Todd Silva prepping for UTMB this week
Congratulations to Matt Johnson, who continued his strong year of triathlon racing by finishing third overall at the Anthem Reverse Sprint Triathlon this past weekend. He finished in a strong 1:05. Matt is getting to race Ironman Arizona in November.
We also want to wish good luck to Todd Silva (pictured). Todd has been our athlete for over 15 years and is getting ready to race the famous UTMB ultra run in Chamonix France this weekend. This race is considered the World Championship for Ultra running. UTMB stands for Ultra Trail Mont Blanc and is a trail that circumnavigates the Mont Blanc Massif in the French Alps. The trail is 106 miles long and has 32,000′ of climbing. Most people take a week to hike it. The runners in this race have 46 hours and 30 minutes to cover it. Go Todd!
Lastly, September 1st is almost here and that means that the prime months of running and racing are coming up here in AZ! If you or a friend has interest in racing a marathon this winter/spring or trying to set a personal best at any distance, now is the time to start training! Send us a note if you are ready to get moving!
