THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (JULY 18-24)! It's IRONMAN Lake Placid Week! And we have our largest contingent of Gators ever participating in the race! There are 9 current Gators and 2 Gators alumni in next Sunday's event plus a handful of youth Gators kicking off the weekend in the IRONKIDS Dip-n-Dash and Fun Run races on Friday! We also have around 15 additional Gators supporting or volunteering. When you count everyone's "entourage", we'll likely exceed 50 people in Lake Placid over the weekend as part of our overall Gators community! Between IRONMAN Lake Placid and other recent key events such as the Women's Philadelphia Triathlon, IRONMAN 70.3 Musselman, and the NJ State Triathlon (congrats to Dre Barber on the age group win, Jens Sydor on the top 5 age group finish, and Lindsay Inger and Whitney Chadwick on successfully finishing their event on a HOT HUMID day!), we probably deserve a week off of training right??... Heck no, here's what's going on this week... In addition to the plethora of scheduled club workouts, our club sponsors French Creek Racing and Mid-Atlantic Multisport offer many opportunities for outdoor swimming including both OWS and pool.
