JSTC Race Expo 2009
Denise and Bernadette held down the JSTC booth- Thanks gals! Thanks to Green Brook Racing, BPC, CityTri, DQ, PBN, ChiRunning, CGI Racing, JSRC and Piranha for taking the time with the Jersey Shore triathlon community!
Neil from Piranha and DQ's Chuck and Bob Brian Shea handles questions on race nutrition
Kathleen, Liz and Laura hanging with CGI Racing Bill (just back from CA 70.3) and our expo coordinator- Heather Special thanks to JSTC's Jon and Barbara Feinstein for helping get this event off the ground, and 507 Main for doing a great job for us again! ************************* Race Director Spotlight
When the JSTC feels like doing a sprint, DQ Events often has the perfect race to offer on most any radar screen. Chuck Sellers and Bob Neeman have grown DQ Events from it's small South Jersey roots to now stretching from the Jersey Shore and the Skylands. Their main focus for
triathlons is the sprint "I really love every DQ event I have competed in. They are well run and organized and the race directors are two of the best in the area. They are genuine nice guys and I cannot wait to race in their series this season! The post race spread isn't bad either." JSTC's Maggie Freeman Both Bob and Chuck have been competitive triathletes and runners for over 25 years. They have done some great charity work, and their race series is often the number 1 topic of conversation on the JSTC member forum on any given Friday and Monday. See DQ tonight at the race expo and check out their website here ***********************************************
The Jersey Shore Running Club has to be the busiest organization by a 5K here at The Jersey Shore. If it's a big race, chances are Phil Hinck and wife Penny, Bob Both, Big Al and the rest of the loyal members are producing another great day for runners.
The JSRC Grand Prix Series is one of the finest race series in America, and the simple but competitive Thursday Night Summer Series in Wall is again a big hit with our triathletes. Many bike 10-25 miles prior, and time it just right to change shoes and line up for a 3 mile super fast night cap with friends. See the JSRC tonight, and visit their award winning website by clicking here Race Director Spotlight
CGI Racing is is more like CGI Family around the JSTC. The husband/wife team of Larry and Michele Redrow produce our designated club race and the grand-daddy in our area, The New Jersey State Triathlon at Mercer County Park. Larry and Michele are more than triathlon race production. They have been staging and overseeing projects for seventeen years including the opening of the Hawaii Convention Center, Atlantic City Convention center, Six Flags New Orleans, Donald Trumps 50th birthday party and many other events in 24 different states, 8 countries, and 3 continents.
Both love to compete- with more than 50 combined races including 10 half ironmans, 14 marathons, and a who's who of tri state road races and sprint/olympic events.
Michele, (pictured left), is known as our local club hardware supplier, for she has given out over 25 awards to JSTC members over the last three years.
CGI hosts the toughest 70.3 in our area- Black Bear at Jim Thorpe PA on May 31. The June 21 Philly Women's Race is a urban classic. There is always something big from CGI to choose from no matter what time of the racing year it is.

Dave (37) and Sue (34) are relatively new to triathlon, though both have had standout careers in athletics. Last year, Dave was riding a ten speed steel frame and swimming in a surf wetsuit. Sue was taking swimming lessons in the summer of '07 while trying to make the transition from the elite level of duathlon into triathlon. This past July 2008, Dave and Sue won overall honors at CGI Racing’s New Jersey State Triathlon in Mercer County Park to qualify and represent the Garden State at BOUS.

Home town celebration as Joe D. (L) and Dave Slavinski go wire to wire at The 2008 Treasure Island Sprint Triathlon in Point Pleasant **********************************************
The familiar 3 pylons of River Road beach, where the Treasure Island Sprint takes place on The Manasquan River, greet many new faces at the JSTC each summer The Treasure Island Sprint is a JSTC favorite because it's local, fun, and some of us have been racing here since the very beginning when RD Dave Johnson started it as just kayak-bike-run.
Early May swims signal the start each year of triathlon season But the addition of swim has helped evolve this race into a celebration. For, the JSTC has taught its' share of new members how to open water swim right here on the beach of River Road where the race begins. The "River" is a place where things have unfolded for our membership....Terror, and eventual comfort often the case! We enjoy long calm morning swims and quick late afternoon dips with thunderstorms closing fast from the west.
The Manasquan River's gravel shoreline is a welcome feeling on the feet at the Treasure Island Sprint Clean and cold 58 degree water in May contrast July's murky water and River Road beach closings. This annual event reflecting the strain our society places on the fragile eco-system, as earth's tidal cleansings can no longer keep up with dirty storm discharge and fertilized runoff. September and Treasure Island bring the triathlon season to an end for most of us. And it simply seems appropriate to end where it all began for so many JSTC members....The beautiful Manasquan River.
Kevin, Joe, Craig, Scott, Dan, Bill, CW, Dave, Bruce, Denise, Tim, Carrie, and Jon get ready to swim in the Manasquan River
Joanne is all smiles

Race Performance of the Year
Ted and Brandon Kucowski
Ted Kucowski has his hands full as Sheila and Sue bestow him and son Brandon with top honors at the JSTC "Season One" dinner. The race was the New Jersey State Triathlon. The date, July 22, 2007. Our club was in it's infancy, as original members from the March meeting were still getting to know each other. Our uniforms were fresh out of the box, and many members were doing their first race of the year. We had no history, no race stories as a whole, and still were looking for an identity as a club. With the swim waves close to starting, there was quite a buzz at the beach. Lots of nervous energy and club members posing for pics and having fun. Then Ted entered the water with son Brandon in tow. The crowd roared, and in an instant, there was an overwhelming sense of pride if you were wearing the yellow and blue colors of The Jersey Shore Triathlon Club among the on deck swimmers. Ted, who had worked hard on his swimming with the club in the weeks leading up to the race, was picture perfect in his stroke as he began the race with everyone watching and cheering. No pressure!
Ted and Brandon exited the water to another roar from the crowd. Our club volunteers working hard out on the course at the water stops also shared the pride each time Ted and Brandon came by. At the finish, it was an out pouring of emotion as Ted's wife Jen greeted her boys with a thousand people cheering them on. The club soon joined in, and the party was on. Ted and Brandon later collected the CGI Racing "Hero" award. A special day in the Kucowski household indeed! No single JSTC race performance in 2007 can match Ted and Brandon on that day. It was gutty, it was inspirational, and it was a day that we will always remember. A defining moment that impacted many...Not exactly what triathlon is about! All the more reason to call their race on that day, The Performance of the Year. Congratulations Ted and Brandon!
