NOLA 70.3 (67.1) Triathlon

Congratulations to TGC members who braved high winds and a unique format of a 2 mile run, 52 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run in New Orleans on 04/22/12 as the swim leg of the event was cancelled due to dangerous surf in Lake Pontchartrain due to the 25+ mph winds.  Members who completed the event include:  Andrew Rothfeder, Perry Palmer, Evan Malone.


Run 4 Wine Running Club

This Wednesday at 5:30pm will be the first organized run/walk for a new running club based out of downtown Pensacola.  Four different courses have been mapped out, all leaving from the Wine Bar (1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, and 4.5 miles).  For the first few weeks, there will be least one course host doing each route so no participants will be finding their way on their own.  All are encouraged to attend and participate — walkers, runners, strollers, and even friendly dogs (please pick up after your pooch).

 

The Wine Bar will be offering 2 for 1 drink specials, as well as, 10% off food purchases to club participants.  There is no fee to join this running club.  Water will be available before and after the weekly runs.  The main goal is to have fun meeting and being active with people.
Consider joining this club on Wednesday nights at 5:30pm in the alley by The Wine Bar.
Please invite and tell some friends!

Gulf Coast Half Marathon Aide Station

Some members of TGC will be staffing an aide station at the Gulf Coast Half Marathon this coming Sunday (04/15/12).  The weather looks like it may be warm but clear.  So, the 1,700 expected athletes will certainly appreciate the time and energy that our TGC members are contributing to this event.

If you are participating in the event look for the TGC windfeather at ~mile 11.7 and say hello to our TGC volunteers.

If you would like to help with the aide station please contact Jules Kariher at secretary@trigulfcoast.org
