Desert Triathlon Kicks Off the 2013 Racing Season

The 2013 triathlon racing season got under way the first weekend of March and a good number of the team were present at the Desert International Triathlon. We had 17 athletes representing Fortius Racing Team and Ariel Aboody was there with a bunch of cameras and go pros borrowed from Stever Moyer and Christina DeRonde. Also present were Cynthie Cuno and a friend of Heather Shenkman who assisted Karen Aydelott in getting into and out of the water for her race. Below is the video Ariel produced, as he launched his new company, 131 Digitial Solutions, and will be producing some of our media to show everyone how great it is to be part of a team.

Karen Aydelott Returns to Kona

Kona Bound With Karen Aydelott

Fortius Coaching wishes to congratulate CAF Athlete and Fortius Racing Team member Karen Aydelott on her upcoming triumphant return to Kona to participate in the 2012 Ironman World Championship.

Fortius Coaches Gerardo Barrios and Ray Barrios will be joining Karen in Kona to support and witness one of the most awaited comebacks. Be sure to visit the Fortius Coaching Facebook throughout the weekend of the race, which takes place on Saturday, October 13, 2012, for race updates and more.

Karen has touched the lives of many of us in so many ways. Last year, some of you supported the Challenged Athletes Foundation on her behalf for which she is very grateful. Those contributions supported the mission of CAF: to give those with the desire to live active, competitive lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love.

Conquering a Goal: Trail Runner 100 Mile Strava Challenge

As you turn the corner on the fire road you see your next segment is a singletrack--your heart starts to pound, and your senses become extra sensitive. Your hands start to tremble and you can see the heart rate on your Garmin creeping up as you hear a rustling in the bushes. Where you were once in the sun, exposed but able to see for yards ahead, you start to wonder what is under the fallen leaves in the narrow trail ahead. You look at your iPhone and realize there is no cell coverage. If something were to happen to you, you won’t be found. As you look at the word “Searching…” on your phone you start to question what, in fact, you are searching for. At this point you are running gingerly hoping not to step on a creature and you start to wonder if you took the safest fork in the road.
