Who doesn’t want to be able to just put on their running shoes and go for a fun, mind-clearing run and enjoy it? That was my dream… I asked Julie to help making me a runner. (Tall order!) My initial goal was to be able to run 3 miles on the trails without hating it […]
The month of April started with the goal of having a successful day on the bike with my Rio Strada teammates at the Rapha Prestige event in San Francisco. This longer, much climbier ride/race was definitely outside my comfort zone and I did as much as I could to train for the distance and elevation […]
Experiential Training and Racing Report from Stephanie Mayberg – o2fitness athlete and Rio Stada Cycling team member… This is my first season racing, and I started out with an injury that had me off the bike for two months. Once I was able to get back on the bike, I have made slow and steady […]
Really pleased with today’s race. Course was a little slow on the swim and bike. Rougher water and a little breezy. Cold too. But I was out of the water in about 9:50 with good aggressive effort. Bike was really fast. The run up the beach was about 1 minute longer than last year and […]

Many thanks to Julie Young for helping get my first sub 20-minutes on this course. All the work is paying off. Bragging… sort of. We had our first Reno Wheelmen, Tuesday night twilight race in Wahsoe Valley last night — the Franktown Time Trial. It’s been a goal of mine for at least a year to break […]

I started running fifteen years ago and racing seriously, at a national level, twelve years ago. After being in a sport for that long, there are bound to be some glorified high points and some lower than you’d like to remember. I had a seven year low. My high school career, especially late, had been […]
Mission accomplished on the inaugural Rio winter training camp. The motivation in organizing (with the help of Bev McInnes, team director) the camp was to help the team understand the value of variety in their training. The winter training camp took place at Tahoe Donner in Truckee, and it kicked off with a social gathering […]
