Slavinski and Huelster Triumph

Wife Carrie and daughter Ivy greet Dad on Father's Day at the finish of LavaMan 2010.  Dave set a new course record with a great swim, 25.5mph on the bike, and 4 miles at 5:35 run pace.  Congratulations Dave, as he led a caravan of BPC Triathlon athletes to the podium on a great day for racing.

 

Sue Huelster, (center), of the JSTC, stands atop the deepest podium in JS MultiSport's brief 10 race history.  She is flanked by 2nd overall Megan Wiseman and 3rd overall Holly Geldhauser.  Jennifer Gilbert, (L) and Barbara Feinstein rounded out the podium on a great LavaWoman day!

It took Gold Coast Tri Club's  Andrew Shore's (2nd L), strong effort to keep it from being a BPC sweep.  Joe Donahue, (2nd from R), ran by 4 athletes on his way to 2nd OA.  Ricky Miller and Matt Kemple rounded out the podium.

Lava's swim start, 2010, explodes with the sound of the cannon in the Barnegat Bay.

CW checking in: 

Over 200 early entries!  Thank you all.  I am really enjoying the emails and questions. I get a lot of them, and I am floored by how many approaches and perspectives there are to a triathlon race.  Thanks for sharing, keep 'em coming!

 

I want to introduce two new sponsors who are very important to me, and also to the southern Monmouth and Ocean county medical and wellness community.

                  

Brielle Orthopedics and AMI Imaging compliment each other in health care, and are making alot of triathlon friends in our area. 

AMI has the strongest MRI imaging magnet in southern Monmouth/Ocean County.   Dr. Patel and Dr. McManus are on site radiologists, have the best in imaging product, and service that is outstanding.

Brielle Orthopedics has a strong combination in Dr. Stamos and Dr. Nitche.  The practice has been a leader for decades.  I am thrilled to have these terrific and cutting edge doctors as sponsors for the upcoming 2010 season.

Hope you will consider Brielle Ortho and AMI when your body needs attention, and all our sponsors to the right including BPC Triathlon for coaching, Brielle Cyclery for bike and wetsuit expertise, Dr. Gerry Goldberger at Advanced Ortho in Freehold, and Therapeutic Fitness for core and personal training. 

All of my sponsors operate at the highest level in their fields. It's a priviledge to have them on board.

Update from CW and the JS Multi Team

For 2010, the Jersey Shore MultiSport team is ready to take our racing to the next level.

In our second season now, we've added experience, a couple new races, some guest co-race directors, improved courses, and more value for your hard earned entry fee.

Two new races for 2010!

   

Making it's debut in the JS Multi lineup in a big way this year- The Jersey Shore Kick Off. 

A weekend of sprint racing, with "Ladies Only" going off Saturday, May 15.  The men have the place to themselves Sunday, May 16.

Berkeley Island County Park, Bayville (Exit 77 GSP) is the setting.  Sunrise on the point overlooking Barnegat Bay brings a fast swim in estimated 65 degree water.  Bike the 10 mile out and back loop through the best of Jersey wetlands, and run 5K to a picturesque finish line.

Race #2- Cheap, Fast, and Not So Easy! Our down and dirty sprint in the quaint little Toms River town of Island Heights is destined to be a cult Memorial Weekend favorite. 

Fast swim, fast bike, and fast run...But oh that one hill on the bike!  Just to make sure you earn your holiday burger, we throw another roller in on the run.  Now you know why they call it Island Heights!  

We added a second race to this morning...Avoid most of the pain with Cheap 'n Easy, a fitness super sprint for the racing novice and whole triathlete family.

Born To Tri moves up a weekend August 7th, with a new and improved bike course that now utilizes Ocean Avenue to the north end of Deal and back.  This new bike course layout now offers a little bit of everything, and will make for a great race experience.

We'll have more updates as the winter approaches.  Enjoy your family during the upcoming holiday's, and thank you for supporting the Jersey Shore Triathlon community.

Stafford PBA Wins Relay, Team Brandon 2nd, Fantastic Feinstein Four 3rd

Above, James Doyle explodes out of the swim to finish in a course record 1:01 flat.

Carrie Slavinski, (above), Wins Women's Overall

Team Brandon rode Brian Norling, a wave or two, and an emotional roller coaster to place 2nd in the relay

Team Feinstein was indeed "fantastic" proving the family that tri's together, stays together!

Stafford PBA employed time trial specialist Chris Fritz for good reason- 26.6 mph!

Thanks to all the volunteers, Mr. C's, Allenhurst Beach Club and last but not least the entrants who made the debut of Vice Versa truly a smash success.  We can't wait to do it again next year!!!!

Great Atlantic Ocean Triathlon Highlights

Named for good reason...The Great Atlantic was a challenge just to get to the yellow buoy start!

(Above)  Swimmers are rewarded before the race ever starts.  Here, they get the opportunity to gather themselves and their breath in calm deeper water before the in water starting cannon sounds.

Little Ivy's mom is a little busy as Carrie Slavinski's (left) "me time" included picking up 1st Place Great Atlantic overall hardware.  Next to Carrie L-R and 2nd-5th OA, Susan Altman, Arwen Lawson, Danielle Caravetta, and Mary Sheppard.

Ortley Beach resident John Stock shows he still has it, with a 5th place overall finish in the Super Sprint.  John was instrumental in uniting Seaside Heights and bringing triathlon racing back after a ten year hiatus.  Thanks John!

9/12  We have plenty of room for morning entries, so if you'd like to sign up for The Great Atlantic, stop by tonight at packet pickup (Hemingway's 4-6pm) or early morning at transition (Hiering Ave and Ocean Terrace 5-6:30am)

Ocean Cam Live

9/12  Seaside Heights looking good...thanks to a weather turnaround and the hard working folks in town that cleared tons of sand dunes and swept the boards!  Awesome job Seaside Heights!  Slight change to Great Atlantic swim...The 1/2 mile course is now out an out and back due to a huge sandbar that has appeared at the pier.  The Great Atlantic run run has been shortened to 3.1 miles due to huge sand dunes on the boards in Seaside Park on the south end.  All else looks good!

 

 

9/11.....Vice Versa has been postponed due to weather until next Saturday, September 19th

Registration will reopen later today to allow more entrants.  Hope to see you there!

9/9 Team Brandon readies for Vice Versa Video feature by Philly Channel 4

9/9  Hemingway's in Seaside hosts Great Atlantic packet pickup Sat 9/12 4-6pm

9/2  JSTC's back to back tri weekend is right around the corner!!!! Here's our biased opinion on race #1 Saturday Sept 12th....

Vice Versa- Solo or Relay...There is no other race like it!  Here's your chance to say you were there in the beginning!  

Start a great morning along side Team Brandon's father/son duo to run the mass 5K...Bike the fast and "as close to closed without saying closed as you can get" road course...Then a quick (or easy) jog along the spectator line to the swim start for a 1/4 mile aqua-drive sprint to the finish on the beach of The Allenhurst Beach Club. 

Killer breakfast by Mr. C's, awesome awards, and a setting your friends and family will enjoy while you race and celebrate a great day in Jersey Shore triathlon history.
