Was a blast! Team already talking about the Miami to Keys race in Feb...but I
believe that has been postponed till 2011! So we'll plan for Ragnar again next
year! Encourage everyone to do this race. You'll love it!
Thanks Team for making this possible! And everyone else for your support and
cheers!

hello everyone,
Our Christmas party will be soon and I wanted to remind all of you about
getting items for raffle or silent auction. For the Warriors that were unable to
attend the October meeting; we discussed about each person obtaining at least 2
gifts. These donated items can be in the form of a gift certificate or a
service. If the item you are donating has significant cash value then our club
can use it as a silent auction item,otherwise it will be used as a raffle. Check
with your local venders that you frequent such as a restaurant, hair
dresser,movie theatre,etc. The money that our club recieves from the Christmas
party will help pay for the event and go to the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA.
I will need any items you have to donate by November 25 so baskets can be made
for the party.
Thank you for your help and support.
Carol,Tony and Leslie
Just want to wish you all the best. Have fun and be careful! You're all crazy.
Can't wait to see everyone at the party!
Run Warriors RUN!!!
See ya soon,
Mel
Hey everyone. Just thought I'd pass this along. Fit2Run (a huge running store at
the international mall) offers a card for $30/yr. With that you get 10% off
everything in the store. When you fill out the application mention the palm
harbor tri warriors and you get 20% off everything in the store on every
purchase. GREAT DEAL.
Shaker
I'll miss seeing you all. Good luck to those of you doing Ragner. Kick some butt.

Subject: [phtriwarriors] Article on Gloucester, MA Tri in August 2010--road trip, anyone?!?
Thinking ahead Wheels in motion for second Gloucester Triathlon
By Matt Langone Sports Editor
By all accounts, last August's first-ever Gloucester Triathlon was a giant success.
Over 800 competitors, ranging from elite triathletes to first-timers, participated in the grueling race that featured a third-of-a-mile swim at Pavilion Beach, a 15-mile bike ride that began in St. Peter's Square and carried over Western, Essex and Magnolia Avenues before returning to the city's center, and finally a 3.2-mile run that looped twice around downtown Gloucester.
The event, which was the brainchild of Gloucester triathlete Janda Ricci-Munn in conjunction with the Gloucester Fishermen Athletic Association (GFAA), created plenty of buzz in Cape Ann and well beyond. When all was said and done, the event raised a total of $35,400 through individual sponsorships ($9,400), local businesses ($14,000) and race proceeds ($12,000). Half of that total went to support the GFAA, which is a nonprofit group that was founded to support Gloucester's public schools, in particular athletics and related activities for the city's youths. Meanwhile, 25-percent of the money raised went to Wellspring House in Gloucester, which works to meet basic human needs and participate in social change through the provision of emergency shelter for families, education, job training, affordable housing and family support programs. The final 25-percent went to Pine Street Inn, which is a homeless shelter in Boston.
The goal now for race co-founder Ricci-Munn and the GFAA is not to bask in the success from three months ago, but to instead look towards the future. The second annual Gloucester Triathlon is slated for Aug. 8 of next year, and registration begins on Nov. 15. A revamped Web site (gloucestertri.com) is in the works and is scheduled to launch on Nov. 10 and the organizers are in the process of switching the event's name to the Gloucester Fishermen Triathlon, with a new logo also in the works.
"As far as the local draw is concerned, the race was a smash hit," said Ricci-Munn, who developed the race with Cohasset's Bill Burnett. "Now we are striving to make it bigger and better. We want to make it more of a destination event moving forward, so people will stay in Cape Ann for maybe the weekend instead of just on race day. We want to involve as many local businesses as possible and Cape Ann as a whole.
"A lot of businesses already know that the event is a winner."
Ricci-Munn is covering all bases to make sure that the race continues to expand. He believes it is very realistic that well over 1,000 participants will compete next year, with a possibility to get up to 1,500, in which case steps would have to be made to accommodate that many racers.
"We are already starting the process of recruiting more elite triathletes," said Ricci-Munn, who is an elite triathlete himself but didn't compete last August. "The timing of the race is actually perfect in regards to the triathlon season."
The organizers plan to tweak the race course a bit. The goal is to showcase Magnolia more and make the overall event a more complete tour of scenic Gloucester. They also plan to adjust some of the more dangerous parts of the race such as the sharp right bike turn on Magnolia Ave.
Another goal is to expand training classes for first-time triathletes, such as classes that teach proper swimming and bike-riding technique. According to Ricci-Munn, the swim portion is what intimidates first-time triathletes the most.
"We're hoping to have a series of clinics to help people train," said Ricci-Munn.
In January, a group of 100-plus residents of Gloucester are launching the Cape Ann Triathlon Club, which will be a group of people training for the event together. It's yet another sign that this event is certainly catching on in Cape Ann.
"The dream scenario is that we get so much money from sponsorships that we can start to attract international athletes," Ricci-Munn said.

Hey Tony,
We have two bike cases from Performance Bike that we would like to sell. They have a hard shell and are really sturdy to really protect the bike. They have one compartment for the wheels and one for the bike separated by a hard divider and cushions. They have a handle and wheels, so they are easy to haul around. They are in perfect condition.
They sell new for about $300 each. We will take $100 each or best offer.
If you know of anyone who might be interested, please let me know.
We will see you Friday at check in.
Take care,
Hector

Unfortunately, I think we are going to have to call this off....it's going to be very windy tmrw with a small craft advisory, so I'm pretty sure it'll be too dangerous for us to swim. If when I get up on Saturday AM & it turns out that it doesn't look that bad, I'll post or call a few of you that were interested in meeting, but I think it's safe to say we'll have to call it off. :(
