Awesome Job Everyone! Congratulations! I know for some of you, that was even your first Tryathlon, and some of your first trail races as well.  Just getting out and being a part of the events are fantastic, you all are strong athletes! :)
Being the fastest is not our ultimate goal here, although we love it when we see you guys achieve so much, and are happy for you.  We are here for everyone.  Brand new, off the couch, walkers, everyone.

“You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great” ― Zig Ziglar  I am glad you all started.  :)  

Everyone has done a fantastic job so far, and i wanted to share a couple photos from this weekend...Lisa Guedes first trail fall...   You were a tough cookie, and finished your run! Awesome job!


Kim Degen took a fall as well, and way to go Kimmy, you busted out a great run Sunday too.  :) I hope you guys are felling better.  


For the coming Fall session we will be training for Xterra Crystal Cove, Whoo's in El Moro, Griffith Park Trail Races.  Just to give you an idea what is ahead.  :)  Fun and exciting stuff!

You guys ROCKED IT! unbelievable! Great job! 





For those of you who did not know, we do have a Tri group as well, and we had a fun little adventure on Saturday after our morning class.  We had what is called a "fun" 2 mile swim from Balboa pier to Newport pier.  :)  Kim, Elizabeth, Pete and Myself all did this.  This was Pete's 2cd time.  We all decided it would be fun to do, and to try to stay together while we did it as well, and we pretty much did.  Here are our times...


Pete 57th overall in his division with a time of 1:06:57
Corrinne 18th overall in my division with a time of 1:07:19
Kim 19th overall in her division with a time of 1:08:46
Elizabeth 22cd overall in her division with a time of 1:10:33


YAY! We did not get eaten by sharks! If any of you have ever swam with me in the ocean, you know it is very hard for me because i am so afraid of sharks. I did it.  :) It really was the most relaxing swim i have ever done in my life.  I almost fell asleep believe it or not.  





Beach Babe...


What can i say about beach babe? We all had a fun ride, not competitive at all, cruising the boardwalk on Sunday and having fun. They had a great amount of food at the aid stations, and it turned out to be a windy, but nice day.  A fun way to get some miles in and not feel to intimidated.


Great job Ladies!





We are really enjoying seeing every one's progress, but what really has impressed us over this year, is seeing how well you all are working together, and how you have all really embraced each other and become a family. We love the camaraderie of the group! Thank you for being the best students!
