    What drives me and my performance is my desire to... To be the best I possibly can be to my wife, my friends, my family and to my sport...
    My Mini Bio I was born and raised in Southern Africa, and have been running since I was 6 years old. I ran in high school and then NCAA I Track & Field and Cross Country. I am Level I Certified in Crossfit and a USA Track and Field Level I Certified Coach. I have trained and raced on 4 continents and traveled to run in over 20 countries. I qualified to run the Boston and then will be training for the Comrades in South Africa in 2014. I train everyday at least once, sometimes 3 times. I run 5 days a week, and practice yoga two to three times a week. An off/rest day for me consists of a 60 minute Power Yoga class and a 30-40 minute walk on the trails. I live for fitness and for finding new limits to my body.
    Race Results placing 1st at Twisted Ankle Trail Half Marathon and

    14th place at the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon.
    I first started racing because... it was mandatory at Usutu Forrest Primary School in Swaziland, then I fell in love with running...not only was it a form of transportation, but it made me a fantastic Mid-fielder for my soccer games and Cross Country Meets.
    I race competitively today because... I always want to run faster, run harder and be the absolute fittest I have ever been before I reach 40 years of age.
    The achievements I am most proud of are... placing 1st at Twisted Ankle Trail Half Marathon and

    14th place at the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon.
    Training Tip for My Fans 1.) Run and ride with slower athletes to ensure you get your easy/rest days accomplished.

    2.) Stretch, stretch and stretch some more...oh yeah! Join a yoga studio, after age 30 our flexibility goes out the window!

    3.) Ensure you are getting your sleep, without sleep you can't recover and without recovery you can't improve!
    Fun Fact about me I was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia (Southern Africa) My Swazi name is Pikinni Madala, which means "little old man".
    My Favorite Athlete Haile Gebreselassie
    My Favorite Running Shoe Asics Black Pulse 3's and Adizero Racing Flat.

    My Favorite Wet Suit Brand/Model TYR Cat 1 Hurricane
    My Favorite Food Talapia Fish Taco's and milk chocolate covered raisins.
    My Favorite Place to Travel Navalia, Croatia.
    My Favorite Book “Chariots of Fire”
    My Favorite Movie and/or TV Show Universal Sports Channel and Fox Soccer Channel
    My Favorite Quote People may not believe what you say, but they will believe what you do...

    Top 3 New Races in 2011

     There are new races popping up all over the US! The question is not, should I run a race? Rather, Which incredible race should I go out and destroy!!?

    Beer
     
    Here the top three Coach Cawood Inaugural Event picks:
     
    1.) Hell Run of 2011, Coming to a major city new you!!

    Go to www.active.com/running/seattle-wa/see-ja... to register and get you run on!
     
    3.) Fort2Base run in Chicago is very unique, not only for the distance being run, but because of it goes from a Fort to a Base and I don't don't know of any races in the world that have either of these charactheristics.
    Come join us for the inaugural Fort2Base 10 Nautical Mile (11.5 Miles) or 3 Nautical Miles (3.45 mile) running event from Fort Sheridan to Great Lakes Naval Station. All athletes will run the last few miles through Great Lakes Naval Station and finish at the viewing stand of Ross Field. Great goody bag, finisher's medals for all and a terrific family friendly post race party including a live band and great food and games. You have to run the first in order to run them all!

    Go Get'em this Year!!
