So many of you may have seen that I am currently on a week long ‘camp’ in Mexico City. For those that haven’t heard, now you know.
I thought I would take this time to explain a little bit more about the purpose of my trip. Many months ago I was approached my an emerging event organization called ENUBE who were interested in promoting triathlon here in Mexico as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle, especially towards the youth.
After many emails back and forth we managed to confirm dates and the schedule for the week that was beneficial for both of us.
Throughout the week I have the following ‘events’ to attend and be involved in:
Press Interview
Tag Heuer Interview, talk.
Magazine Interviews including Esquire
Live TV show on Fox Sports Latin America
Photo shoot
Run groups/clinics
Cycle session around a car racing track
Club 10 talk (fitness center in the city)
Motivational Talk
Swim session/group
Alongside this some additional swimming, biking and running to get the body back to some fitness for a Biestmilch camp next week.
Oh, and of course getting to see/explore some of the second largest city in the world that is Mexico City, and experience their culture.
So as you can see the focus is not specifically on my training, this week is more of an introductory week back into another training block. The focus is on promoting Triathlon and healthy living here as well as hoping to inspire people, and get them to ‘Challenge Yourself’ (one of the slogans for the week).
A big focus of this week as mentioned is to challenge yourself. To do this an important message I want to get across is about setting goals. Setting big goals, even if they seem impossible and daunting. It is the vision of achieving these goals where your personal motivation will be day in and day out.
In saying this it can be scary looking at the top of a ‘mountain’ you want to climb from the beginning, and thus I stress the importance of taking it in steps, little goals leading to the big goal. Be that in training, to also life goals to become the person you aspire to be.
The added bonus is being able to do this with good friend Sam Mayhew and with the great hospitality of ENUBE, who have planned the week extremely well, and are looking after us as great hosts.
They have many sponsors for the week, which include many of my own, which is great, as the brands I am sponsored by I whole-heartedly believe in, so to be able to promote them here in conjunction with the camp is great, and I believe beneficial to all the parties involved.
I would like to take a moment at this point to thank my sponsors for their support; K-Swiss, Biestmilch, Felt Bicycles, Clif Bar, Oakley, Aqua Sphere, Kellogg’s Nutri Grain, Profile Design, Plumbing World, SRAM, Fuel Belt, Lazer, Triathlon Lab, Zipp, Prologo, and Sidi.
The week is very exciting, and the messages we are trying to get across to people here are important messages not just in triathlon, but also in life. Back home I am involved in youth charities such as Life Education Trust, as I believe the future of the world is in the hands of the youth today. Hence my excitement to work with ENUBE who until this point have had a primary focus on youth education and healthy living.
