GOTRIbal Conference and Retreat 2010 was a Huge Success!
GOTRIbal Conference and Retreat was a huge success...THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!
There were over 20 clinics, workshops and presentations + a yummy dose of wine, chocolate, great music and a delicious Happy Hour this weekend.
But it was the company that made it absolutely over the top tremendous.
Read what participants had to say:
"I received the goodie bag Best goodie....wish race directors would take note."
"Paul Greer was awesome! Exciting and engaging! The whole Conference was great. I loved everything!!"
"Gino was very knowledgeable and informative. He showed all the conditions that can be helped by A.R.T."
"Paul's enthusiasm was excellent! I left wanting "more" time. Very personable---took the extra time to answer my personal questions."
"The Wetsuit Demo and Swim Clinic was FABULOUS!!! I learned that my current wetsuit is too big--that is good (all my hard work is paying off)! I know what the proper fit is for a wetsuit and how to get it on the correct way. The swim in the cove was great! This was my first salt water swim and it was nice to have a little more time in the water before sunday. The dolphin dives were great to learn. Oh, and the running starts---YEAH! I wish I would have had that before the Boulder race--it was my first running start race and I didn't have a clue what to do. Now, I know. ;-) "
"Beautiful environment. Friday night at the Happy Hour registration pick up, I loved riding the TREK bike for a cause, with wine in one hand at the same time as I pedalled to raise money for GOTR!"
"I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the conference – all aspects! I personally had a wonderful time meeting and talking with more members, meeting presenters and business owners, and doing the clinics.I heard nothing but rave comments from attendees. I know a ton of work and planning went into all the details, but from my perspective it was a class act from start to finish. I also thought the lunch was delicious!"
"I am now a convert to ART! Gino worked on me a bit after the clinic and I was able to run the entire 5K of the Sprint Tri the next day -- something I have not been able to do since I got injured -- and not only did I not have to walk, but I actually PR'ed the distance."
"Matt [Fitzgerald] really knows his stuff. A very practical and realistic outlook about food. I give him a top rating on this session!"
"Lesley is a total badass. Very well organized. She knows her stuff!"
"Great [athlete] Panel. Helpful to hear what different aged women/girls deal with. Great talk on body image - that was a bonus for me."
"I loved the wine! What other event can you go to and learn about how to get faster, more healthy and enjoy the company WHILE sipping on wine?!"
"Yummy food!!!.... and plenty of it!! - Thank you!"
"[Robyn Stuhr and Dr. Natalie Voskanian] Athletic women with super brains!! Loved it!!"

To attendees at my "Strength Conditioning" session at the GOTRIbal conference on 10/17: On Monday I emailed a strength workout to everyone who signed the attendance list. Can you please let me know if you did NOT get the workout? Please also send me your email address, so I can send the workout to you.
Thanks so much for joining me last weekend!

So wish I could come down. If I had known earlier I probably would have been able to plan it. Perhaps we will have to throw another one up in LA?
I'm SO excited to meet fellow GOTRIbal ladies on Oct. 16th!! See you there!
