Good luck to everyone racing at CactusMan and St. George 70.3 this weekend! (How fun to finally be able to say something like this!)
This spring weather is just the best! It goes along well with the positive vibes that are growing in the endurance community now that more in-person races are returning. 
Kemp Conrad and his awesome family!
Finally . . . events are slowly starting to return. We had quite a few people racing last weekend! Congrats to all!
Ed Wallis – Sylamore 50K
We had some great run performances last weekend! The Lost Dutchman here in Phoenix, the Sylamore Ultra Runs in AR, and Frank Smith knocked out a virtual 50K on his treadmill in OH!
Happy New Year, everyone! First results from 2021 and one last result from 2020. Frank Smith completed the “Christmas Fixes Everything” virtual marathon in Ohio. Frank finished in 6:04. This marks his 169th marathon or ultra-race!!
It’s hard to believe I’m writing this, but in 2021, we are entering our 18th year of coaching. We absolutely must offer our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of you–Camelback Coaching athletes past and present–for making this possible. For the last 17 years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work with you and help you in the pursuit of your goals. Here’s to a safe and healthy 2021 . . . hopefully, with actual races. 🙂
Congratulations to our athletes who keep putting it out there. Who continue to train day after day with either no event on the horizon, or if anything, just a virtual one. But we do have actual races from time to time, and last weekend, two of our CC athletes took advantage. Joan McGue raced the Anthem 5K and finished in 31:04, taking 3rd in her AG. Frank Smith actually ran something shorter than a marathon and clocked a 23-minute 5K in Ohio. Great job, guys!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend! The results from last week were virtual, but results nonetheless!
Congratulations to Sean Byrne who completed his DIY Ironman Arizona. IMAZ was to be Sean’s first IM, however, as most of you know, IMAZ was cancelled due to COVID precautions. Sean decided to run his own Ironman and covered the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run on his own in 16:08. Nice job Sean!
In Tennessee, Kemp Conrad and Ed Wallis ran a virtual ½ marathon. Kemp finished in 1:45 while Ed logged a time of 1:58.
In Ohio, Frank Smith ran the virtual Possum 50K on a treadmill! He finished in 7:22 and his knees and legs are still holding up!
We want to give a shout out to Joan McGue who raced the Iceman Duathlon last weekend at Lake Pleasant State Park. Joan finished the 5K run, 20K bike and 5K run in 2:11 with the second run faster than the first! This was one of the first multi-sport races to be held in AZ this year. Nice job Joan!
