Subject: RE: [BrooklynTriClub] Training this Week

I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way or not, but these
workouts are way too early.  I work in midtown and don't have a 9-5 job. 
I'm lucky to leave my office at 6:30 on most nights.  While I can leave at
5:30 or so once a week to join in for a group run or BRick, there's no way I
will ever make it home to get my stuff and up to the park by 6:45,
especially when having to build in the inevitable subway delay.

And since we don't have a place to leave our bags (I don't live near the
park), that makes it even more difficult - in my opinion.

I hope to make it out one evening in the coming weeks but not anytime
soon...Is anyone else in the same boat?

>At this point I'd like to urge everyone who plans on attending our
workouts to become a member of USAT.  USAT offers insurance for our
workouts, of which we will be purchasing in the very near future.  Once we
do, it will be mandatory for you to be a member of USAT.  Membership is
about $30 anually and if you do more than 3 USAT races each season it pays
for itself.
