Select your race's, enter and commit


Sign up and commit to events! Not often we'll ride 100 miles and then race a 1/2 marathon the following day. Yet every year in PS come February the opportunity is there, so we sign up & commit. Leg's may be a little flat for Sunday's run, which makes it all the better training. Xlnt prep for any upcoming half or Ironman distance. Sign up and commit to our upcoming triathlon clinic/day camp. Your next(even if it's your first) triathlon will love you for it.

Sunday's Sunset


We headed home after this sunset with a beautiful full moon rising. Total of 38 miles mountain biking. 18 miles off road running for the weekend. Down time was a dinner at the cafe', watching the Hurt Locker DVD, hot mineral spa's and sleeping in. In this mad and hectic rat race world, we must take care of ourselves. Do what you enjoy. Be good to yourself. And be good to others.

pic from other side.....

That is our park, SkyValley on the left middle.That is the San Andrea's Fault behind. The mountain I am running here is called Liz's memorial. An awesome, beautiful, serene and challenging 2500 elevation gain run.. In my opinion, how training should be.................

That way!!!


You can see where the canyon ends about 12 miles from this point. Then we flip it and the effort level climb's. Just one of the many optional (and optimal) ride's behind our place. Often we bust out a 6 or ten mile run on the other side (pics of that side later)Hot natural mineral tub's await the return. Epic.

San Andrea's ride/drop/run


Jodi dropping down into Canyon. The route offer's much: Rocky in places, single track, climb's, hardpack, softpack, and I did I mention beauty? On the return we often drop the bike's blast out a mile or two run, bike again, repeat. Xlnt, simply excellent time.............And effect.

Weekend in the desert


We escaped the wetness and headed for our Secret Training Tiki Shack and an hour and a half away. The San Andrea's fault line is directly behind our park. We ride in the canyon 15 miles out and then 15 of sandy, gradual climb back. Makes for a darn good time on the bike. The landscape is like no other. Sheer beauty. Jodi and local boy, Chris V.
