The second annual Trifest event was held in Tucson, Arizona on the weekend of March 6-7, and CTS Coaches Chris Carmichael and Nick White (coach to 2008 Ironman World Champion Craig Alexander) gave well-attended presentations to the assembled athletes and coaches. Trifest is a consumer expo for triathlon products along with a coaching education conference, so it was a great opportunity for the coaches at our Tucson Training Center to show off their Serottas, introduce more athletes to the benefits of coaching, and… of course, spend some time with Serotta’s own Paraic McGlynn.
Paraic was at Trifest to unveil the new Meivici AE 100% carbon, fully custom Triathlon bike. It’s a must-see. Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but that bike is indescribable. I believe he said there were only 3 complete bikes in existence so far, with more on the way. You want to be in an exclusive club? Get on one of those.
Paraic also brought down two '09 HSG Carbons for power testing. The Carmichael Training Systems coaches put them on trainers with PowerTaps and challenged everyone at the Expo to put up their best power to weight ratio for one minute. Each day’s winner earned a free lactate threshold test from Carmichael Training Systems.
Chris Carmichael also led a Sunday morning ride up and over Gates Pass in Tucson. Over 100 cyclists attended the ride, including Paraic, who ended his Tucson trip with a visit to the CTS-Tucson training center and provided the CTS coaches with some additional training on the newest advances in Serotta products.
