Back to work

After Cedar Point and taking advantage of a easy/recovery week, I headed to Boston where I would meet Jesse Kropelnicki. Jesse is the founder of QT2 Systems (www.qt2systems.com), the Core Diet (www.thecorediet.com) and Your 26.2 (www.your262.com). Jesse was the man behind the preparation for Rev 3 Cedar Point (if you can call it a preparation) and I must say I was really impressed by his commitment to triathlon. He takes everything to detail and individualization which gives me a lot of confidence in his work.

Excited to get back to work, I took a plane to the mountains in Colorado. In Cedar Point I had met Doug MacLean with who I'm staying in North of Boulder. My body has really worked well in the past with the effect of high-altitude training. I know two weeks is not enough to get the best out of it but at least it is something. In Boulder, we are at 1600 meters but it's fairly easy to bike/run at higher altitudes and from what I can tell from the first day, the logistics of training is pretty simple. The pools is down the road and bike and run can be done from the house. Can't ask for much more. I guess that's why I bumped into world class athletes, coaches and ironman champions on my very first workout here. Also, seems like everyone in Colorado rides a bike given the number of people riding today. Hopefully the weather will be nice as it was today: 68 F & dry.

In the meantime, I signed in for Austin 70.3 and Miami 70.3 so that is what follows on my 2011 schedule.
