Multisport Coordinators
After finishing his second Ironman during the summer of 2012, Ironman New York, Sean Gillick is looking forward to focusing on shorter distance triathlons in his sixth year of triathlon racing. Having joined Front Runners two years ago, Sean is excited to offer advice and support to members seeking to get more involved in multisport activities.
When Jeff Grossman joined Front Runners in 2011, the longest he had run was five miles, which he had done exactly twice. On his first fun run, he ran the entire loop of Central Park because he wasn’t sure where the transverses were. Since then, he has completed the club’s beginners’ clinic, two half-marathons, two sprint triathlons, and NYRR’s 9+1 program to qualify for the marathon this November. He is also looking forward to his first Olympic triathlon.
After a decade on the stage, Marcus Woollen became a theater marketing specialist… and after a decade behind a desk came many extra pounds. in 2010 ago Marcus began a journey towards fitness by biking to work. A year later he joined Front Runners right after the Pride Run and began running again. And in 2012 Marcus ran his first marathon in many years and completed his first triathlon.
