PETE & CORRINNE UPDATE #4

Kelli Whittaker

Corrinne and Pete have had another busy week training. They both attended the 12-week training camp seminar last Saturday on triathlon rules and safety and really enjoyed themselves. Corrinne is already excited over the progress she has made stating, “I really think this camp is going to give me an advantage in my future races.” She also couldn’t believe that people actually die from triathlons every year because they are not prepared. 1.5 out of every 100,000 die yearly on average during a triathlon event. This really shows you how important it is to properly prepare yourself before a race and that safety should always come first!

They went back to the Orange County International Triathlon bike and run course and repeated the workout they had done the prior week. Corrinne was stunned when she shaved ten minutes off her bike time. She said, “knowing the course makes a huge difference. It gave me more confidence and I believe the confidence really helped.” According to Pete, “this time around the course was much easier for me. I knew what to expect and that gave me more confidence. Overall it was a very encouraging workout for both of us.”

Pete and Corrinne are now both being sponsored by Hammer Nutrition. Hammer Nutrition is providing them with some of their products and with nutrition plans for the 12-weeks of the training camp. Pete says, “having the protein powder, nutrition bars and all of the other products Hammer provides has really helped me. I feel like the combination of their products and my hard work will take me to the next level and I’m very thankful to Hammer for their support”. Corrinne also stated, “having Hammer products at my disposal has made my life so much easier. Instead of scrambling to find some sort of supplement to re-fuel my body after an intense workout I can use the Hammer products that they have provided to regenerate my body.” 

Tune in next week to see how Pete and Corrinne are doing!
