Do not quit! Hundreds of times I have watched people throw in the towel at the one-yard line while someone else comes along and makes a fortune by just going that extra yard. E. Joseph Cossman .

Shaunna's Trilogy Tragedy

This past Sunday I had another disappointing race at the 2nd Key Biscyne Trilogy - during the run I slipped in the torrential rainfall and fell off the curb. I slid across the pavement, luckily only getting scraped up, but I needed a couple of minutes to catch my breath and re-compose myself before finishing the run, losing precious time along the way. Between the foot injury this spring, my gear shifter breaking during the last tri, and now this, it has so far turned out to be a less than ideal racing season for me! Hopefully, I have rid myself of all this ill luck and will finish the season (the 3rd Trilogy in August) off on a great note!

On Wednesday, July 11, 2007, The Runner's High in Pinecrest, FL offered customers a free educational Polar training clinic where patrons could learn about the benefits of training with a heart rate monitor. Team Polar Miami athlete Robert Jarrin was on hand along with Polar Technical Representative Paul Hinson and Polar National Sales Representative Jay Mueller to help demonstrate various Polar computers including the RS200sd, RS400sd, CS200cad and CS400.
