Opening Thoughts
The purpose of this e-letter is two-fold. First I would like to share information on training/racing techniques that I have developed in my fifteen years of racing/coaching. If you think there is something valuable in here that others could use, please pass it on. If there is something that you would like to see in here,send me an email. I have developed a large network of great resources and I if I don’t have the answer, I will know someone who does. Secondly, this e-letter will be my personal space to brag about the athletes I coach and give them the praise they deserve—after all—it’s the athlete
that does the hard work.
Train Smart, Coach Mike

Epic Camp 2005
In January I was fortunate enough to experience Epic Camp Australia. Epic Camp is an Elite Training Camp founded by Scott Molina and Gordo Byrn (Epic Camp). My logs (Mike's Training Log) have been posted to my site and you can see that the experience goes way beyond physical improvement. Sometimes in order to reach new peaks you need to surround yourself with superior athletes, great coaches, and a training environment that allows you to focus on training and nothing else. If you think you have what it takes, sign up for Epic Camp NZ 2006 – you won’t be disappointed!
