Things are great at 8am

Reasons why it’s great starting class at 8am:

-cooler temps
-no traffic
-you’ll be ready to start your weekend with a great workout already under your belt
-since you had a great workout, you can begin the weekend eating breakfast tacos guilt-free
-it’s better than starting at 7am

Feel free to add your own reasons in the comments section.

Don’t forget we swim at the Balcones Neighborhood pool at Duval and Amherst. Please show up before 8am so we’re in the pool on time. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

See you tomorrow!

Triathlon for Women book updates

Lisa will travel to Penticon, B.C. for more book signings next week at Ironman Canada.

Her book Triathlon for Women — A mind-body-spirit approach for female athletes is available at online book retailers or in Austin’s most popular triathlon stores. If you wish to order a personally signed copy, please contact her.

Her last book signing in April at Ironman Arizona in Phoenix (Tempe) was a tremendous success with Triathlete Magazine posting this article.

A book signing in January in Victoria, B.C. with Sister Madonna Buder, produced two great articles — Why You Should Tri and This Nun Inspired to Run.

Reviews have appeared in Triathlon BC Newsmagazine (pages 20-21), Competitor Texas, and Runner Triathlete News.
