March 28, 2008 (Boulder, CO) - Christine Schuldt of Denver has lofty goals of participating in the Boulder Triathlon Series this year and with the help of FastForward Sports' training program her goals are now within reach. Schuldt was awarded a triathlon training scholarship with FastForward courtesy of 5430 Sports earlier this month.

"I was holding myself back, but now I feel that I will be in a place with many other fantastic athletes I admire," Schuldt said.
Finding balance for this mother of five is not an easy task and Schuldt says she is constantly shifting, changing, and evolving to find it. FastForward Sports will provide Schuldt with tools that can help find that balance. Through the scholarship program a training schedule will be designed for her to peak at her target races this summer. She will be teamed with a coach and a training group that meets several times a week. The workouts for Schuldt and her 75 FastForward Sports triathlon teammates include up to three runs, two bikes and one swim workout weekly.
"Our programs are designed with the understanding that most athletes have lives outside of training," FastForward Sports executive director Scott Fliegelman said. "We recognize this and encourage athletes to attend as many group workouts as they can, but design the workouts to fit in wherever their lives take them."
Unique from other training programs, Schuldt will have access to FastForward Sports resource partners who are specifically picked for their products and the services they provide to athletes.
"We are excited to have Christine join our team and with the tools we can provide her she is sure to arrive at the start line healthy, happy and ready to race," Fliegelman said.
Schuldt is eager about her opportunity to find out what happens when she pushes herself a little, balances her family schedule and makes every workout count. Schuldt says she wants to be present in the moment and have the opportunity to grow and gain strength.
