Ironman Oceanside 70.3 2010 Press Release

For immediate release:
DR. SEBASTIAN GONZALES, HUNTINGTON BEACH CHIROPRACTOR, TRAVELS TO OCEANSIDE, CA TO TREAT IRONMAN 70.3 TRIATHLETES

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 3/26/10 – For those unfamiliar with triathlon, it is a series of physical challenges: swimming, biking, and running; all of which are one after another, under the pressure of the clock. The pinnacle of all triathlons is the full Ironman race, but in California we only get half of that, 70.3 mile Ironman. Oceanside hosted the race this year and conditions were near perfect.


This is a favorite race for many of the Southern California locals, especially from San Diego, Irvine, and Huntington Beach. “Orange County was definitely represented at this race but San Diego beat them out as usual,” stated Dr. Sebastian Gonzales, an Active Release Provider and Chiropractor in Huntington Beach. “We traveled to Tempe late last year to work the full Ironman and it was much more serious. The athletes seemed much more relaxed and focused on the fun of this race.”


Dr. Gonzales, the owner of P3 Sports Care, came down to Oceanside to treat triathletes the two days before the race to get out the last “kinks and spasms.” He and two other Active Release® chiropractors could be found at the side of Demo Days, treating in trade for donations for Team in Training. “We don’t like to charge people at the race, but if they are willing to donate to a good cause that is fine with us. We are here more to build awareness of ART®,” replied Dr. Gonzales.


“I plan on racing in one of these before too long, but currently my wife and I are training with Team in Training for the century ride in Lake Tahoe,” claimed Dr. Gonzales. “Fundraising in definitely a greater challenge than I expected so that and the training are taking a lot of my focus right now. It’s great to hear many of these athletes actually claim Team in Training was the turning point in their life and why they do what they do. Training with good, quality people will do that I guess”


Dr. Gonzales and many more Active Release® doctors plan on being at the Kona Ironman® Championships later this year.
