Thumbs Up for Scape Suncreen
Solis Performance Training, has been fortunate enough to try out the products from ScapeLabs. They graciously provided us with sunscreen and lip balm for our athletes and test out on our training trip to Lake Placid. So with that said, here is a little bit about the product: 5X more waterproof than any other product on the market Will not rub off and go into your eyes Breathable – allows the skin to breathe and keep body temperature down and doesn’t clog pores Has the highest UVA ...
70.3 Providence, Rhode Island
This past weekend we traveled to Providence Rhode Island for the Ironman 70.3 race. I will admit I had some hesitation about this race going in, mostly because of the logistics. This would be the first point to point race I had done, with makes setting up transitions a bit more unnerving. While I have raced Ironman races before, where items are stored in bags, the difference was in those races the bags were all kept together, here they were about 45 miles apart. The other factor that challenges me, is the ocean swim. I know, I live in New Jersey ...
Lake Placid Training Weekend
A week after traveling to Ithaca, New York to train with friends, Solis moved further north to train on the rugged course that makes up Ironman Lake Placid. We have participated in camps in the past and decided to merely work with our athletes this weekend instead. This was sort of the inaugural Solis Lake Placid Training Camp. We rented a small but comfortable home with lake access for the group. A total of 8 Solis Athletes came up for the weekend, and ranged from racers participating in sprints to Iron Distance this year. Having the house really promoted some great ...
FATHERS’S DAY BRICK BONANZA!
This past weekend a few of us traveled up to Ithaca, NY to visit some friends and do a bit of training. Our anticipation was to get through a nice brick…or 2…or 3…or-yes 4! Sounds crazy- but that’s what was going on in the rear ally of our friends house. It was quite awesome how it played out. This group many from the Ithaca Triathlon Club, which host the Cayuga Lake Triathlon, really know how to train! Groups left the mock transition area at 6am,8am,10am and 12, and headed out for the 22.2 mile ride with which by mile 3 ...
Rev 3 Triathlon
Well, the first thing I must say about this race, is “at least the swim wasn’t up hill.” The Rev3, triathlon offered what to me was one of the sports most challenging courses at this distance. This is the second year of the race, and it was skillfully organized and attended. The site was approximately two hours from us, so it made for an easy trip in comparison to some of the other races. Staying in the area of Middlebury Ct., was pleasant and quaint. We stayed at the Curtis House Inn, which built in 1754, claims to be Connecticut’s oldest. ...

Finally Outdoors!In this part of the country we are often confined for several months to training indoors. The combination of uncertain weather, and fewer daylight hours limit the ability to safely train outdoors. While mountain biking and trail running is often an option, the weather pattern here, had made most trails also unusable. With Saturday’s balmy 70 degree... [Read more of this review]

Art and Science in Training and CoachingIn training we continue to need as providers a balance in our delivery between art and science. While I do believe in science, it has its place; I think athletic training has become too much science based with too little emphasis on the art.
