Testimonials

"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! "

Getting to know Tim Travis:

Who is the most influential person/people in your life?
I was supposed to have an easy recovery from surgery, but it turned out to be more complicated than expected. It was tough trying to rehab, keep up with school and work full time while trying to recover. During that time, however, I still worked out three times a week and I'm stronger than ever.

I work out on my lunch break, study at night and play army on the weekends.
