Furnace Creek 508, Xterra, Ironman................

Big fishes (races) hooked on the line.  3 huge races in one month. October 2012: Furnace Creek 508. Xterra World Championships. Ironman World Championships. Not many people have done "The Double." Very few in fact. Back to back (qualifying for both) Triathlon World Championships. Ironman one week. Xterra the next. We even flew home after Ironman in Kona only to return to Maui later that week for Xterra. Fortunately in this only instance the Furnace Creek 508 is on the mainland.
     

 Yep big fishes on the line. How about you? Do you have a hook out for a big fish? We are training ourselves and others to go big. TO GO BIG............. Bait the hook (train) cast it out (sign up for race) see what you can achieve. Maybe more than you think.

CNN Fit Nation Carlos' bike arrival!!!!

Exciting stuff for Carlos. CNN just delivered his new ride. The Nautica Malibu Triathlon is on the radar for Carlos Solis and 5 other chosen athletes in our country representing CNN's Fit Nation. That's even more exciting. Carlos first time on a road bike was about three hours ago. This is not only a journey for Carlos Solis. But myself as well. Top priority for me is Carlos' safety and welfare. Second is to have him ready to complete a near Olympic distance triathlon. We are off to a great start.  Welcome again to the world of multi sport Carlos. Time to rock and roll. Like a rock star.

Races

It's that time of year. One can find a race every weekend. Since I consider racing just another hard training day it is easy to convince myself. We have Xterra points race end of this month @ Bonelli. The Grapestomp reverse tri the following weekend at Chaffey College. Xterra Southwest Championships @ Lake Las Vegas the Saturday after that. Only to return to race the next day opening the Los Angeles Triathlon Series (on very spent legs)
              Racing is fun and exciting. Whether it be in a foriegn country. A different state. Or our own backyard. Hope to see you in all three..........................
