Message from the President

Adai GTF Members!
Well, after a very long hiatus, our website has actually
been updated. There are still a few pages that are in need
of work, namely the race schedule and membership info, but
the pace should not be as glacial as before. Thank you for
your patience.

LARGE TURNOUT FOR STICK-N-BACK
(10 January 2010) One hundred sixty people showed up for the first race of 2010 - the most for this event since the GTF established this website back in 2002. The annual Stick-N-Back race routinely draws the highest number of participants because of its "novice friendly" distances.

With a 200 meter swim, 10k bike and 4k run, the event attracted a significant number of first-timers to the sport. But being the first race of the new year as well as kicking off the membership drive, seasoned triathletes also came out in droves.
