Triathlon Training Camp- Register now if you want to come to camp

Registration for our Annual Triathlon Training Camp at Lake Placid is going very well. As of today, we have about 7 slots remaining available until camp is "sold out". We're very happy with that news because it (we hope) speaks to the reputation of the coaches who manage this camp, myself and my good friend and colleague, Tom Manzi.

We intend to run a 1st class camp. We don't coach any other way. That's why we limit the number of people who we have in our camp. It's our expectation that everyone who attends will get individual attention and some actual coaching. The people registered so far span the spectrum of Triathlete from sprint and Olympic distance people to those intending on racing at Ironman USA this year. We've charted out rides from 10 to 112 miles (and more if you wish). We're putting together some workshops on varied and (we think) interesting topics ranging from how to calculate your Training Stress Score for your three sports to race day strategies for Ironman.

We're excited about this year's camp (as we have been each year that we've done it). Tom and I have done almost 500 tris between us and the thrill of the starting line has never changed for either one of us so we can identify with the excitement of our campers. We'd love to have you along, but as I mentioned, we do limit the size of our camp and we're thrilled that we'll likely sell out in the next week or so. So if you're interested, or have questions, shoot me an email or give me a call and we can address any thoughts that you might have...but do it soon!

Some Early Season Dos and Donts | Inspired Performance Coaching

During the early part of the training season, your focus should be on much more than just getting back to training. You should create a broad-brush picture of what your training will look like (your Annual Training Plan) and then set out to accomplish the specific goals you've set for this early part of the year. In this article, I give you my take on what your goals should focus on.

For 2011, a number of North Jersey athletes will be training together, following a similar (but individually customized) training plan. The plan will break down into details of daily swim, bike, run or strength and conditioning workouts. Training will begin on the Monday following Thanksgiving. The group, however, will be limited in size and only six (6) slots are still available. Read more!

Congratulations, Jenny Zhang

Congratulations to Jenny for a great performance at Age Group Nationals in Tuscaloosa. Jenny landed a spot on Team USA to compete at the World Championship in Beijing next September!

Inspired Performance Athletes Continue to Kick Butt

Congratulations to Amy Broadwell who just completed her first Ironman at Lake Placid. Amy kicked butt and achieved her goal times in the swim and bike and although slowed down by a migraine, still managed to finish off the run and complete the event in a highly respectable time. Bobby Cooper recently took 2nd place in his age group in the CA Police and Fire Games. Jenny Zhang won 2nd place in her age group at the NJ State Triathlon. Great job, all of you and a nice payoff for your hard work!

Congratulations Bobby Cooper, Rich Kiser and Jennie Zhang

Congratulations to Inspired Performance Athletes who are having a great season so far. Bobby Cooper placed 3rd in his age group in the FLOW 2 mile swim in California. He is preparing for IM Arizona this year (his A Race). Bobby followed up his 3rd place swim with a 3rd place tri finish a week later. Rich Kiser placed 1st in his age group in the Highline Hustle Triathlon in Grand Junction, CO. Jenny Zhang placed 2nd in her age group at the Mooseman 70.3 triathlon in Bristol, NH and then returned to NJ to place 3rd at the Philly Tri in what can only be described as "hellish" conditions on the course! Great job.
