6/28/2006 Very Special Training this evening


Prospect Park

The Brooklyn contingent of TNT met this evening for a special traing session with the head coach Ramon Bermo (that's him holding court at team practice in Central Park). Want to know more about Ramon, google him and see the things this man has done. Ironman, Marathons, Triathalons, coaches several different teams around the tri-state area. I mean this guy knows what he's talking about. And to top it all off, he's a very nice guy.

So Ramon and another coach, Carla arrived in Brooklyn to give us a little more attention. We reviewed upper body work and effort levels.

At the end of the workout, Ramon felt we really didn't get enough of a work out, so he had Carla lead us through some "strength training."

Carla, I don't know much about her, but after talking with her and going through her workout, I have come to conclusion that she may very well be a super hero in disguise. She runs, she lifts weights, she bends steel with her bare hands, and can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Ok, maybe not the bit about the building.

Carla in the event you're reading this: my quads are still burning from the workout.

I think both Ramon and Carla enjoyed working with us. I know we enjoyed having them and look forward to their return in a couple of weeks.
