First-place finishes in Ukiah sprint triathlon, 2005-2007; 1st place in premiere Santa Cruz sprint triathlon 2007.
I just did Tiburon 2 weeks ago and a new sprint distance in Santa Cruz
this past Sunday, both with Robbie. Came in first in my age group for
both of them although neither one would I consider my best effort.
I'm signed up for Ukiah. |

“Since Jan 1st 2007, I have lost 4.5", 7 pounds, and have reduced body fat from 33% to 29%. OK, there's a part of me that is in disbelief, so writing it to you does give it a bit more reality! Also, I used to just fuzz over when you'd say, oh--why not go for 2__ % rather than 29%. But now I'm realizing that working out with weights could make lower body fat % achievable for me. So, what do you think I might take on as my new goal?”

Starting fielder, Carlton College
Selected for the USAA baseball team, summer 2006
Established in 1956, the Novato Knicks semi-professional baseball club has been playing hardball for more than 50 years. Located in the town of Novato, the Knicks are the last semi-pro team in Marin County. With over 50 games per season, the Knicks travel across California and into Nevada. Entirely self funded, the Knicks are a combination of veteran players (ex-college & pro) and current collegiate players.
Cam—OF summer 07.
“On Thursday afternoon, Cam almost hit a homerun out of the Metronome (where the professional Minnesota Twins play) and in addition, he scored the only run of the game. If the ball had gone more to the left or to the right field, it would have been out of the park. Of course, at most college parks, it would have been gone, as well.”

2007 women’s soccer season: sixteen goals scored in 10 games, more than in any prior season
Dusty is amazing. After a thirteen year hiatus and after having three children, I decided to start playing soccer again last year. I played and had a fantastic time, but there was nothing worth noting about my performance. Then I worked with Dusty. Dusty researched special exercises, stretches and plyometrics that would benefit my soccer game. We worked on those exercises, sprints, and general strength training. This year I scored 16 goals in 10 games, more than I had ever scored in any season before. I became faster and stronger because of the special, personalized, sport-specific work that I did with Dusty. The change has been truly remarkable.
