Congratulations to  Ironman Kansas 70,3  on a successful event!

Although gray skies loomed, race day shaped up to be picture perfect on the Kansas prairie as Luke Bell and Chrissie Wellington took top honors. Local triathletes Sam Tovar and Dane Cook finished well and recovered with some post-race BBQ. Way to go, guys!

The Life Balance Sports tent saw plenty of action during the three-day expo. Athletes stopped by for pre-race body work as well as post-race recovery. On tap was the PowerFiTTE demo and a glimpse into BodyFiTTE. It was a pleasure to meet all of you, thanks for stopping by!

Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines were well represented at Ironman Kansas. We were treated to a flyover, so I grabbed this shot:

Life Balance on the Road
Updated: 4 May 2009
Seattle

Champion cyclist and duathlete Tim Becker invited Life Balance Sports to bring a little midwestern flair to the Seattle MultiSport Training Center. Don't worry, Coach Gina and all of Life Balance Sports services are still available in the Heartland!

Here's the scoop: During a training run on a southern California beach, Tim and Gina discovered that their individual coaching practices would compliment each other well. A few brainstorming sessions later, Seattle MultiSport and Life Balance Sports have teamed up to bring Coach Gina's signature targeted training to the great northwest.  

For coaching, bicycle fitting, and training at your location, contact Gina for appointments and information.   

 

San Diego

Coach Gina spent a beautiful November week in San Diego at John Howard Performance Sports doing a little teaching and a lot of learning. The learning portion included training on Dynamic Motion Therapy™ principles and techniques with Dr. Ernie Ferrel, US Olympic team physician and co-developer of the FiTTE System.  DMT™ is one of the most effective deep tissue techniques for breaking down scar tissue/adhesions and restoring function and movement. After a lot of work, a little fun rounded out the week as you'll see below:

Back in our own "neck 'o the woods," a little cyclocross racing broke out on a snowy December day just north of Kansas City.
