The fastest woman in the world today is Maggie Vessey! She posted a dramatic win at the Manaco GP last weekend running the 800m in



1:57.84



This is the fastest time run my a woman this year, and 7th fastest ever. She will be representing the USA at the World Championships in Berlin in just a couple weeks! Maggie is a Cal Poly SLO Alumni, and currently lives in Santa Cruz where you can find her training with some of the locals including the UCSC head coach Adam Boothe. Word on the street tells us that Maggie uses Fluid for her training. We certainly hope so, and are proud of her regardless! Congrats Maggie, you deserve it!










 40th Annual Brian Waterbury Memorial Rock to Pier Run - 10K

Morro Bay, Ca

July 11, 2009




 



This was a fantastic race with everyone from Olympic Trialists to Retire walkers. Over 1000 runners made the trek along the ocean from the rock in Morro Bay, to the Pier in Cayucos. It was a beautiful Saturday morning with a nice marine layer to keep the runners cool. Nancy from Fresno said " I love this run, and it gives me a chance to get out to the ocean for a weekend." Fluid was on tap, and ice cold for the thirsty runners, and boy did they love it! This is a wonderful event put on by the Parks and Rec Department, and all proceeds are used for youth sports programs. So who is Brian Waterbury you ask? He was the original founder of the event, and a Cal Poly Alumnus. Just like us! You can learn more about the race HERE, and sign up for next year!



Cheers!



Rich, Dave, and all of Team Fluid.





Samantha Fugate

Laingsburg, MI

Triathlete








Sam is our highlighted athlete this week, and boy does she deserve it! In her last 3 races she has been the overall female winner twice, and age group (20-24) winner 3 times. Not a bad start to a season huh? Sam is from the great state of Michigan where she is a proud Spartan as a Grad Student at Michigan State. In August she plans on racing her first Half - Ironman, and we are excited to see how well she does!



Here is a quote from Sam's Loop'd Profile:



" So now when people ask me what I do, I answer
"I'm a triathlete."  That gets surprised looks and looks that say
"you're crazy!" but I can't imagine doing anything else.  There is
something great about the pain, the endurance and finishing.  It's
alluring and addicting and I love it."



You can learn more about Sam HERE. IF you are a business looking to work with a new athlete, I'm sure she would love to hear from you!








As always, we admire and are truly grateful to all of our athletes for their hard work, and representing us so darn well!



Cheers!



Rich, Dave, and all of Team Fluid.

San Luis Obispo Downtown Criterium
San Luis Obispo, CA
July 5, 2009


 

Ahhhh! What a wonderful day of racing! Perfect weather, in a perfect town, with a fast downtown criterium. Can life really get any better than that? July 5th marked the 3rd annual SLO Downtown Criterium brought to us by our friends at Nimble Creative Events. It was another perfect day with a huge vendor fair, and a spectacular turn-out of racers. Even Fluid founder Dave Brown was in the Cat 5 field! The racing was fierce in the Pro events as both the Men and Women Cat 1/2 races shared $10,000 in proze money. Fluid was available all day to the racers, and we had quite a few of our sponsored teams in the field. This included the local SLO-Nexus, as well as Suami's and UCC from Sand Diego. It was a great day! You can see more pictures of the event HERE!

We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July. If you have a good story to tell, we would love to hear about your weekend!

Cheers!

Rch, Dave, and all of Team Fluid.
