THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (February 28-March 6) and WINTER GFC WEEK 8 ROLL CALL! GATORTHON NOTE: Found... Insulated Women's Philly Tri water bottle... If it's yours, please post a comment and we can return it to you. WORKOUT CALENDAR UPDATES: The old switcharoo... Starting this week (and through next fall), we are transitioning back to Wednesday nights swims, which will start at 7pm and end at 8pm (3 lanes available). Also, as a result, through March, we're moving the weekly Zwift ride to Thursday nights, typically 7:30pm-8:30pm (although this week's ride will be earlier due to a coaches meeting on Thursday; see details below). Also, our morning swim coach, Don Schlichtmann, will be out of town in March and the first half of April... As a result, the morning workouts will occasionally be coached by another member of our coaching staff or will be uncoached group workouts... Stay tuned to this weekly post for the plans for the upcoming week. GATORS (WELL) DONE! Before we get into more about this week, THANK YOU for your support of Gatorthon yesterday as runners, supporters, and donors! We achieved 100% of our running goal with 47 runners completing 8 marathons and one 50K... Everyone was on time for their slot and successfully finished their miles beginning with Jr. Gator Lorenzo Torres at 7:15am and ending with new Gator Justin Wychunis around 3:30pm! Be sure to check out the photo album at the following link; there are 163 pictures so far (and please add more if you have any)... https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=oa.662577864990442&type=3 We have also reached and exceeded our fundraiser goal, which was to at least collect $1,000 in donations to match club lead sponsor CentreFor HealingArts $1,000 donation. To date we are at $1,200, which is amazing! If you have not yet had a chance to donate, we'll leave the fundraiser open through this week.
