WARREN FRANK - PWCOFFSHORE 'Gunz Group' Racer
Warren brings a tremendous amount of 'Passion, Drive and Dedication' to the sport, representing the PWCOFFSHORE Gunz Racing team. An accomplished triathlete and power sport enthusiast, he recently took the 2009 LB2CAT National Challenged Athlete Title on July 12th.
Warren has already made a tremendous impact on our PWC (personal watercraft) offshore racing sport paving the way for a new category of PWC athletes. The PWCOFFSHORE Race Team welcomes Warren into the Gunz Racing division with great enthusiasm.
The PWCOFFSHORE Race Team looks forward to working with Warren Frank to grow the sport and achieve success on the racecourse. It should also be noted that Warren has been able to achieve competition success racing with a prosthetic leg against able bodied competitors. Again, a reflection of Warren's intensely driven nature and ability to succeed.
Warren's racing compliments the enthusiasm he has for speed and pushing his own limits. He enthusiastically applies his energies creating awareness and support for challenged and able bodied athletes to try out PWC offshore events.
Warren usually places in the top 3 in his class during triathlons. In the Big Bear Xterra Offroad Triathlon, Warren entered the "able body" division and came 3rd in his age group. After 6 years of running triathlons, Warren has transitioned to Offshore & Endurance PWC racing where Warren states that "you need a similar mindset of pushing through the pain when your body tells you to stop."
Warren has adopted an extremely aggressive PWC offshore training regime, "I was on my PWC training 3 times a week prior to the LB2CAT" said Warren. "Riding as fast as I can for an hour to simulate a race and the other ride I'll go easier and maybe do some offset training drills. Four times a week I go to the gym and do weights then afterwards either run on the treadmill for 20 minutes, run real stairs for 20 minutes or ride the spin bike on a very high resistance (standing only) for 30 minutes' states Warren.
Warren further explains, "After a training session I'll stretch my muscle groups. My new rule is when my Jetski's engine is running, I'm standing. No more sitting. When driving on the road anywhere-anytime I have to use my forearm exerciser, I have different ones that I squeeze open and closed or just keep closed as long as I can".
Warrren Frank went on to say "I want to thank everyone at PWCOFFSHORE.COM and everyone involved with them for accepting me into their elite group. We live in this incredible age where prosthetic parts and components allow me to compete on a level and be competitive with everyone else and just the fact that my piers have the confidence in my racing performance is truly inspiring."

"Don't cry over spilled milk, suck it up, move on and have fun doing it."
