THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (December 7-13) and GFC WEEK 9 ROLL CALL! Before getting into what is happening this week and giving you an opportunity to report in about your results last week in the Gator Fitness Challenge... • We haven't yet selected the winner for week 8's pair of Gator arm warmers... Stay tuned! • In case you missed it, an "Event" was posted this morning for our Thursday 12/17 virtual Annual Members Meeting / Awards & Recognition Night... It's posted under both "Events" and "Announcements". If you are participating in the fall edition of the Gator Fitness Challenge, we're now through 9 weeks and have 4 to go! After a very fast start in week 1 with 100 challenges completed, we've dropped into the 60s the past 3 weeks with week 7 resulting in our lowest total to date, but it was just under the previous two weeks (68 both weeks) and we finally turned things around during Thanksgiving week almost reaching 70! Let's keep the momentum going! Each Monday we'll post a "Roll Call" where you can comment back about your results for the week, in this case Week 8 that ran from Monday 11/30 through Sunday 12/6... Your reply can be as simple as "SBR" if you completed the Swim/Bike/Run Challenge (30 minutes of each with caveat that you can substitute additional run or cycling due to the currented limited swim options) or "SCF" if you completed the Strength/Core/Flexibility Challenge (30 minutes total of any combination) or "Both" if you completed both; and feel free to get more creative with your responses if you'd like. Also, this serves as your "This Week in Tri Club" post with a rundown of the week's club activities. Just a reminder to please observe social distancing before, during, and after our workouts and always have a mask with you as those are the best way to ensure that we can continue to offer club cycling, running, and swim workouts. Here is what is on the calendar for this week; to assist us with planning, please use the workout attendance survey under "Announcements" and at this link to let us know whether or not you plan to attend any events... https://www.facebook.com/groups/msgators/permalink/1558601034324663 • Monday 12/7, 7:00pm-7:50pm, Spring Valley YMCA: Tri Swim workout led by Don Mack • Tuesday 12/8, 10:15am-11:00am, Spring Valley YMCA: Tri Swim uncoached group workout...
