Successful Escape!

This year I coached a group of a few dozen athletes from all over the globe in their preparations for the world famous Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco, California.  The group was diverse in its background, fitness and skill sets but all had the common goal of a successful escape. Below is a note from one of this year's Alcatraz triathlon training program participants.


Rachel,
I wanted to thank you for the plan you provided us to prepare for the Alcatraz race.  Despite arthroscopic knee surgery in November, a hip flexor injury in January and a bad case of respiratory flu in February, I made it through the race under my goal time of 3 hours.  I credit the plan you put together for much of what I consider to be a very successful race.  Thank you…and best of luck with the remainder of the 2013 season!

Bike Fit Success!

Very proud to help athletes ride pain free! Here is an email we received from a athlete who had a Hypercat Racing bike fit with Philip Casanta before the Solvang Century earlier this month.

Phil, 

I was in your shop last wednesday and got a bike fit. I just wanted to say thank you again for doing an excellent job. I put the bike fit to the ultimate test and rode in the Solvang century without any pain or discomfort. As I mentioned before that the farthest ride that i have been on was about 45 miles on this new bike and i was having pain in my back, arms, hands and knees. So to not have anything at all I am truly grateful. I look forward to referring people to you and also doing more business in the future.

Thanks again, Dennis Fox
