    Death Ride 7/12/08


    Coming into the week before the Death Ride I couldn't have been more stoked, I had tied my personal best around Lake Tahoe with a time of 3:11 hours with a 22.2 mph average speed and was feeling strong. The rest of the week was rough as I found myself getting many hours of sleep but not good quality so my coach and I backed off a bit so I wouldn't get sick and this left me with a big question mark on how my '08 edition of the Death Ride would pan out... I was pleasantly surprised! My friend Seth Wealing and I drove to Markleeville Friday afternoon to pick up our ride packets and the smoke from all the fires around the area reduced visibility to less than a ½ mile. I wasn't concerned about the effects of the smoke but was bummed for Seth that he wouldn't be able to see the amazing beauty that the terrain has to offer.


    Captain Ed's Journal


    Well, this month has been focused on rebuilding my fitness after a June that saw me go through an 11 day training exercise with 14-20 hour days, and a week long fishing trip to northern Manitoba, Canada with my father. While the fishing trip was a bit more fun than the 11 day training exercise, there wasn't a lot of exercise going on in northern Manitoba.


    Winner at Ironman China - Cheryl Dursten-Decker


    Winner Ironman China (1st Female 55-59)

    I'm a busy physician and Ironman triathlete and I have been training and racing in triathlons since 1983!

    As the years passed, I noticed a steady decline in the amount of training my body could handle. I also took note of the fact that I was slowing down faster than other women my age. In 2007,1 embarked on a quest to qualify for Kona and added strength training and MAP to my swim/bike/run regimen.

    Since taking 5-6 tablets of MAP daily, my strength and especially recovery have greatly improved. Simply, I can handle more training than before... .and the results are in! Recently, I won my age group at the Ironman in China, reaching my goal... I qualified for the "Big Kahuna".

    I look forward to toeing the line for the Hawaiian Ironman this October, with MAP as the central piece of my total training plan.

    Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 - Like Lemmings to Lubbock

    by IM Age Group World Champion Cherie Gruenfeld

    It's the end of June and that can only mean one thing: It's time for the Buffalo Springs Lake Triathlon. This event has been around for 19 years, but it's still a fairly well-kept secret. It's in Lubbock, Texas, which is not your "garden-spot" locale. However, the old faithfuls make the trek back every year as it if were Woodstock. Why is that?

    One of the reasons (actually two of the reasons) are race directors extraordinaire, Mike and Marti Greer, who put on an old-fashioned Half Ironman race where they cater to the athlete in every way (short of making the course easier). Although, since 1994 when temperatures read 113 degrees out on the run course, they've included this on their web site: "We may alter the race based on extreme weather conditions." So I guess they'd even make the course easier if it helped the racers.
