He Stopped Overtraining and Started Winning

Coaches Notes

I first met Don at the pool, where he approached me about swim lessons. We met for a swim session, but he ultimately decided to join my Performance Program to prepare for his upcoming 70.3 in Maine.

The Performance Program includes my Nutrition Essentials Program, which was incredibly helpful for Don in working toward a healthier, more ideal weight while learning how nutrition and lifestyle can play such an important role in overall health and well-being.

Don and his wife both loved the program, and on his way to his “A” race in Maine, he went on to win 1st place at several sprint triathlons!

Don was already a fast triathlete, but this time he wanted to approach his training differently. In the past, he had experienced overtraining and stress fractures by pushing too hard and not paying enough attention to nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle.

His goal for Maine was a conservative 5:30 finish. He ultimately finished in 5:45—and he was thrilled with the result because of all the other benefits he gained along the way.

For me, that’s what coaching is really about.
I couldn’t be prouder of Don and the success he’s had in learning how to balance life, work, family, health, and triathlon.

Don, your optimism and energy are a huge asset to our team.
You are a Rockstar Triathlete!

I’m so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished!
