Lynn  started running in 2012 as she wanted to do the GNR before her 60 th birthday. She had a bucket list which included Rock and Roll Las Vegas. Disney Princess run weekend in Florida and a triathlon.Lynn hadn't run, cycled or swam properly since leaving school so quite a fete to accomplish her bucket list but she set off on a mission and managed the first 3 but the triathlon was a bit more difficult. Her  run buddies decided to organise a fun triathlon and their transitions include coffee and cakes and lunch . They took all day to finish but Lynn totally loved the challenge and on that she entered the Woodhorn Museum Sprint Tri. The thought of getting into the water was horrific but Lynn had some hypnotherapy, enrolled in the open water swim sessions and found a brilliant instructor to teach her how to swim. It took lynn 40 mins to do the swim in breast stroke , they had a canoe with her all the way  but she did it. She Loved the bike ride on her hybrid  and Finished 2nd in her Age Group and on the podium. she was totally hooked. Lynn entered a few ‘go tris' including the Leeds World championships and went from strength to strength gaining confidence and a good few cups.She finished 2nd in the British championships, she didn't even know she was part of the race and as she was getting my medal the BTF official asked why wasn't she a member of the age group team.So that was Lynns  next mission. She qualified the next year for the World Duathlon at Stockton and the European championships at a very wet, cold and windy race at Bedford. Her attempt to qualify for triathlon was scuppered by blue green algae at Hertford and too many holidays at the same time as the qualifying races. So, she thought she would concentrate on duathlon.Lynn says she was lucky enough to compete at Punta Umbria last March a couple of weeks before lockdown and even managed to come away with a Silver medal 65-69. Lynn states putting her  GB Kit on was probably the proudest moment of her life and her family and friends were so proud of her just qualifying never mind getting a medal.Unfortunately the worlds were cancelled last year and Lynn  had worked so hard all through lockdown and was at her  most fittest ready to compete last September.Lynn has qualified again for next year 70-75 ! However she has  suffered with arthritis for a good few years but this year it's got decidedly worse and it's really bad at the moment. Her GP has referred her to the Orthopaedics and she is  patiently waiting for a consultation.  she has  now decided to go,privately as she is  unable to run at the moment so need to get it sorted ready for next season . Fingers crossed she can put her GB kit on and perform to the best of her ability again.

Welcome to Episode 121 of the Final Surge podcast where we welcome veteran World Duathlon finalist Kerry Camberg to the program. Right after we recorded the podcast Kerry qualified again for the World Championship. Kerry was a late bloomer to endurance athletics and talks about how it is never too late to set big goals and chase them.   1:25 Unique story on how she got involved in running in high school after getting injured as a gymnast.  2:41 After high school, took a lot of time off and didn't get back into athletics until several years later. 3:15 Got involved in triathlons, realized she was decent on run and bike, but not swim so moved to duathlons.  4:05 Ran in college, but not until she was in her 40's. Qualified for Nationals in Cross. Finished 7th at nationals. 5:47 Many thought she was the coach because she was old enough to be the parent of her teammates.  6:30 This all lead to duathlon, biking and running and Kerry explains the difference in events with duathlons. 7:30 We see all the time road races and triathlons, how often are there duathlons? 8:16 Kerry talks about participating in Nationals and then qualifying for Worlds and talks about what it was like qualifying for the World Championships.  9:45 Making the move to duathlons and identifying what your strengths are and focusing on them.  11:10 What does a typical training week look like for a duathlete? Run/bike mix and getting out for a run after a long bike ride.  12:10 What is your milage mixture between running and biking? 12:40 How hard is it on your legs to go between biking to run.  13:20 Using the Kicker to help train on the bike. 14:07 Give us an example of what a harder workout may look like. 14:38  What advice do you have for someone who may be getting started later in life like in their 40's? It is never too late to get involved and be competitive. 15:44 When someone decided they want to start getting competitive what advice do you have on setting goals.  16:36 Frist triathlon was a mountain bike race, and she had no idea what a mountain bike was. All training had been on roads.  Resources Kerry on Twitter  Kerry on Instagram

Standards is a much more palatable word than rules 3 important standards for coaching: 1 - Standards for yourself 2 - Standards for your workplace/coaches 3 - Standards for your athletes Key 2 - Your Methodology/Philosophy What do you believe in? How do you believe in achieving this? Key 3 - Great coaches adapt To the unexpected. They are calm, controlled. Adapt to the generation you are working with: Listen better. Discipline. Communicate in their style: they want short bursts of information (they are the Twitter-generation.) Key 4 - Have great energy It all starts with you. You have to exude passion. People should look forward to seeing you. Key 5 - Interpersonal skills Respected. Likability. We are in the people business who play sports. Key 6 - The fundamentals Great coaches have teams that are great at fundamentals. Daniel Coyle in The Talent Code:  'Mastering the mundane.' World-class athletes are better able to handle repetition better than the next person.

