It took me awhile but I'm finally getting back to an update here. It seemed that when camp finished up other things when straight to the top of the priority list and the blog went down the list ;)
PART I
The first thing I wanted to do was take the time to say thank you to some folks for their support at the training camp.
First off, the sponsors who were so well received and appreciated!
Fuel Belt - www.fuelbelt.com Scott & Vinu helped take care of the crew with welcome gifts for everybody and plenty of items to spread around the camp ... thanks guys!
www.Xtri.com - Thanks to Betsy Delcour for encouraging me to keep writing and getting all the content up over at the site.
Oomph! - http://www.oomphsports.com/ for providing give aways and the great leaders jersey's! Be sure to keep an eye out for their 2008 line up when it unveils later this spring.
Blue Seventy - www.bluesventy.com For those of you that don't know. On top of great speed suits and wetsuits, Blue Seventy makes great goggles! Thanks for the support fellas!
Infinit Nutrition - For providing great sports nutrition support with all of the drinks in the support vehicle to recovery drinks after each session. Click on the Infinit link on the sidebar to get started with your custom blended drink .. NOW ;)
ALCiS Pain Relief - this stuff was an absolute hit for many of the folks in camp! Stories spread about waking up in the middle of the night just to rub some of the stuff on aching joints and muscles! I saw more than a few people use it during the middle of a ride.
Last but not least is my sister Amy and Scott Wing! Amy was brilliant in the support vehicle and logistics. She kept things rolling, always had what anyone could want AND took all the photos! Also, Scott Wing who did all the cycling during camp and did a tremendous job of taking care of anyone who fell off the back of the group or needed extra assistance. Scott, A Camelback employee also provided everyone in camp some of their Elixer electrolyte product and one of their just released water bottles ... you gotta try them both! MANY thanks to both of you!
I am going to save some thoughts, and an article, for later on so we can move on from the camp. I'll post up the entire "Build Your Own Training Camp" article later on as we start thinking about a mid summer weekend camp and another three day camp in the fall!
PART II - Athlete Update
In the midst of all the other happenings at camp we had three of our teammates roll out more early season results!
Todd Hink - At the Little Rock Half Marathon Todd won the 35-39 Age Group and finished 11th overall (2200 finishers) running 1:20. Good start to the year for Todd who will follow up with Powerman Alabama and St Croix Ironman 70.3
Amanda Erwin - Amanda won her age group at the AT&T Austin Half Marathon and finished 11th female overall on the hilly course! Another great result to prep for the 2008 season.
Dana Chance - At the same At&T Austin Half Marathon AND in the same age group Dana pulled off a 4th place and set a new personal best on a challenging course. A great way to to start things off for Dana as she preps for the Lone Star Half Ironman and Ironman Brazil (May)
Thanks for reading, and until next time ... DL
