Congratulations to Endurance Factor racers Martin Cox and Jamie Knight for their wins in cyclo cross this past weekend in Orlando and Clermont, Florida.

Martin dominated the A Category(Cat 1,2,3) on both Saturday and Sunday winning both races while Jamie won by a large margin in the Junior category on Saturday and placed 2nd place in the B Category(Cat 4,5) on the second day of racing.

Great job and good luck in the races this next weekend in Ocala, Florida(see goneriding.com)

Congratulations to Mike Alessio (3:22) and Charlotte Walsh (3:39) who both qualified for the Boston Marathon at Philadelphia last weekend.  Despite the cold conditions of 26 degrees at the start, both had great races.

To make things more interesting Charlotte (pictured on the left with her friend Youlin) decided to run the entire race in a tutu and tiara.  Youlin must have had a slightly more aerodynamic tutu as she ran a 3:35.  Both Charlotte and Youlin ran in support of Girls On The Run, an organization that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.

Congrats to all.

Congratulations to Endurance Factor client, Martin Cox, for an outstanding showing at the 5th Florida State Championship Series race in Miami, Florida. Martin led most of the race and brought home his first win in the 2008 Florida State Series. He now sits in second place overall for the series in the Semi-Pro / Pro category.

The Endurance Factor team also extended their Team lead with wins from both Martin Cox and Jamie Knight. Jamie, also a client of Endurance Factor, has yet to loose a race in the single speed class and hopes to have an undefeated season(at the age of 17!).

Keep up the great work and good luck to everyone at the next FSC in Fort Myers, FL.

The third Florida State Championship race took place this past weekend, and, once again, the Endurance Factor athletes had a very impressive showing.

To start things off, the Endurance Factor Elder team consisting of clients Martin Cox, Char Fosmoe, and Jamie Knight, competed in the Team TT competition. They pulled through with a win, but were only one second ahead of the second team!

The Team TT was followed by the XC races on Sunday morning. The most impressive results were put on by Endurance Factor clients Jamie Knight and Steve Flynn. Jamie Knight started off very strong in the single speed class and added another win to his flawless record for the fall season. Jamie’s pure power and technical skills have shown to be an advantage in the single speed class.

Steve Flynn showed that all the base training he has done this summer has really paid off. He won the Senior Sport class by over 4 minutes, and has so far been unstoppable. Steve also has a undefeated record with three wins in the first three races of the fall series.

With increases in fitness still to come, expect to see more and more podium finishes for both of these athletes in the FSC!

With consistent results coming from the other team member and the Team TT win, the Endurance Factor Elder team extended their lead to 15 points over the next team, Trek VW. With the next race marking the half way point of the FSC series, all the work the Endurance Factor team has done over the summer has so far proven to be very beneficial. Keep up the work and congratulations to everyone on the team!
