Dave Scott Training Camp Was a Huge Success

The Dave Scott training camp was the perfect way for more than 30 athletes to kick off their training for the Nevada Silverman Triathlon.  Six-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott hosted a training camp at the Henderson Multigenerational Center June 9 – 11.  The three-day camp included in depth discussions and hands on training exercises with Dave Scott himself. The camp gave participants the opportunity to learn more about triathlon training in one weekend than ever before.

Silverman Challenges Any Combination Relay Team to Break 8 Hours

Imagine watching the some of the best swimmers, cyclists and runners in the world all competing for $100,000.00 in one location.  This scenario just may play out at the 2006 Nevada Silverman Triathlon.  A $100,000.00 prize purse will be awarded to the first combination relay team that can break the 8-hour mark on the course.  Although this has been achieved in the past at other races, 8 hours still maintains its allure as “the time to beat” and has never before been offered up as a challenge for any relay team. Teams can consist of any combination of professional or amateur athletes willing to take the challenge.

Making the Right Nutritional Choices

For me, technology and innovation are somewhat bittersweet concepts. Don’t get me wrong though; I love the carbon fiber and aerodynamic technology just as much as anyone. I also send praise and thanks to sports nutrition scientists everytime I have enough energy for a five-hour bike ride, but when it comes to food and diets I tend to think of technology as more of a band-aid to nutrient deficient food and improper eating than an asset to our health.
