Despite another cold, icy punch from KC’s newest nemesis Old Man Winter, EMG enjoyed a wonderful night of inauguration and celebration on Feb 20th, 2010.  Nearly 60 people showed up to help us kick off a new year of training, racing and overall training season with EMG.  The evening was filled with both excitement and purpose, which stemmed from several sources.  First, there were the indulgences in food.  Chef Renne Kelly catered in dishes that made us all glad we are triathletes—I think everyone had more than one plate of the Chef’s masterpieces!

Second, things were certainly spiced up when the Trek Store offered everyone exclusive deals for the night.  People were able to peruse the Trek goodies, lay eyes on the new TEAM EMG jerseys showcased at front of the store and take in a picture show played at the opposite end.  Toward the middle of the evening we had a lovely drawing, where we gave away bodywork from The Sport of Massage, PT/Coaching from Josh and some EMG swag that made everyone glad they stuck around! 

Then came the purpose when one of our own described her battle with cancer.  Everyone in the room was filled with hope, inspiration and motivation.  By the end talk, we had a total of $875.00 in donations to Rock the Cure, a foundation set up to help fight cancer.  A special thanks goes out to Ryan Robison, race director of the Topeka Tinman, Ironman Kansas 70.3 and Ironman Branson 70.3 races for donating an entry into the Topeka Tinman and IM Branson 70.3.  Both of these were auctioned off with all funds going directly toward Rock the Cure.  (If you are interested in making a donation to Rock the Cure, please click here).

TEAM EMG

Team EMG was created by great athletes for great athletes and offers exactly what the multisport community has needed for some time.  This team is for Athletes who want to get better, stronger and fitter in an environment that welcomes all athletes of all ability levels and backgrounds.  Whether you want to finish your first sprint triathlon and don't know your front from your rear derailleur or you want to train with athletes who are proven to be the best in the region and want to take the next step to Kona or Clearwater, we are your team…and we want YOU to be on board.

Join Team EMG today to stop just training and start to see results.   Under the guidance of our coaches we will change the way train, the way you race and even the way you view triathlon.  See "What is Team EMG?" under the tabs on top of the page to find out what we are all about.

EMG is pleased to announce that for a third year we will be hosting two 5 day iron and half iron distance prep camps in the Midwest region.  EMG's Five day prepatory camps will be held in Kansas City from July 28th through August 1st and in St. Louis from August 11th through the 15th.  Check out our site for more specific event information.  Both camps promise to provide the absolute best training around for athletes participating in events totalling 70.3 or 140.6 miles (sorry but got to stay legal with the big boys).  We kick off each camp on Wednesday evening, have a half day (second half) Thursday and all day Friday leading into a mammoth weekend so that you can take as little time away from work and family.  That being said, for 5 days you focus on training and pushing your body further and harder than you ever thought with completely supported open water swims, bikes and runs as well as expert coaching from our staff of 5 USAT Level I and US Swim Level I coaches.
