I am honored, excited and thrilled to have QT2 as my
coaching partner and I am equally excited to be a proud member of the 2015 QT2
Advanced race team.
The folks at QT2 are exceptionally talented, focused and downright
a wonderful collection of people that know their stuff, work hard and are a lot
of fun. I wanted to share the latest
happenings with the QT2 Team.
I am in the best shape of my life and have a big season
planned. Not only am I growing, I am
having fun and its great to be associated with such a quality
organization.

QT2 Team Updates
February, 2015
Hey everyone, it's hard to believe that it’s only the
beginning of march with everything that has been happening on and off the race
course!
New for 2015, we have started a monthly newsletter to keep
everyone up to date on what's happening.
Here are some of the big highlights from February:
QT2 PARTNERS WITH CHALLENGE:
Challenge Family Americas is pleased to announce a
partnership with QT2 Systems as the Official Coaching Partner of Challenge
Quassy and Challenge Maine. QT2 Systems’

levels to achieve their Challenge Family racing goals. Read More …
FLORIDA CAMPS:
February was camp month down in Clermont, FL.
We held three camps back-to-back thanks to our amazing
coaches and staff!
First, the AG Camp was open to all who wanted to attend and
from the sounds of it, everyone have a great time, built some amazing fitness,
and had a lot of fun.
Then some of our best Age Group Elite athletes headed South
for our first Elite Age Group camp, done in the same format as the Pro camps.
From the feedback we have received and I quote "it was
simply EPIC!" Many were pushed to their mental and physical limits,
through blood, sweat, and tears, new fitness levels were reached.
Our final winter camp came to a close early this week when
our top Pro’s packed up and headed home from Clermont after swimming, biking,
running, and taking their training to all new levels.
To quote Jesse:
"Finished here in Clermont. Then 2015 season on tap.
The crew is strong this year. #crispnclean
#qt2"
Of course, none of this would be possible without our
amazing sponsors! We want to thank QR for sending Brad and Sam down to camp so
athletes could test drive the amazing bikes and answer athlete questions!
Also, a big thanks to our own teammate Rob Gilfeather whose
amazing product Fuel for Fire kept our athletes going strong during those long,
tough workouts!
RACE RESULTS:
The year has just started but we have already had some big
results.

He ran the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon in 4 days!
He PR'd in the 10K and set an PR of over 8 min in the
Marathon, good for a Boston Qualification for 2016! All this while doing most
of his run training on the bike with his longest run only being 12 miles.
To quote Chris "Pat is an awesome coach"
