You Know Who's The Lucky One ? I Am !
I not only train with Eric as my coach, but on a weekly basis I train WITH Eric as my friend. We have been running together on Sunday's for years and that has helped me develop from a 9 min/mile guy to a... better than 9 min/mile guy.

A Sort of Homecoming- Rob Straz
I've been on a U2 kick lately and "The Unforgettable Fire" stuff has been on rotation. I really like the classics such as "Bad" and 'A Sort of Homecoming". I've had the homecoming song in my head due to my pending trip to CT for the first running of the Rev 3 half iron. Yeah WTC, I said half "iron" so sue me if you don't like it... read on

 

Griskus Updates
The 23rd Pat Griskus Sprint was running slightly behind last year at this time but is now actually ahead of last year, so if you or someone you know is considering it, don't wait as it will likely close out pre race. - Sprint registration link

CT Camp Wrap-up
MVP Reports

I knew that this was to be her springboard this year. read Megan's Report

Sue- Sue Flemming was a great athlete to have at the CT camp this year. She is a new triathlete – well, she hasn’t even raced a tri yet! I love working with people like Sue, who are new and fresh to the sport and who are not aware yet of what they may be capable of. I used the first day to assess where Sue was at and was surprised by how much fitness she has in her already. read Sue's Report
