Coaching anyone? (take #2)

Last time I published a post looking for a coach to join my team I was kind of shooting in the dark because my blog was brand new and I didn't really think people were reading it... but I got an email straight away from D'arcey. I guess it was pure luck and was simply meant to be :) It also lead me to believe I should try that again! So, here goes: I am looking for multisport coaches to join my team... contact me through www.ptcoaching.ca if you are interested in finding out more.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

Sooke Spring (?) Sprint Tri

It snowed on Friday & Saturday, which was extremely random for the end of April in Victoria... In a pretty big contrast, Sunday was a clear, beutiful but still a really cold day. I almost wish I raced myself so I could stay warm (almost is the key word here...). 6 PT Performance Training athletes raced and all of them did very well. It was an excellant way to get the season started! Well done guys :)

The following course description is taken directly from the race website: www.steamboat50.com. "The course is a spectacular 50 mile run through the beautiful mountains and fall colors of the Routt National Forest of northern Colorado. The race starts bright and early at the Steamboat Springs ski area (elevation, 6,900 feet) and proceeds up, up, up to Mount Werner (elevation, 10,568 feet) then goes up and down and up and down some more and then across the Continental Divide to Rabbit Ears Mountain (elevation, 11,000 feet) before heading back and way down to the ski area. The course will have nearly 9,000 feet of climbing. This course will test the endurance and spirit of any runner". Sound like fun, right? Below is the course elevation. Kind of nuts... will be a fun and challenging day for sure!



And the running begins... 5 months to go :)

Its ON!!!

Well, I finally did it.

I registered for my first ultramarathon... 50 mile of hills, hills and some more hills. I didn't really need to sign up now, as the race is in mid September... but I figured signing up early will be what I need to fully commit and start training properly!!

I will post more details about the race tomorrow. Its late and I have a busy day tomorrow... I plan on running before coaching in the am and then I have a full day of meetings and writing training programs, mine included!!

Im excited... it will be my first race in 5 years! Can my body handle all that running after my CFS diagnosis in 2003? I think so :)
