Ok, so I’m not really a trifuel trader… I actually post on trifuel, but very rarely on ST. However, the gals training weekend is in my backyard (about 1.5 hours away) so I decided to go. I’m there now — it’s Thursday (yesterday) through Sunday. Up in Valermo where Dan Empfield (of Slowtwitch and QR and tribike fame) and Mark Montgomery (who was a pro) have a great setup of housing and training routes and food and everything we could need.

Lots of girls and bikes and exercise… So far a run yesterday, a bike this am, a swim this afternoon, and some possible plans for a run this evening. And Emilio DeSoto (of DeSoto tri clothing) bought us all lunch. He brought some clothes stuff and we get to check it out later.

Oh and on my ride today my bike was still having chain issues and hopping a bit. Emilio was able to fix it though! He said it sounded like it could be a tight link or one slighly off (since it was a new chain and new cassette) and by just putting lateral pressure on it fixed it, and it was great the rest of the ride! So the ride was good.

Good times

About Kylie

I'm a Southern CA girl that has been doing tris since 2004 and adventure races since 2005. I have a mission statement: stronger, passion, faster, desire. I want to get stronger, but am not willing to break my passion for sport in doing so. I'm going to get faster, and that burning desire will still be lit.

I have a great support crew! There is my awesome fiance & chiropractor Mike. And there is my coach and friend, the power genius Marky. Plus all those friends over at Trifuel and Endurance Nation.

The 2008 big tri focus: spending a year getting faster (and without an IM). A half IM, and hopefully my first olympic! Oh and that whole grad school thing starting. Bring it!
