NEWS FROM THE COACH

 Hello and thanks for receiving our updates.
I want to take a moment to inform you of the latest developments here at 'Coaching Central'.
Last week we were in Madison WI where we shot the newest installment to the 'On the Road' series, Volume 4 - Madison Wisconsin Training Ride. In this ride, we previewed the Iron distance bike course so athletes have a better understanding of how to tackle it and develop a race day strategy. And even if you aren't racing, you'll enjoy the rolling hills and farm country (corn anyone??) that Madison has to offer! Most interesting will be the fact we had four riders in this new Virtual reality title including two male riders and two female riders. In addition, we had two 'helmet cams' for added perspective. This new title will be ready in about 2-3 months so please stay tuned.
Yesterday and today I watched the Iron Girl race held in Columbia Maryland with over 2000 participants! Wow...amazing! Congrats to all of the first timers who finished. The friendly atmosphere and managable distance of the race make it a perfect experience for all involved. My little 3.5 yr old liked to watch the racers and asked me when she can become a 'triathlaloner'. :) I said that she could someday, secretly preferring she takes up golf and gets on the LPGA Tour instead! :)
Hey, look for the launch of my new 'team member' website soon! This new site will include tons of useful training info., podcasts, video clips, course profiles, athlete profiles and much more. If all goes well, it'll be launched in September and you can sign up to receive free training DVDs, discounts on camps and much more. Stay tuned!
That's all for now...thanks again for reading. Get back to your training now!
Train safe and train smart,
Coach Troy

| COMING SOON! - TUCSON TRAINING RIDE DVD |
|
 COMING SOON!
Ride 'virtually' through the high desert of Tucson Arizona with Coach Troy.
Known throughout multisport and cycling circles as the ideal winter training destination, Tucson offers ideal weather along with challenging terrain. This winter, train indoors as you climb to over 7000 ft. with Coach Troy up Mt. Lemmon or as you suffer up the almost 20% grade up the backside portion of Gates Pass.
Better yet, do one of the March 2008 training camps in person and get a DVD for FREE! (Attention all 2006 Campers: We'll be shipping you a complimentary copy of this DVD when it's ready as a 'thank you' for attending this year's camp!).

COACH TROY'S PERSONAL CLIENT UPDATE -
Strategic Planning
|
|
 Hey! If you have not sent me your training log yet for the past couple of weeks for review, please get them to me asap (yes, I'm talkn' to you! :)
Also, please start thinking about the transition into the post season and planning your 2008 race season. I know it seems early but we all know how fast races fill these days so we need to discuss your priority events and how they'll fit into your overall training scheme. We'll touch base on this next time we talk about your plan but in the meantime, start making some notes that we can go over.
And finally, I'll be contacting you directly soon about sending me your photos for a new 'athlete profile' section on my new website. Thousands of people from around the world will visit the site each month so make sure you find a good one that shows your 'best side'!:)
Talk to you soon...
Coach Troy
