First, I'd like to take a minute to celebrate the King of the Savoy, Shorty George Snowden!! Born on the 4th of July 122 years ago.

The jazz move called the Shorty George is named after him and is one of my favorites! It is one of the moves featured in the Shim Sham at the end of the routine. Here is a how to video by Laura Glaess so you can practice your shorty georges for the 4th Friday dance! How to Shorty George

Past – Race Training – SOS Bootcamp – June 26th

The SOS Boot Camp is a training weekend dedicated to first time SOS athletes who are registered for the race. The weekend is designed to run through each leg of the course (with some modifications) along side local SOS veterans and top performers. Each leg will include tips and tales from Boot Camp guides and secrets on "how to" from carrying shoes or wearing socks to running or walking Cardiac Hill and Godzilla.

An informal, catered dinner is held where participants can get to know one another off the course, mingle with their SOS Boot Camp guides, meet the SOS Triathlon founder (and hear a few tips too). A talk given by SOS veterans and open Q&A follows dinner.

The SOS Boot Camp will introduce first time racers to the SOS Community and the goal of fostering the "spirit" of the SOS Triathlon.
