"I registered for a half marathon being held on February 3rd, 2008 and instead of my normal training schedule of "logging miles" I concentrated on the CATZ training sessions. Between Dec.'07 and Feb. '08 I did only 3 runs of 10-12 miles. However, since joining CATZ, I have religiously attended from 2 to as many as 5 sessions per week. During this time I have seen my "core" strength increase, my sprinting and recovery time improve. Well, I ran the Surf City USA half Marathon in cold blowing rain on Sunday morning February 3rd. To my surprise and excitement, I felt GREAT the entire race and turned in a Personal Best of 1:43:21 which crushed my previous best time by approximately 15 minutes! My next full marathon is in April and I can't wait to see how I do then! "

CATZ Athlete April Ross Wins Gold in Norway

The Chinese appeared to be locks for their fourth international tour gold medal after upsetting No. 1 Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh of the United States, 21-19, 21-19 in the semifinals.

"Give Kerri and Misty another assist for this win," said the 29-year old Boss, who previously won a FIVB Satellite event in 2001 with Heather Lowe in Thailand and placed fourth at a 2005 international stop with Nancy Mason in Mexico. "They mentioned that our service game could present problems for the Chinese. And, it was a major factor in our success today. It was great to have help from other American teams this week."

Boss and Ross were playing their 11th match of the week on Saturday afternoon after advancing from Monday's country quota match through the qualifier via a pair of wins on Tuesday that earned them a spot in the 32-team main draw. Ross, who was competing in just her fourth international event relative to Boss' 26th, recorded the fastest serve (84.0 km/h) in the gold medal match and the second fastest this season.

After eliminating teams from Canada, the United States and Greece on Friday, Boss and Ross earned a spot in the finals earlier on Saturday with a 21-19, 21-18 semifinal win in 45 minutes over Germany's Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig. The 17th-seeded Germans also had to win country quota and qualifying matches to earn a spot in the main draw, where they also posted a 1-2 mark in pool play.

It was China's third-straight setback to an American team in an international final. The previous two setbacks were to May-Treanor and Walsh. Tian-Wang avenged her Paris gold medal setback to May-Treanor and Walsh by defeating the Americans on Saturday.

In the bronze medal match, May-Treanor and Walsh scored a 21-15, 21-13 win in 36 minutes over Goller and Ludwig, who were competing in their second final four in the past three weeks after claiming a silver medal in Portugal. It was the Americans' second ConocoPhillips Grand Slam win over Goller and Ludwig, as the Germans also dropped a pool-play match to May-Treanor and Walsh on Wednesday.
