Shortly after arriving home from camp, I was contacted by a Team Timex sponsor; Nathan Sports. They sponsor triathlons around the country and occasionally do hydration presentations for the athletes. I had done this previously in Tempe, AZ last September and Nathan was looking to get me to Miami to do one down there. Well, the calender was open.. and I've never been to Miami, so I jumped at the opportunity.
When I arrived into Miami yesterday afternoon, I thought how funny that the day before I was snowshoe racing above 11,000 feet and now I'm about ready to combust in my jeans with the heat and humidity. I didn't know if I was going to make it to the hotel alive with the way my taxi driver was driving... but I was hoping I would so I could get those jeans off!
I arrived at Footworks for the event and met a lot of really nice people. They called on me to lead the 60+ runners in a warm-up... that was fun; and then headed out for a run. THIS WAS CRAZY... I thought the taxi ride was bad?! I truly feel it is a hazard to ones health.. or LIFE to run in Miami. I think drivers try to hit runners... it was the craziest thing I have ever experienced in my life!
Upon our return to the shop, I presented on hydration to a lot of great people with great questions. It was a good time and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Watch for the podcast of the presentation to arrive soon!

I'd like to begin by thanking you for coming on over to Miami. I was at this clinic and it was great! The info you presented was very useful to me, and I'm sure to others as well.
A couple of folks including myself were wondering at our next meeting what type of watch you were wearing that day? We were taken aback by its sheer size and were intrigued to know what other goodies it might have in store?
Pedro!
Thanks for the comment. I was wearing the Timex Global Trainer. It is Timex's first gps watch and it is fantastic! There are so many features that put it above everything else out there on the market.. I don't even know where to start! The product soft launches to REI in May and other retailers in September. If you are still interested in more info. Contact me via email to discuss further! tristaf@yahoo.com
