Quad busting climbs in the desert

We know where the secret spots are out there behind our Tiki mobile home. Secret meaning, only we seem to know of it, and we've gotten to know it well. San Andrea's Fault line, the earth and formation's there are out of this world. Huge fun. Huge exploration. Challenging training. We would like to share it with a certain few this fall when it cool's down. We are used to the heat. Acclimated. Most would crack right now. But if you didn't you can handle anything after this.

Mt. Baldy Duathlon!!!

You can actually sign up on this link.. Click here to see more info. Sign up so we can keep our local races alive. This is one where you really get your money's worth. Four free lift passes for family and friends with an inexpensive entry fee??? Beautiful.

More epic training!!!!!

Using Mt. Baldy Duathlon race coming up as a focus, rode, dropped bikes, ran repeated 4x's to give all a very challenging and strength building 3 hour training session. Here Jodi out rides 2 of Bonita High's Varsity cross country runners, Mark and Dillon. They would then reel her in on the run, put in a nice gap, and then Jodi would do the same on the bike. They will be animals on the bike after sufficient training. Running is priority now though. Absolutely fun, maxed heart rate work out today!

Mt. Baldy Duathlon coming up!!!!

The off road Mt. Baldy Duathlon is back on Sept. 18. This is a must do!!! It is a pretty challenging yet pretty short course. Not too technical but thin air grinding climbs. I did it last year and had a blast. It is right here in our backyard and an inexpensive entry. The race director really takes care of the athletes. Lots of schwag and goodies.I will post more info as I get it. Photo's here of Jodi @ previous Xterra by famous Terry Martin.

Dillon Nobbs 3rd at National's

Five months. That's how long young Dillon Nobbs has been in the sport of triathlon. Coming from a swimming backround, a new and naturally fast runner (High School Varsity this freshman year) just placed 3rd @ USAT Junior Nationals. 45 seconds from 1st. And his cycling training has been minimal. His swim and run carried him. When X-country is over, cycling becomes a priority. And when that talent matches the other two, that cake mix is going to win lots of races.

Training fun!!!

We have not competed in 3 or 4 week's, but our quality load of training exists non the same. Some epic rides right here in our back yard lately. Here is a shot of Jodi about to launch a little taken by none other than the best: Terry Martin. We have clinics coming up. Stay tuned. And get fast. And have some serious fun at it.

Los Angeles Triathlon race #3

Yes, racing is fun. Really fun when you get out of the water top 20, come off the bike in 3rd place and run down the 2 in front of you for the overall win. Even funner when the two in front of you are half your age. Yes, the young one's got schooled by the old boy this day. 25 years of racing and still having as much, if not more.....fun. Thanks for the fun guys. That's Corey in the green shirt, our Title Sponsor. It would have been nice had he said something like: Go Dave. Or keep it up Dave.. you're 3 minutes back Dave....you look old Dave. Or even : "Boo" But nothing. Oh well, guess I didn't need it this day anyway! :)
