Good Evening! 

It is hard for me to believe that our Kick Off Meeting was just a week ago.  What a scene!  We think we had about 500-600 women there.  I hope you enjoyed the night. Many thanks to Heather Scheckner who was a HUGE help to us.  Congrats to Melanie, Robin and Angela who won My Resolution!  Lots of miles = lots of smiles!   I also want to congratulate Missy who won the carbon fiber bike from Action Wheels.   Of course, the night would not have been as successful as it was without the contribution of all the baskets and all the raffle ticket purchases.  A zillion and one thanks to everyone who helped out for that one night! Oopsie- almost forgot.  Most Creative Baskets went to: Over the Rainbow, Love Story and Who Let the Dawgz out!  I love that night because it always the start of something fresh and new!

1) Newbie Night Out
As I mentioned at kick off we will have a big newbie night out, two of them actually. This will be much smaller and more informative than Kick Off.  We will go over: swim, bike, run, transition, training and outline our season for you.  If you are new to the club, triathlons or just want to swing by please do! It is important to understand that you DO NOT have to do all three events to be part of our club. If you run or bike or swim... we are totally fine with that.  I do need 12 volunteers each night.  I am going to have one volunteer per table to make sure everyone feels comfortable.   We are offering it twice the same week.   Monday, March 10th or Tuesday, March 11th (same info). Please sign up for the Newbie Night Out at the bottom of this email.  It will be held at Carolina Blue in Pitman, NJ.
  • 6:00- 7:00- Cocktails and Appetizers
  • 7:00- 8:00- Presentation
  • 8:00- 8:30- Panel of Experts
2) Broad Street Bus. DANG!  I am so upset that not everyone got in.  What a bummer.  If you got in but can't run and need to transfer please keep it within the club.  I know of at least 20 people who didn't get it.  We are bringing back the Broad Street Bus this year.   You will be taken via big yellow school bus to North Broad Street for the start of the race and picked up at Xfinity Center to be brought home.  It is $8.00 per passenger. Slight price increase due to a snafu last year.   Members can bring their husband/friends that are running.  I expect we have about 150 women from our club who will be running this year. Please sign up for the Broad Street Bus at the bottom of this email.

3) MY RESOLUTION- SPRING!
I had so much positive feedback and comments about My Resolution I thought I would add another round for Spring.  We will be adding new events such : your picture at the end of a race, an appointment for a mammogram or a dermatology visit for a skin check.  We will bring back all of the fun "miles" as well.  $10 per member with 100% going back to the winners this time!

4)  Message from Maureen- Maureen has affectionately dubbed herself  "Slow- Mo" and wants friends to join her in her quest to be the one who doesn't win the race.  She is creating a little group called - Girls on the Slow.  This will be for women who want to swim, run and ride recreationally.  They will stop and smell the roses every once in a while.  If you want to be part of this group (age is not a factor) please contact Maureen @  [email protected]

5) Message from MichelleMHWTC members that volunteer race weekend at the Love Run Half Marathon in Philadelphia will raise money for MHWTC. Shifts are available Fri, Sat & Sun, March 28, 29 & 30, 2014. Limited volunteer slots are left. If you are an early bird (which I am not) this is right up your alley!  Contact Suzanne at [email protected] to register for our club today!  I am pretty sure we will have the same deal for Riverwinds Tri.  Stay tuned!

In addition-  Michelle and Lauren Gallagher are in charge of sponsorship.  If you or someone you know would like to sponsor our club the forms are on our website or you can click here!  We do expect over 1,000 members and sponsors will get special attention from us this year!  Including a meet and greet so they can meet all the other sponsors.  Speaking of sponsors, don't forget about our Traveling Tri Suit contest.  Such a great idea from HFM.  I already saw a traveling tri suit at the Polar Bear Plunge in Sea Isle this weekend.   Shout out to Eileen and Lauren  who were sporting their suits and hats. Loved it! For more info about the Traveling Tri Suit Contest click here!   $1000 up for grabs.


6)  Message from Lydia-  Lydia does have small and med size End the Stigma shirts. She will bring them to Newbie Night .  In addition, we are having shirts designed  for Broad Street .  Our logo-  Mullica Hill Women's Tri Club on the front and on the back it will say " This Broad Can Take Down Any Street".  Be sure to save the following dates for our charity: March 24th: Yoga Donation Dance Party @ Rode's Barn, Week of May 5th: End the Sigma Workshop @ Rode's Barn and Thursday, June 12th- Pique-nique en Blanc.  More details about the night in white at a later date!

7) WORKOUTS- Oh my gosh.. I can't wait to actually get on my bike and ride, ride, ride.   I hope we can start mid- March to early April.  I have played this game for too many years and won't put out a firm date because it all depends on the weather.  Our first ride will be on a weekend and we will start people at either 5 miles, 10 miles or 15 miles.  Keep an eye on facebook because if it hits 45 degrees on a weekend I will call for our first ride!  It is a good idea to get your bike in for tune-up or start looking at buying a bike if you don't have one.  I can't wait! !!!!! Otherwise, this is what we have going on.... a  little something for everyone ( I hope).  These are mix of morning and evening workouts and will be put on our calendar as soon as I get a second. Most will start the first week of April.
  • Mon: Boot Camp in the Park and William Wilt 5K
  • Tues: Queen of the Hill 10 mile ride, Tempo Tuesday Runs, Tighten the Tush Core Workout and Lake Gilman Swims
  • Wed: Rode Rides. A,B,C and Girls on the Slow
  • Thursday: Tighten the Toosh, Monthly Lecture Series
  • Friday: Trail Runs
  • Saturday: Morning Bike Rides with optional Bricks
  • Sunday: Morning Long Rides and/or Wenonah Swims

*Don't forget we will be offering Tri-Baby sitting for many of our workouts once the kids get out of school  

*Reminder that our Teen-Tri girls are welcome to join us for all of our workouts!  

 

 

8) Dissertation Survey: Thank you to everyone who participated in Laura Bruno's Survey. We are the subject of her dissertation and it is important that she gets a decent response. 

Thank you to Shannon Costa who posts this email to our website for all to see!

Absolute last thing.  I love the Olympics!

Oh.. and here is the
