Here is the Official Press Release:

Los Angeles, CA (February 13, 2008) – Athletes for a Cure, a fundraising initiative of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, is proud to announce the inaugural Athletes for a Cure Triathlon scheduled to take place Sunday, September 21, 2008 at the Fort Wilderness Campground in Disney World. The Athletes for a Cure Triathlon, formerly known as the popular Disney International Triathlon, will donate a portion of each entry fee to Athletes for a Cure. Athletes can expect a new Olympic Distance (1.5K Swim, 40K Bike, 10K Run) experience and a brand new bike course that will have cyclists traversing roads on Disney property. The bike course will be closed to traffic ensuring a safe and challenging course. Simon Lessing, five-time World Champion and Professional ‘Athlete for a Cure’ will be on-hand as the official spokesperson for the event. “I am proud not only to be involved in the launch of what is going to be one of the top age group events in the country, but also to lend my name and support to a cause that seeks to find better diagnostics, treatments and ultimately a cure for a disease that affects more than two million American families.” In addition to building upon a well-established event, Athletes for a Cure is offering every participant who fundraises the opportunity to win awards that include custom 2XU race uniforms, complimentary entry fees, hotel and travel reimbursements. Scott Zagarino, the founder of Athletes for a Cure states, “We are very fortunate to be involved with a world- class spokesperson in Simon Lessing and a world-class event management team, all gathered together to help triathletes from all walks make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 6 American men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.” Online registration and complete event details are available at www.afactri.com. Sign up today as entries will be limited for this inaugural event! More information can be found at www.afactri.com or www.athletesforacure.org.

4. Gear Review: Aqua Vee- Now no more excuses not to swim

Well I found a device that will never give me an excuse not to swim in those tiny hotel pools. The AquaVee is brilliant. Now I can swim almost anywhere. This a unique device that has a belt that attaches to your waist and the two elastic tubes that attach to the side of a pool allowing you to swim in place. Think treadmill for swimming. There are a variety of very cool features to address different level swimmers and there is also a fitness attachment for water workouts. See more here: http://aquaveeonline.com/index.html

5. Gear, We at BodyZen Headquarters Love

We are all gear heads and we love our multisport gear. All the coaches at BodyZen have their favorite pieces of gear and we thought it would be cool to share some stuff we could not live without.

Coach Erinne:

Freddy’s Choice Chamois Crème- I never ride without it and would cross mountains to find some if I had to.

Clif Shots in Raspberry keep me going on long workouts.
                             
Orthotics for my run shoes- I have to have them so if you believe in them or not, they are a must have for me.     

Pearl Izumi bike shorts- Girls are sensitive too and these are my fave of all time. They keep me comfy for hours.

Coach Lee:  

Rotor Q Rings- I will never ride round again. Totally changed my cycling.

SRM- The worlds best power meter along with WKO+ software makes my passion for cycling even stronger. I love the data.

Finis Freestyler paddles- less torque and more comfort for me. They have just enough surface area to do the job without jeopardizing my shoulders.
