Triathlon Training Blitz Week!

By Jaime Willis

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. 

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omni potent. 

The slogan "press on" has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.

-Calvin Coolidge

Less than a month from now, Matt & I, as well as our good friend and mentor, Sam Horn, will begin training for a great new goal - completing our first mini triathlon.

If the previous sentence caused you a bit of hyperventilation, you are not alone! A triathlon, even a 'mini' triathlon seems daunting.  For some of you, it may even feel impossible.  I am here to tell you right now that NOTHING is impossible.  

We think that you, yes YOU, can complete a triathlon.

We have so much faith in you, we've invited you, yes YOU, to join us in training for the Luray Mini Triathlon.  If you live in the District, Maryland, and Virginia, you can join us Sunday, May 1 for sixteen weeks of training, support, and most of all, FUN.  If you are a bit further out, we still invite you to join us virtually through our weekly triathlon newsletter -- where you'll get a copy of the official Luray Triathlon Training Program as well as weekly tips and motivation to do your best!

We are so excited about this, we've declared this week "Triathlon Training Blitz Week." This means we will be posting THREE times a day all week!  We hope that you enjoy Blitz Week as much as we will!

If you have any questions about the triathlon training program that are not answered in our Training Program Page, please email us!  We'll do a Frequently Asked Questions post later on this week, so everyone can benefit from the answer to your great questions.

Believe It.  Achieve It!
