Seattle Champion cyclist and duathlete Tim Becker has invited Life Balance Sports to bring a little midwestern flair to the Seattle MultiSport Training Center. Don't worry, Coach Gina and all of Life Balance Sports services are still available in the Heartland! Here's the scoop: During a training run on a southern California beach, Tim and Gina discovered that their individual coaching practices would compliment each other well. A few brainstorming sessions later, Seattle MultiSport and Life Balance Sports have teamed up to bring Coach Gina's signature targeted training to the great northwest. 2009 Seattle dates: January 17th through 25th For coaching, bicycle fitting, and training at your location, contact Gina for appointments and information. Stay tuned for updates! San Diego Coach Gina spent a beautiful November week in San Diego at John Howard Performance Sports doing a little teaching and a lot of learning. The learning portion included training on Dynamic Motion Therapy™ principles and techniques with Dr. Ernie Ferrel, US Olympic team physician and co-developer of the FiTTE System. DMT™ is one of the most effective deep tissue techniques for breaking down scar tissue/adhesions and restoring function and movement. After a lot of work, a little fun rounded out the week as you'll see below:  John Howard and Gina Poertneroversee a BodyFiTTE session at Coastal Sports and Wellnessin San Diego.

Kansas City Back in our own "neck 'o the woods," a little cyclocross racing broke out on a snowy December day just north of Kansas City. Teresa Jarzemkoski cheers on Mark Thomas of LocalCycling.com. Besides cycling, these two are also famous for designing this website! Chris Thomas digs in on a wicked run-up. Go Chris!
