... an update that is! It is spring, and things have sprung!
Well, at least I have been thinking about updating this thing and I everyone at least this. The post that I have floating around in my head surrounds endurance sports and technology. The technology being HR monitors, power meters, garmins AND check these out ... the brain, the force, intuition and all things surrounding perceived exertion! Of course I don't have time for that right now since we are in the process of moving. So it's quickie time ... brief athlete updates!
Early April or California 70.3 (whichever comes first) seems to light the new triathlon race season. Over the last two weeks we have a had a few of the crew kicking things off and blowing the cobwebs out.
Amanda Erwin ... started her triathlon season at the sticky, hot, and windy New Orleans 70.3. Though she came up a little sticky on the run she was able to hold on to 9th place overall in a very strong field!
Chuck Sloan ... after a winter of unfortunate illness and incident we didn't know how Chuck was going to open up the season. Well, most people would be thrilled with an AG 7th place (15th overall), and fastest age group run split at a race like Oceanside ... but all it did for Chuck is light his fire for later in the year. It gave us a great marker for the season as we press on.
Phil Johnson ... fresh off another PB half marathon in march Phil follows up with an age group 2nd place and 19th overall out of 600 at the Vineman Showdown. Giddy Up!
Layne Scoggins ... kicked off his season on the podium at the Vineman Showdown as well. Third place and 37th overall!
Amanda, Chuck and Phil all raced with a variety of technology ( powertaps, garmin, the force) and we can chat more about that next time! ;)
Good kick off to the season.
Until next time ... DL
