Good Morning!

We had a fabulous turnout for our newbie nights at Bogey's this week.  Just about 200 NEW women to our club learned all about the sport of triathlon!   I do have some extra packets left and will put them in a box on my front step for pick up starting on Monday morning.  The packets have all of our 2015 races, workout schedule, various training plans and a triathlon checklist.   My address is:  110 Cromwell Drive, Mullica Hill NJ.   

We will  have a mentor program this year!  Sarah Zuba will be leading this initiative.  Look for information on facebook and full details in my next email on April 1st.   We will be looking for existing members to be mentors.  Each mentor will be assigned 1-2 newbies!  Sign me up goes out on April 1st. 

Thanks to all of the new girls who stepped out of their comfort zone and joined us last week!  Please do not hesitate to ever ask anyone in a pink shirt, tri-suit or bike jersey a question. 

Queen of the Hill:  350 spots for Queen of the Hill were filled in one day!  We were able to open up more spots because we expanded the transition area. Queen of the Hill is an amazing, women's only race which is mostly comprised of club members. If you want to sign up for queen of the hill  please click here!  Remember to sign up your teenager too... she just might win Teen of the Hill!  Don't delay we're almost sold out.  Price increase April 15th.

Fabulous Friday Night 5K- registration will open April 1st! We expect this to fill up very quickly.  Race is Friday, June 5th @ 6:45 pm at Wenonah Swim Club in Wenonah, NJ.  This event is for tri club members and their families only.  We will have a 5K, a family relay (each family member runs one mile), and an after party with the opportunity to use the the Wenonah Swim Club facilities.  Always a fun night!  Medals to age group winners and ALL first time 5k finishers.  If you are new to running, this is a FABULOUS 5K!
