an update once I've confirmed that the usual registration options (i.e. online and at the SVY's front desk) are available. If you are planning to renew your membership, you have until the end of January. In early February we will update our Facebook group, email list, and Training Peaks account to reflect the current membership. Regarding membership rates, as announced during our Annual Members Meeting, rates will stay the same in 2021 as they were for 2020... For Y members this is $130/individual and $210/couple. For non-Y members that would like to participate in workouts that we conduct at the Spring Valley YMCA (i.e. swims, spin/strength, occasional run) the fee is $260/individual and $420/couple. Social memberships are $75/person. Youth memberships are $30/person. • Resumption of Workouts: Great news! The 23 day gym closure directive by the PA Governor's office expires this coming Monday, January 4 at 8am and the Spring Valley YMCA (and other branches) will be reopening at that time! In conjunction, we will resume with our 5 weekly SVY-based workouts including Monday evening coached swims (7pm-7:50pm), Tuesday morning coached swims (10:15am-11am), Wednesday spin/strength coached workouts (6:30pm-7:40pm), Friday morning coached swims (10:15am-11am), and Sunday uncoached group swims (11:15am-12:15pm). Plus we will resume our Thursday evening (6pm) coached run workouts. We will also continue with offering Zwift meetups on Tuesday evenings (7pm-8pm) and Zwift/Zoom meetups on Saturday mornings (8am). We will also restart the workout registration polls every weekend for the upcoming week since we still have workout capacity limits. A printable weekly workout calendar for January-March is posted under "Announcements". • GFC... Fall Edition Ending, Winter Edition Starting!: Our 13 week fall Gator Fitness Challenge (GFC XIII) ends tomorrow/January 3 (watch for the final roll call on Monday). Our 13 week winter Gator Fitness Challenge (GFC XIV) begins the next day on Monday, January 4 and runs through Easter Sunday, April 4.

The calendar is well under way and the first pass will be posted this weekend! • Sponsor Discounts/Offers for 2021: We are in the process of consolidating all of our 2021 sponsor offers and discounts... Later this month we will post a summary. Note that we did post a Steelman Racing discount code yesterday (see "Announcements") that can be used for all six Steelman Racing events. • Annual Members Meeting Door Prize and GFC Arm Warmer Prize Distribution: We are planning to schedule an opportunity in January for our prize winners to pick up their prizes (stay tuned for an upcoming Facebook announcement about that). I will also have them in my vehicle any time I head to the Y for a workout, so if I see you there, you can also get your prize then. If you have any questions about these or other topics, please post a comment or contact us at gatorstri@gmail.com. Have a great weekend! Gator Done in 2021!
