This is very exciting for me as this past season I had become more involved with working with a lot of the participants in terms of their actual training and racing, where as before I had concentrated on the organizational and fundraising aspects. I loved helping them improve and it was a blast seeing every single one of them cross the finish line in Hawaii or Palm Springs.
So now, I'll be coaching in an official capacity; actually co-coaching with Tim Petlin who is one of my all-time favorite TNT people. We'll also have a couple assistant coaches and a whole host of captains and mentors to help, most of whom came from this past Team. They are all great and fun people and I know the new season is going to be fantastic.
I'm very grateful for the opportunity and to those that really supported me. I suppose my love for TNT and triathlon really shows.
I'm dedicated to doing the best job I can with this new Team. As always, I will get to know each and every participant and do whatever I can to help them. It wasn't that long ago I was a newbie myself so I find it easy to relate to the millions of questions and general apprehension that comes with being new to the sport.
This adds a bit of a twist to my Ironman training but Coach Tim also has an IM in the fall as does Asst. Coach Emily, so we'll keep each other honest in our training.Also, I've come to realize that my involvement with TNT really fuels my passion for triathlon and that can only be a good thing as I move forward with this huge undertaking.
Kickoff for the new season is May 17th. BRING IT ON!!
