Did anyone recognize that person on my blog yesterday? Well it was -
Gordo Byrn
He is just one of the coaches that I will be meeting this weekend. Another one is “The Predator” Justin Daerr. You have probably seen this add in all of the triathlon magazines the past couple of years.

I will be leaving work early on Friday and driving just up the road to Jackson for the Mississippi Heat Triathlon Clinic. It will be a long weekend of SWIM / BIKE / RUN.
It looks like the weather is going to be perfect. We will be pool swimming Friday night, bike riding (and brick) on Saturday and then long runs on Sunday. I am very excited. In addition to the tri clinic I will also be home staying with the head coach for the event – Kendrick Gibson. I’ve never met the guy but I bet we hit it off!
Some of the highlights of the clinic include:
