What's coming up @ In Competition Sports!


Hello!
I hope you are all recovering from a busy, tiring 4th of July holiday weekend. Who sits still nowadays and relaxes, right? Our family goes up north every 4th of July to a family cabin and we run the Mellen Bell Ringer 5-mile run and the kids and grandparents do the 2-mile run/walk. We then eat the Roly Poly lunch (do you know what that is?) in the fire station, watch a very short parade that basically chucks candy at the kids. Then we ride on top of an old fashion fire truck. Now where else but Mellen, WI can you do that? I still have a few piles of clothes in the laundry room and no milk or groceries, so that’s where I’m heading next. I hope you enjoyed your 4th!

WEDNESDAY MORNING RIDE:
Remember we ride on Wednesday mornings at the west side YMCA at 5:30am until 7am. Join us! It’s a lot of fun!

Here is an update on what’s happenin’ at In Competition Sports:

VIDEO GAIT ANALYSIS AND SPORTS INJURY ASSESSMENTS
Who knew running could be so complicated. Let the professionals from Aurora Sports Medicine help you achieve efficient and painless running or improve your performance by taking a look at how you run. A video gait analysis will reveal any faults in your running form. Weak and inflexible muscles, if stressed by a lot of running over time, can lead to injury or lingering soreness. And even a simple movement such as an excessive arm swing can make a difference by adding precious seconds to your running times. Todd and Corey will evaluate your foot motion, muscle flexibility and strength during normal running. Practicing specific running technique drills will improve your strength, speed, flexibility and balance. Using the analysis to find comfortable -- and productive — footwear will reduce your risk of injury or help any lingering aches and pains.
Come on - be the less injured one!
