Harry’s Spring Run Off 8k – March 7, 2010

The sunny weather was on its way out, but the rain held off until after the “Harry’s Spring Run Off” in Stanley Park yesterday. SAA’s Brandon Jones had another great race finishing 2nd in his age group. Great work Brandon!

Don’t forget this Tuesday’s run (March 9th) is out of Precision Health’s office and following the run there is a technical talk by Carmen Bolt, President of Human Motion, on Injury Prevention. http://www.thesaa.ca/2010/02/17/tech-talk-injury-prevention-tues-march-9th/

One final reminder on the Oakley Jawbone offer through our sponsor Speed Theory. I’ve extended the deadline to Thursday March 11th. If you want a pair of these orange and blue Jawbones then get your payment in to either Linda Hilts or Stephen Ptucha at one of the training sessions by this coming Thursday. So far we are a few people short of meeting the minimum quantity. Don’t let this one time special offer pass you by. If you have any questions, fire me a note at president@thesaa.ca

The next 2 Wednesday evenings , March 10 and March 17,are the last two for this spin session. Please bring in addition to your usual cycling gear, your running shoes and reflective gear or lights as we will be running as well.

If you have any questions, please speak to Calvin.

The Steveston Athletic Association is very pleased to announce the addition of the Run Inn to our family of club sponsors. The Run Inn has two locations in the lower mainland to help with all of our running needs. Keep an eye on the SAA calendar and website for special events and occasional runs from the Run Inn. In the meantime, drop by and introduce yourself to Chris and Steve at the Vancouver location and Kevin at the Tsawwassen location.

Descriptions of the roles can be found in the SAA constitution on the SAA website.

As many of you have seen, unfortunately track & trail runners have closed their doors. SAA would like to thank Neil Aleong and  track & trail runners for their support of the Steveston Athletic Association over the past two years. We wish Neil all the best in his future endeavours.

1st position- A person with ability to develop a Power Point presentation of SAA photos for the AGM. Presentation would be about 3-5 mins long and will be played while everyone gathers. Please email Amanda at secretary@thesaa.ca if you are interested.

2nd position- A person who is willing to sell our SAA stuff, clothing, water bottles, stickers, socks etc that we have stored. This would be at the AGM for about 20 mins after the meeting portion finishes. If you are interested, please email Amanda at secretary@thesaa.ca.

Reminder: the date of the AGM is Saturday, March 13th.

Thanks

For our Tuesday night run on March 9th, we’re changing locations to the offices of Precision Health. Run start is still at 6:30pm, but after the run we’re pleased to present Carmen Bott, president of Human Motion, Inc. (sponsor of TriBC) to give a talk on the science behind injury prevention and strength training for triathletes.

Parking is free on Azure and we’ll meet in the Precision Health office for a 6:30 pm run start. (office #430 – 6091 Gilbert Road)

I received enough interest for the Orange/Blue Oakley Jawbones that we’re going to proceed with orders and accept payment. We still need to meet the minimum quantity of 15 (if we don’t meet the minimum then we’ll refund your cheques).

If you would like a pair, please bring a cheque in the amount of $175 + taxes (total $196) made out to Steveston Athletic Association to Stephen Ptucha or Linda Hilts at one of the SAA training sessions before Feb 28th. A big thanks to our club sponsor SPEED THEORY for this unbelievable price for CUSTOM sunglasses (…see the “SAA” etched in the lens).

Unfortunately I only received emails from two people wanting the purple/white version of these glasses so it doesn’t appear we would meet the 15 minimum quantity.
