Opening Thoughts
The purpose of this e-letter is two-fold. First I would like to share information on training/racing techniques that I have developed in my fifteen years of racing/coaching. If you think there is something valuable in here that others could use, please pass it on. If there is something that you would like to see in here,send me an email. I have developed a large network of great resources and I if I don’t have the answer, I will know someone who does. Secondly, this e-letter will be my personal space to brag about the athletes I coach and give them the praise they deserve—after all—it’s the athlete
that does the hard work.
Train Smart, Coach Mike

Once again the D3 Crew had some solid racing this month. Steve Halvorson took 1st in his AG in final tune up before IM Lake Placid. Joey G ran to a 3rd place overall at the Greeley Sprint. Steve Bouey had a solid race at Buffalo Springs. Tim Sells competed at the CO Tri. Sydney D took 1st in her AG at the CO Tri - way to go Syd! Jenn Hardy took 3rd in her AG at the CO Tri too! Great job everyone! Keep up the good work.
Special Congratulations to Taylor, Grant, and Sean at IM CdA! Grant improved by one hour, Taylor by 20 minutes and Sean went from a 13:01 to 11:31 - a 90 minute improvement - see what hard work does for you!
Join Coach Mike's IRON TOUR!
This summer I will be traveling to all the US Ironman races –
Idaho, NY, WI, and FL! My plan is to ride and run each course
a few days before the actual race – a little recon, if you will. If
you are planning on racing in 2005 and will be at this year’s
competition, feel free to join me for a free course tour. You
can ask me all the questions you want for as long as it takes us
to ride the course. If you would like to join me for a ride or
run, please let me know, as I would enjoy the company!
