About
The thought, “Well, this is it, my triathlon days are over.” has crossed my mind more than once in my 20 years of being a triathlete. The first time was when I went to West Point, and the deployment orders came down: it was time to go to war in Baghdad and suddenly swim, bike, run didn’t seem all that important. However, having twins just 2 years after I returned presented the biggest challenge to my triathlon days. Sure I was 30 pounds over race weight, exhausted out of my mind, and knee deep in poopy diapers – but I wasn’t ready to give up on myself just quite yet.
After 3 professional Ironman 70.3 victories later, multiple Ironman and 70.3 podiums, and being a guide for the Paralympics in Rio for triathlon, I can say my proudest accomplishment is refusing to believe it can’t be done while raising kids that I’m so incredibly proud of.
I don’t believe that raw talent alone will take you to Kona. My coaching style is based on the foundation of building resilient athletes. Because lets face it, if you don’t know how to pick yourself up during the hard times, you’ll never really taste the true satisfaction of success.