Event: Gear West DuathlonDate: Sunday, May 19, 2013Location: Orono High School, Orono MNHotel: Home, sweet home (10 minute drive away!)Weather: 66F, winds at 10 MPH from SSW, light rain (heavy rain right before, delaying start 15 mins)Official Results: Overall Results; Age Group Results; Gender Results; Awards ResultsPrevious Results: Last time I was at this event was 1992, and it was held in the fall at that timePersonal ResultsGoal: Top 5 in AGActual: 3rd in AGOverall: 60th (249 total); 3rd in 50-54 AG (26 total)GarminGarmin results link Pre-CapWhat a long weekend. Friday night was spent driving to River Falls WI for the pre-event technical meeting for Podium Boy's first Modern Pentathlon. 50 mile drive took 1 hr 45 mins. Saturday it was the MP event itself kicking off with fencing at 8AM, swimming at 11AM, equestrian at 2PM, and the combined (shooting/running) at 3PM. Podium Boy came out as Male Youth C Champion (yeah!!) and is now going to Colorado Springs the first week of July to train with the Youth Development team at the Olympic Training Center and then compete in the national event. Podium has work ahead of head, there is a boy in New Mexico that might be a bit better than him at the moment.If you are curious, here is a link to photos from the Pentathlon event. And video:20 13 Great Prairie Pentathlon Highlights from Brian Maas on Vimeo.As for me, Saturday was a very long day including travel time. When I woke up Sunday I was toying with bagging the Gear West Du and just going back to bed. Especially when the weather radar showed a big line of red heading our way. Still, with rain pouring down I left for the event.Heading to the Start LineBecause of the rain, the event was delayed 15 minutes. I chose to run with the competitive wave, which means I got to leave with Wave 1 yet still be available for AG awards. I wanted to do this because I figured it would be very muddy (much of the run course is trail), and footing would be treacherous, especially on the second run. And it was muddy! Sorry, no GoPro videos...that would have been cool...but the battery was charging from the MP the day before. But to give you a taste, here are the flats I used. I used my backup Mizuno's as I knew my Nike LunaRacers would get destroyed.Before the raceAfter the race. Run One (2.8 miles; Garmin said 3.03)Goal: sub 6:30 paceTime: 20.20 (7:16 per mile pace)Did I mention it was muddy? And I fell turning a tight 180-degree turn on muddy grass. Insult to injury.Transition OneGoal: 1:10Time: 1:50Sort of a long stretch from the timing mat to the bike corral, so I'm not worried about being over my goal.Bike (16.6 miles)Goal: 21+ mph avgTime: 47:08 (21.1 MPH Avg)The bike wasn't that bad, as the rain stopped. What was bad was I had my first calf cramps of the year. I easily lost 60-90 seconds, maybe more, trying to shake those out. I was surprised as I had not had any this racing season. Maybe it was the slipping and sliding in the mud.Additionally, while I really like my new racing helmet, it got pretty steamy in there on climbs and the face shield did fog up a bit. But it cleared quickly. Transition TwoGoal: 1:10Time: 1:18At least the calf muscles did not cramp up while changing into the flats.Run Two (2.8 miles; Garmin said 3.03)Goal: sub 6:50 paceTime: 21:48 (7:47 per mile pace)The calf muscles were extremely tight as I started the second run. More of an old man shuffle. It took a good 1/2 mile before I can get into a normal stride. The second run felt better than the first, but after 250 people went through the course the first time, the second time was a swamp mud fest. I kept expecting to see lost shoes stuck in the mud.On the second run, before the mud flatsPost-CapThis does not bode well for Apple and possibly qualifying for Worlds. I will need to finish in the top 6 in my AG, and as of now I count at least seven people that can beat me. I'm just too slow on the run right now, which has always saved me from my slow bike splits.AwardsI chose to use my AG 3rd place result into the hat for the $500 gift card. I didn't win, bah!Next RaceMay 25 - Apple Duathlon (world duathlon regional qualifier). I'll have to finish in the top six in my age group in order to qualify for World Duathlon champion in August. In reviewing the participant list, this will be a long-shot at best.On DeckJune 1 - Dewey Kvidt Duathlon, in Grand Forks ND. I've yet to sign up, but am planning to go. I've wanted to try this event for a number of years. This would be my 7th straight racing weekend and 12th race of the young year.
