Englewood YMCA Triathlon
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
7:30am
The 11th Annual Englewood YMCA Triathlon on Saturday, July 17th, at Englewood Beach was a fantastic event! 300 participants swam 400 meters buoy to buoy parallel to the shore, biked 13.5 miles on a flat and fast, tree-lined course up Manasota Key and back, then ran 3.1 miles for an unforgettable finish! They enjoyed ocean views, live music, photos, continental breakfast, a pre-race pasta dinner at Farlow's On The Water, long-sleeve tees, goodie bags, awards and prizes, and the friendliest competition in the state! This event is USAT sanctioned each year and offers age group divisions from 14 and under to 80 and over, fat tire, clydesdale/athena, and relay teams! Registration closed early as maximum capacity was reached the first week of July! Thanks to all the generous sponsors and many enthusiastic volunteers! Congratulations to Overall Champions Heather Butcher and Aaron Chesna. For full results, visit www.altavistasports.com and to view race photos, visit www.infocusphotos.zenfolio.com!

Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe
Millions of shoes are thrown away every year. They wind up in landfills, taking up space and filling our beautiful environment. Nike has found a way to recycle these shoes, and use them to construct playgrounds, tennis courts, running tracks, indoor synthetic courts and wood courts.
To help protect our environment, the Venice YMCA is turning this year’s Triathlon into our “green” Tri. We will be participating in Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program, in conjunction with our race. Beginning September 2 and culminating at our Triathlon on September 4, we will be collecting shoes to be recycled. Just bring your used kicks to the Venice YMCA between Sept. 2-4, and we can help turn them in to a places to play!
To follow guidelines put forth by Nike, and to remain in compliance with the Reuse-A-Shoe program, we ask that you adhere to the following:
*No shoes can be accepted before September 2, or after September 4.
*Only athletic shoes (any brand) will be accepted.
*No cleats or dress shoes.
*No shoes containing metal.
*No wet or damp shoes.
For more information, please contact Christine Woodward, Venice YMCA Wellness Director at 941-492-9622 ext. 145 or cwoodward@veniceymca.org
