What is your “A” race for this season? Ironman 70.3, location t.b.d.

Please share your BIG goals: Maintain the level of fitness and improve training with hopes to compete in another 70.3 race.  As a test to myself.

Tell me about your successes so far:  Success thus far has been the level of fitness which has been a result of consistent training methodologies.  It has taken time, roughly 2-3 years from where it all started for me, never with the intention to train and race in triathlons.  To my surprise the success has been extraordinary thus far.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:  Being able to understand the how and why of our training to be able to accomplish whatever level of race we do.  –The great group of people who share the same disposition and endurance which has had an immeasurable impact to this venture.  Staying healthy and sharing the knowledge.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  The energy and determination, very powerful when your on the sidelines.  Once your in it, the emotions turn to a focused adrenaline feeling.  But most of all is the community of athletes which make the full circle family.  from qualifiers to seasoned veterans to new comers, all make a big impact on training and be determined to perform at my best while having fun sharing these experiences.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  The capabilities are endless.  Putting the fear and uncertainties aside will actually make the transition way easier.  Erinne’s coaching style and excellent team of coaches will greatly improve your fitness and appreciation for the sport.
