Rockstar Triathlete Lara Dyke
Coaches Notes:
Lara contacted me after several DNFs (Did Not Finish) at the Ironman Distance. I was super excited to help her get started on the journey.
We have a two-year plan, as that is sometimes what it takes to build up the training required to finish before the cut-off time. Her success so far has been tremendous. Instead of walking more than running in her training, we have reversed it. She has better bike handling skills and can hold a consistent pace for training and racing. In the swim She overcame panic and trauma that was holding her back. Swimming open water without stopping.
