Come join me in saying, "Bah humbug," to the wintery weather and swim off your
BTC party indulgences (over-indulgences?) at the Flushing Meadow Olympic pool
this Sunday evening.

The ship departs at 5p from Prospect Heights 1 block from Grand Army Plaza. The
plan is to use the facility for 1 hour.

4 seat belted spots open in my car.  Reply and add your name to the list below.
Ah, chain email; so 1999.

NY Times article about crossing open oceans in a rowboat. Solo!

"Through 50-foot waves and hurricane-force winds, the only thing propelling her
tiny yellow boat will be Spotz's arms pulling against two black oars."

For 100 days.

Alone.

Hope you enjoy the article.

Dear Jonathan, 

I would like to be considered for a Board position with the Brooklyn Tri Club. Although I have only been a member of the Brooklyn Tri Club a short while I have attended many club events. Recently, I have been volunteering my time back to the club for the benefit of my fellow club members through organizing events, seeking out resources to benefit all BTC members, and leading some of the Tuesday night runs.

As a Board member I believe my professional and personal experiences will help me be a positive and proactive addition to the Club's stewardship and facilitate the Club's aims and goals. 

In my professional life I have successfully managed highly complex, high pressured, multi-variable events in key management roles in the motion picture entertainment industry. Additionally, I have used and implemented many technology driven projects that are computer based; some public web facing. It is my belief that these organizational and technical skills will well serve the BTC board and general Club as we grow in membership and activities.

In my personal life, I have been a member and a founder of several club sports while in college. I re-founded the Sailing Club, which is active today and winning races in the competitive New England college sailing circuit, after a many year lapse. I also founded an inline skating hockey intramural club and was a member in good standing of the Rubgy team for two years playing home and away games against teams across New England. From the age of six I have been active in a variety of sports and enjoy competition, camaraderie, and sportsmanship. 

Thank you for considering me for a Brooklyn Tri Club board position and if elected look forward to bringing my excitement and enthusiasm for Triathlon's sports and sports in general to benefit our club members.

Sincerely, 

Michael Yecies

Subject: [Brooklyn Tri] Club Officers/Board Update...

 

We want to notify the club that several long-time board members will be stepping down at year-end.  Our sincere gratitude is extended to Emily Johnson, Phil Noyes, and Adam Watson.  The contributions of these individuals have helped shape the club into a 200+ member organization that has put the sport of triathlon on the map in Brooklyn and beyond.  We look forward to their continued participation and contributions to the club in the years to come.  Please share with us our indebtedness and best wishes to Emily, Phil, and Adam.

Due to these vacancies, we will be recruiting four to five new board members to join current members, Jonathan Blyer, Tony Claudino, Alex Villari, Len Lopate and Tom Malone.  Jonathan will be leading up this process, so if any member would like to be considered for a board position, or nominate a fellow club member, please contact him directly at  jonblyer@yahoo. com.  There are several roles to be filled on the board, and we are looking for a diverse group of individuals who can make the time commitment to bring the club to the next level.  The expectations of board members are to attend board meetings, help organize social, training and intellectual events, coordinate club sponsorships, and many other tasks.  There are a few requirements for prospective board members including club membership for at least one year, regular attendance to club events and the recent completion of a triathlon.

Additionally, with the recent vacancies on the board, there have been changes made with club officer positions.  Tom Malone has been voted to take over Emily Johnson's role as President.  Jonathan will remain club Treasurer.  Tony Claudino has stepped down as Vice-President.  The positions of Vice-President and Secretary are to be determined.

Finally, we hope as many of you as possible will come out to Sheep Station next Saturday, the 19th, from 6:00 - 8:30 for the annual BTC holiday party. It will be a great way to celebrate a successful 2009 and to get excited for an even better 2010. Please come by the holiday party to thank Emily, Phil, and Adam for their hard work.

Enjoy the holidays!

Tony, Alex, Jonathan, Len & Tom

Many apologies for the accidental spam. My application was meant to go
to Jon instead of the general list.

Hello BTC,

Just a reminder about the club's Tuesday night run tonight.
We'll be meeting as usual at the Grand Army Plaza triangle at 7:00p.

Weather looks great! Clear and 44ºF. Lets get a good turn out tonight
before Old Man Winter really arrives.

On deck for tonight are running injury prevention stretching,
exercises, and drills along with an 8:30-9:00 min mile pace
(conversational jog pace).

Michael Yecies will host tonight for Tom Malone.

See you at 7pm.

I also play on doing a 1/2 ironman this fall & a full next year. A discussion
board sound great,
paul griffith

Thanks for the info

Maybe I'll give training peaks a shot then. Now I have a Garmin 305 which I
like.

I have always used Mapmyrun both on my laptop and the iPhone (although the app
is clumsy and who wants to lug their phone when training.. and the GPS is crap)

I do like knowing how much mileage I am doing on my running shoes and what the
bicycle components mileage is too.. With the gear tracker on MMR.

For Nutrition I use the "Lose It" iPhone app, which is very easy to keep track
of what I am eating and calories burned and what % of protein, carbs, etc.

Appreciate all the comments
