COACH CYNDEE

Some Of My Favorite Things When Oprah was doing her show, each year she would have a show dedicated to some of her some of her favorite things.  This blog is like that with a twist.  It is Coach Cyndee’s favorite things ONLY they are all related to health and fitness.  These are things I would not want to live without!  So here it goes: Kswiss Kwicky Blade Running Shoes.   I have these shoes in just about every color and for the past 3 years they have been my FAVORITE running shoe. Here is the latest picture of my most recent color......all I can say is awesome! www.kswiss.com   CEP Running Socks. I think I have these in every color too.  I have them pictured with my running shoes.   I like both the sleeves and the socks.  I can’t remember life before these compression socks.  They are the best ones out there! www.cepsocks.com   Headsweat Visors ......preferably with the Coach Cyndee logo but headsweat visors a...

After The Race Debbie, Terri and I My last race of the year was yesterday in Utah at the Kokepelli Triathlon.  I did the Olympic Triathlon.  I was fresh off of the Worlds 70.3 Half Ironman just one week ago.  I didn’t have any expectations for this race.

Racing the World Championship 70.3 yesterday was a great experience.  This was extra special because it was a big race in my hometown Las Vegas.  I qualified for this race back in February at Panama 70.3.   In Panama I was 2nd in my age group earning a spot for the World Championships.  I was very excited leading up to this race.  My parents were coming down from Montana to watch the event. I have so many friends and clients that were planning to come volunteer and watch.  I was racing with the best triathletes in the World!  Talk about pressure.  I am usually not nervous before races but this one had me a little on edge.  I was really well hydrated leading up to this race.  I also had a great taper and felt ready to race. Race morning is always questionable how much food I can get down.  I managed to get down a entire power bagel with peanut butter and honey. I also drank a muscle milk.  It was good that I ate all that becaus...
