Training 24/7 - The Life of a Triathlete

If you are viewing the videos!!

They may take a few minutes to "load" (depending on how fast your system is) by letting them run through once with stops.  After two - three mins of loading (watch the percentage), they will play completely through.  Trust me, they are worth the wait!  Thanks!

Something To Inspire You

Recently Accepted to the Mark Allen Online Elite Triathlon Team 07-08!

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.       Isaiah 41:10

Mark Allen Online Team

 You can find them all over the country.   Thirty to forty athletes that are either accepted, or re-accepted, each year to represent Mark Allen Online Coaching as part of their elite triathlon team.  This year, because of my past results, I will be part of the team and not only will reap the benefits of amazing coaching, and be part of a team which is something I have missed since my college years on Penn State's Cross Country team.  I'm very excited to be part of the team, so I will keep you posted on how the training is going.  I am thankful for the opportunity, and I can't wait to start the training!

Washington Reprograhics www.washingtonreprographics.com

For over 30 years, Washington Reprographics has been providing quality reproductions to the city of Pittsburgh with six convenient locations.  Reprographics is more than just document printing, they do large format printing, vehicle and window graphics, banners and signs and more!  I couldn't believe the quick turnaround time for our projects and that seemed to be more of a standard than an exception.  Their website is amazing and can easily guide you to submit docs, get a quote or find out more about their amazing service.  They also have a bike team here in Pittsburgh, so look out for them on the cycling circuit!  Thanks to John and his excellent staff for making me look good in front of my boss!

Super Donut - The Most Nutritious Donut In the World!

Super Donuts are the only donut that supplies Minerals, Vitamins & Protein to create M.V.P Nutrition!  Super Donuts have been served all over the country to help kids start their day with a healthy breakfast.  Now, they are coming to your grocer's freezer section to deliver convenience, and nutrition all in one.  The best part about Super Donuts is not only are they delicious, they also support the community by nominating a Most Valuable Person in each market.  Here in Pittsburgh, it is Hines Ward, Pittsburgh's running back.  His work in the community earned him the honor of MVP off the field, and Super Donut donates back to the Helping Hands Foundation with proceeds from the sale of Super Donut & Super Bun boxes!

I Love Big Bang Bikes!

Glenn and the team at Big Bang Bikes are amazing.  They provided excellent service as I was buying my first triathlon bike this past spring.  They answered all of my questions and when my bike eventually came in, they fitted my bike like so it now feels as if it is part of my body!  They are so knowledgable and nice!  Go see them and check out their website!
