Sudbury's First Annual New Years Resolution Run/Walk

January 1, 2005

Sudbury's Running Room and The YMCA sponsored and put on our first official New Years run/walk. And it was quite a success drawing 45 participants and lots of supporters to the Y's Durham St location.

At 12:00 pm sharp the runners and walkers commenced their 5k trek through the rail underpass to Bell Park and back again via Paris St. All were greeted at the finish line with hearty cheers, hot soup, coffee, bagels and lots of draw prizes.

It was nice to see in the run's inaugural year, Sudbury Rocks!! members dominated the top placings with Steve Matusch winning overall followed very closely by Brent Walker in second. Our ladies took top 3 spots with Monique Fournier and Sheila Yaw MacLean tieing for first spot and Celena Leonard coming in third. Click Here for all the Results

Kudos go to Donna and Lise from the Running Room and Nancy from the YMCA for organizing a very successful event. And a big thank you and a job well done goes out to all you volunteers who helped make the outing run like a well oiled machine. I know marshaling at -14 deg. C. can be challenging but no one complained and the participants were full of glowing remarks for your support on the road.

Donna Smrek, Running Room Manager adds:

Congratulations to all our Resolution Run/Walk participants. It was great to see all those smiling faces on the bright sunny, all be it a little cool, day.

The first to cross the line and hit the saunas were;
Steve Matusch - 20:14
Brent Walker - 20:21
Drew Thompson - 20:57

Monique Fornier - 24:53
Sheila Yaw-MacLean - 24:53
Celena Leonard - 26:38

The sweeps, Karen Beaulieu, Haylie Chisholm and Oscar (the dog), followed our 45th participant across the line at 53:09. Once again Congratulations! to all participants, what a great way to start off the new year. We'd also like to thank all our volunteers because we couldn't do it without you.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

The indoor season begins! We'll be starting this Saturday January 8th at Lockerby Secondary School
----------------------
Practice Locations
Tentatively, we'll be training on Mondays and Saturdays at Lockerby.


Wednesdays are a bit up in the air. There will be a practice at the Sudbury Arena. However, we may also be holding a practice simultaneously at Lockerby - more on this in the future.


If you are a university runner who is not competing indoors, I'd avoid the Arena (it's very hard). Probably the same if you are a beginning elementary-school age runner. We can discuss this, however.
---------------------
Practice Times


Mondays and Wednesdays: 4:45 PM
Saturdays: 11:00 AM
--------------------


Directions
-------------------
Arena:


After 4:30 PM, you have to use the After-Hours Entrance. It's the side of the Arena that faces Cactus Petes and the Police Station.It's close to the back parking lot and has a big sign saying it's for after-hours use.


---------------------------
Lockery Secondary School:


Directions to Lockerby SS:
From the University: Turn Left at Science North onto Paris St. Run past Lily Creek Park to Walford Road (just past the Travel Lodge Hotel). Turn right and run a block to Ramsey View Court. Turn right - you'll see Lockerby


On Weekdays: use the main entrance, take the first hallway to the right, walk past the bathroom then take the stairs on the right that go down to the gym level. Turn left away from the gyms. We meet in the wrestling room that's at the end of that hallway.


On weekends: The front door will be locked. If you get there before I do, you may be able to use the gym entrance (it faces the parking lot). However, the preferred door is past the gym entrance. There is a side door that we will leave open for you - it faces the field. Once inside, walk straight ahead until you come to the hallway. Turn right - at the end of that hallway is the wrestling room.

YTri News - by Mike Coughlin

 

The YTri Newsletter has been moved to the homepage to allow easy archiving of the material. (Vince)

Happy New year Everyone!

I hope everybody had a great holiday season full of family friends and food!
Now that its January, I am sure you are all chomping at the bit to get your
2005 training program up and running.

This year, there will be plenty of options for you to swim bike and run the
YTri way. Once again, Friday night brick workouts will be the cornerstone
of our program and you are welcome to bring your own bike and trainer to
these workouts. The format will be 60 minutes of cycling, 30 minutes of
running and 30 minutes of core/stretching, UNLESS there are more people than
bikes in which case the bike/run will be 45 minutes each. Workout goes
6:30-8:30 in the spin studio. Other workouts include a Wednesday morning
swim (see below) and a Sunday morning cycling/core class (see below) where
you are encouraged to bring your own bike and trainer although spin bikes
will be available.

2005 YTri Schedule

Wednesday Swim (starts tomorrow!)
6:00-7:30am
YMCA Pool
All abilities welcome, come for all or part of the session.

Friday Brick (spin/run/core)
6:30-8:30pm
YMCA Spin Studio

Sunday Cycle/Core
8:15-10:15am (cycle 8:15-9:45, core 9:45-10:15)
YMCA Spin Studio
Bikes and trainers encouraged, spin bikes available

**Note: Although there is no formal run planned for Sunday due to the cycle
class, those that choose to run can meet at the Y at the same time and then
join the class at 9:45 for the core portion. If you plan to do this, let me
know and I will spread the word.


See you there!

Mike
