I know it's been a while since I've sent an email out the our email list, and I've had a bunch of people ask about my future plans etc, so figured it was time for a quick update...
What have I been up to?
Believe it or not, pretty busy!
I was traveling with USA Triathlon and their elite team earlier this month to Sydney, Australia for the first big race in the ITU Triathlon World Championship Series and head down to Mexico next month with the US and Canadian juniors for another ITU Triathlon race.
I spent March at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista doing the next step of the Volunteer Physician Program for the US Olympic Team. It was a great time, and fun to work with a wide variety of high level athletes, especially in sports that I hadn't had much exposure to previously.
Also been working on developing some on-line training and sports injury programs (hopefully no one reading this will need them!). I've found that there really is not a lot of great information and programs out there that help folks get back quicker from an injury. We'll be rolling out a few of these in the next couiple of months.
One website will focus more on the "wellness" aspect of medicine and life, while the others will be more injury-specific. Stay tuned!
Are you going to open up again?
Working on it. Still have some contract issues to finish up with Coastal. I'm in some discussions about sub-leasing space as a sports medicine doctor.
Hoping to have things ready sometime this summer, so stay tuned!

P.S.
For our triathletes and swimmers out there....I wanted to let you know that local San Diego swim coach (and friend of Coastal) Kevin Koskella of
TriSwimCoach.com fame has a new video up on his website that talks about an easy way to shave time off the swim part of a triathlon (or open-water swimming if you're into that also).
Imagine being faster in the water with much, much less effort!

I've been involved in triathlons for over 20 years (hard to believe!) and I've seen a lot of fads come and go. The one thing that I have seen over the years is sometimes the most obvious, easiest training tips and techniques are the ones that result in the most gains come race day.
And Kevin's swim training tips are definately helpful and easy.
So head on over to Kevin's website and watch his video about how to "speed up while slowing down"
-----------------------------------------------
I think you'll find his swim tips video pretty helpful!
