National Training Center (A note from Derek Garcia at the USA triathlon coaching clinic)

So this obviously isn't a picture of balmy Idaho.  I am in central Florida in Clermont at the National training center.  It is beautiful here and an unbelievable 85 degrees today.  Along with the great USAT training, I am enjoying the great weather and have been able to  meet amazing athletes like Tyson Gay on the USA track and field team as well as Sara McLarty a professional triathlete who is an amazing swimmer.
This is one of the pools on the grounds, if you can't tell it is a 50 meter pool.  I have never been able to swim in such a large pool.  It was great.  I timed a few people in the pool and they were clocking times that I could barely attain on a jet ski.
I am excited to bring back the knowledge I have gained here and can't wait to get back to see all of you guys from the Transition Zone.  I wish I could bring the weather with me!  Keep up the hard work back home.
