New Training Beginning

  Recently, I've been looking for something new and a way to recommit to the training I thoroughly enjoy.  While I've run for many years, triathlon has become a sport I have a passion for and there aren't many better places to train than Colorado Springs where 1 of the 3 Olympic Training Centers is located.
  I was lucky to have a friend I train with now and again recommend a coach/club that he joined and found to be an excellent fit for him. Ken Axford runs Peak Multisport and owns an excellent relationship with his athletes, the Olympic Training Center, and other local clubs.
  This morning, I was fortunate to be able to join in on the 50 meter Olympic pool and found that the sites and sounds provided a great reason to wake up at four-thirty.  I look forward to providing future updates as I get to explore all the nuances of training in Colorado Springs for triathlon.  I am pretty sure I won't find a nicer pool.
