ZOOT PRODUCT of the WEEK!!!!

http://lavamagazine.com/gear/first-look-new-shoe-and-wetsuit-offerings-from-zoot

Check everything out at the above link. I was fortunate enough to start training in the OTEC. They are exactly what I am looking for in a trainer. Coming from a running background, I want a fast and responsive shoe that is light and neutral. This one really does it for me and I plan to use it for my long miles on the roads and trails. Check 'em out!

2 Bikes
3-4 Runs

Nutrition
Staying very steady and close to an 80/20 model of Paleo.
Supplementing with First Endurance (Firstendurance.com) Multi-V, First Endurance Optygen, and good Fish Oils.
I’ve noticed that I have had more energy and that when others seem to be getting the flu, I remain healthy. (knock wood)

I’m getting increasingly excited, by the day, about the way training is going. Crossfit has been extremely beneficial in what I am trying to get my body to do for me. I’m feeling strong across the board – swim, bike, run, throwing Ramsey over my head, carrying groceries in, etc…
This week, I was fortunate enough to attend a Crossfit Endurance Seminar in San Francisco. I honestly did not think that I would learn as much as I did. I also did not expect to make any changes to my run form, but I will. It was also nice to meet, in person, the figures behind this movement. Kelly Starett (mobility.blogspot.com) was such a nice guy and an extremely cool host. TJ Murphy (Triathlete Mag Editor) was soaking everything in with a smile, the same way I was. It was common for us to smile, think to ourselves that we have it right, and share that the skeptics can say and post all they want. Then there was Brian Mackenzie(iamunscared.com). He is such an approachable guy that truly cares about his product helping others. He doesn’t hesitate to share his knowledge in the most non-bullshit type of way. This seminar was a game changer for me. I am going to use this program to compete well in professional triathlon this year. I’m sure of it.
