Been wanting to do this for a while now. We’re compiling a list of all of the West Point Triathlon Alumni that have trained under Tony that are overseas in harms way. Hopefully we’ll get some help from the team and veterans of the team who are in regular contact with their friends.

First up, LT Nick Dason. Nick was the team captain of the 2008 West Point Team and is currently flying Huey’s in Afghanistan.

Randy Wintermantel is a 2009 West Point Grad and was a staple on the USMA Team. I fully expect her to be a lifetime endurance athlete – before she left for Afghanistan, she ran her first 50km trail race. Randy is attached to an engineer unit.

More to come…

Tony spent Tuesday evening at the Retul Studios Denver speaking with the Rocky Mountain Tri Club. Tony shared the stage with Retul master fitter, Toddy Carver. The topic for the evening was about embracing the lifestyle of being an endurance sports athlete. That in a time of information overload, maybe the best training method is just getting out the door and going…sans hrm, sans power meter, sans ipod…just get out the door and enjoy the fact that your out there. Yes, it’s that easy – and Tim DeBoom has two Ironman World Titles to his name based on that training philosophy.

We’re starting a new segment here on the DeBoom Coaching site. If you send us your questions, we are going to start having video Q&A responses with Tim and Tony DeBoom. Feel free to ask any question you like regarding training, racing, equipment or anything else you would like to know and we’ll put together a video of responses. You don’t have to be a DeBoom Client to submit a question.

Feel free to go to our contact page to submit the question, here.
