Winner of USAT/Training Peaks Contest
23 February 2007
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Congratulations to Philip Lee Clark of Niagara Falls, N.Y. for winning a great USA Triathlon/Training Peaks Swag Bag.
The Bag’s contents – valued at $340 – included 6 months added to Clark’s Training Peaks Virtual Coach subscription, free CyclingPeaks WKO+ software, AQx Aquatic Training Shoes, USAT armskins, USAT socks, Yankz! Shoelaces, a Virtual Coach t-shirt, and a box of Peak Bars.
“Training Peaks and USAT have been partners for over three years now, and we wanted to work together to offer the USAT members a really enticing promotional package,” said Katie Schoeben, director of sales and marketing and Training Peaks. “The USAT National Team uses Training Peaks software to train, so we wanted to offer it to the members with an added bonus – so they could essentially train like the pros. We thought this promotion was a fun way to get the member base excited about the new year. We are really happy Philip won; he is an Ironman and has some big personal and charitable goals for this year. We are glad to help him achieve those goals.”
All the 33-year-old Clark needed to do was sign-up, renew, or upgrade his Virtual Coach subscription between Nov. 1 and Jan. 31 to be entered into the contest.
Clark was recently named to the Snickers Marathon Team 2007 and is currently in training for the Ironman USA and the Virginia Double Iron Triathlon. For the Double he has joined up with the Blazeman Foundation to raise awareness as well as money for ALS research. Interested supporters can go to http://www.active.com/donate/peeleeclark
Here’s a quick Q&A with our winner:
What do you do outside of training?
I work for Score This!!!, a race management and timing company in Western New York. I am the Transition Captain for their Multisport Series. I also work as a USAT CAT 3 Official. Currently I am attending SUNY at Buffalo as a graduate student in the Theatre Education program.
I am a professional actor. I belong to Actors Equity Association and I have had a great career that has taken me all over the world. I performed over 1,250 performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Starlight Express,” the musical on rollerskates. I got to do a promotion for it in Germany as I speed skated a marathon in a costume from the show. It was my “pro” debut. Lucky for me, the interview at the finish line was in English. I was tired because of the non-aerodynamic costume.
I also sang on the Original Cast Recording of “Grease” in Germany.
What are your athletic goals?
I hope to be the oldest person ever to finish Kona. I also pray for a stork to bring me a carbon bike for the Virginia Double Iron Triathlon.
Any specific race highlights, or life highlights for that matter?
Singing the National Anthem at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship 2006 as well as racing as an athlete. Look for me to be singing at Ironman Kentucky.
Best of luck with your training and racing this year!
