President’s Message
by Ed Gillen
Welcome to 2016!
This is a very big year for Zoomers as we celebrate our 20th year as a Southwest Florida Run-
ning and Triathlon Club. Where did the name Zoomers come from twenty years ago? Alt-
hough you can envision yourself or other members speedily ‘zooming’ to a finish line at a
race, we weren’t named for being fast. From what I’ve been told, our club’s name actually
came from a piece of equipment called the Zoomer Swim Fin as many of our early members
were triathletes.
Let me introduce myself. My wife Roxanne and I moved to Port Charlotte from Albany, N.Y. in
August 2012. We were both very involved with running clubs there so when we were looking
for houses in this area in 2011, we were hoping to find an active club here. We were fortu-
nate to meet up with Kimmi and Lou van der Veen, Bob and Carol Geyer, Ed and Joan Morgan
and other Zoomers during a fun club event canoeing down the Peace River. We were thrilled
that the club did fun events too. Since arriving, I have served on the Zoomers board as Re-
cording Secretary (2013) and Vice President (2014-2015). As with many volunteer organiza-
tions, sometimes you wear more than one hat. I’ve also served as Race Director of Zoomers
Trick or Trot 5k Trail Run (2013-) and coordinate Zoomers volunteers at other events.
Under the leadership of Dug Stetter, the Zoomers board has made some pretty big changes
over the last two years. We’ve moved away from timing other events so we can now focus on
presenting our own events - whether running, biking, swimming or social. We believe this will
make us a bigger, better, stronger and more welcoming club.
So, as a member, what would you like to see in the upcoming year and beyond for Zoomers?
Let us know! As always, we appreciate your support of Zoomers and I’ll see you at the Finish
Line.

January Birthdays!! Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Element: Earth
Symbol: The Goat
Life Pursuit: To be proud of achieve-ments
Secret Desire: To be admired by their family, friends, and the world
Don’t buy into the
hype that you have to
win a race to be proud
of your achievements.
You do not have to be a
champion to be ad-
mired by your family,
friends, and the world.
Sometimes just finish-
ing a race is a fantastic
achievement. If that is
not enough then may-
be consider doing
something no one has
ever done like being
the first person to run
50 marathons in 50
states backwards!
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18 (Adam’s sign)
Element: Air
Symbol: The Water Bearer
Life Pursuit: To un-derstand life’s mys-teries
Secret Desire: To be unique and original
Your symbol of the Wa-
ter Bearer will be much
appreciated (especially
by Scorpios) in your
next road race as you
become one of the first
ever moving water sta-
tions for the other ath-
letes. Since you want
nothing more than to
be unique and original,
you decide to carry as
much water for the oth-
er runners in the race
to keep them well hy-
drated. This is not a
good strategy for run-
ning fast, so winning
the race might remain
one of life’s mysteries
for you.

Butternut Squash Soup with Chipotle Cream Recipe courtesy of Marcela Valladolid
Total Time:
1 hr 45 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 1 hr 30 min
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 medium butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeds discarded, washed, and reserved Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 medium onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 cups chicken broth, divided
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Chipotle Cream: 1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo 1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, grease the sliced surface of the squash and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Ar-range on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. In a large heavy pot over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil, onion, celery, and carrot, then season with a pinch of salt. Saute until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Scoop the butternut squash flesh into the pot and stir. Add 4 cups of the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Turn off the heat and using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until very smooth. If necessary, add more of the remaining stock to create desired consistency. Mix in 2 teaspoons of the chipotle into the soup, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of chipotle and the sour cream. Season the chipotle cream with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the soup to bowls. Top each with a dollop of chipotle cream and serve.

Zoomers Membership INFO: (New and Renewal)
Zoomers are moving the registration of runners to Runsignup, so it may be necessary for you to claim
your account. If you currently do not have an account created with RunSignUp, then you can create a
new account from your Zoomers club information (use the email you gave ZOOMERS), and if you cur-
rently do have an account on RunSignUp, then you can merge the Zoomers Club information with your
existing account.
Zoomers has Sent out Claim emails to members to claim their accounts or create one. YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP ON RUNSIGNUP if you don’t want to. If you want to renew
another way you have 3 options Zoomersrun.com / PayPal, send in your Paper Registration or hand Dug
or Marti your form and check at a race. But PLEASE claim your membership on runsignup so we can
better manage our members. We are moving to runsignup for the convenience of our member’s info.
With automatic discounts and the ease of changing all memberships to the month of June, the managing
of the membership rolls will be a lot easier. Right now Runsignup membership is pro-rated because
you’re only renewing until June & with every member moving their membership to June we can manage
a better system with offering discount for the whole racing year June to June.
What is better than being able to manage your own renewals/ info when you want, if you need to change
your information you can change it yourself then Zoomers gets that info automatically & Runsignup is
free to be a member, not like the other sites.
If you have not received a Claim email Please go to https://runsignup.com/ClaimAccounts and use the
email you gave Zoomers when you signed up to claim your account. Thank You.
Video on how to sign up @:
https://runsignup.com/How-To/Claim-an-Account
The Email you will get should read:
“You are receiving this E-mail because you or someone else tried to claim an account on RunSignUp linked
to this E-mail address. If you did not initiate this request, please ignore this E-mail. To claim your account,
click on the link below.”
Below that message, you will either find a link that reads “Claim Account”, or a
link(s) that allows you to claim an ac- count for a specified user. When you click
on the link of the account you would like to claim, you will be given three op-
tions for claiming that account.
Option 1: Create New Account

Option one lets you create an entirely new account for the user you selected. To do this, first make sure that
the email address you want associated with this account is correct. Then enter in a password, confirm the
password, and hit the button for “Create New Account”.
The new account will then be opened up to you, and if you “Sign Out”, then you can log back in using the
newly created account’s email and password.
Option 2: Merge with Existing Account
Option two on the claim account page allows you to merge the selected unclaimed account with your existing
account. To do this, begin by logging into your account, and then decide which data you want to be applied to
your account after the merge.
For instance, by selecting a radio button in the “Your Account” column of a specific row, then any spot where
the information in the “Other Account” column of that row appears on the website before the merge, will be
replaced by the “Your Account” selection after the merge (ex: in participant lists, results sections, donation
reports, and so on). Similarly, by selecting a radio button in the “Other Account” column of a specific row, then
any spot where the information in the “Your Account” column of that row appears on the website before the
merge, will be replaced by the “Other Account” selection after the merge.
After selecting the desired information from each account, hit “Merge with Current User”, and you will receive
confirmation that the account was successfully claimed. You will also see that your account information has
been updated to reflect the selections you made in the previous step (if applicable).
Thank You
