BTC Beat v 6: February 2010
Monday, February 1st, 2010Hey BTCers! We’re enjoying some gorgeous weather, and hopefully Colorado’s sun and powder combo have been more than enough to ward off any winter blues. 
If not, however, this issue of the Beat has plenty of motivation, including an excellent article from Burke Fishburn on solo vs. group training which highlights several BTCers as well as pro Joanna Zeiger; training tips from Coach Eric Kenney; and an account of Lauren Greenfield’s latest snowshoe adventure. In fact, I’ve gotten such great content from people that I’m saving a few bits for the next issue. Be sure to scroll to the end for opportunities to earn yourself homemade cookies by giving the quickest correct guess on the trivia and partial shot question marks. Also, please note info on Mike and Caron Ellis’s upcoming Haiti fundraising event, included in the calendar section. It’s sure to be an incredible night for an important cause!
BTC Beat – Volume 4
Monday, November 30th, 2009Hey BTC!
We’re trialing a new newsletter format, and would love your feedback! Finally you can access the Beat online via the website, thanks to our Master techie, Craig Wilson. Our 4th Beat issue focuses in large part on the founders, in recognition of the 10th anniversary of the BTC this year. Check out “BTC Beginnings” as well as “Tidbits” for some added perspective on the club’s evolution, courtesy of info provided by a few folks who have been there from the start, including Mike Ricci, Jason Kaminski, Tim Sells, Kevin Edwards, and Richard Streeter. Also, be sure not to miss Mary Nodine’s race report on her decisively butt-kicking 3:17 Maine marathon; it’s great motivation for all those training for marathons and more. Other sections include the usual racing and calendar info, an athlete profile, and an update on membership. Missing this month is a message from our stalwart president, but his attention was best focused on Cozumel, clearly affirmed by a stellar performance! November has been a great month for club IM achievements, actually, including those of several first-timers. We’ve certainly got many great race reports to look forward to. Congrats, all!
