Opening Thoughts
Hi Everyone –
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you and that I appreciate
your continued support of my web site, newsletter, and
coaching services. Two years ago when I left the REAL 9-5
WORLD to go on my own, there was a lot of anxiety and doubt
of what would happen. Will the bills get paid? Will I end of
living in a 1973 VW van in Nowhere, USA? Will my girlfriend
(now wife) dump me because I couldn’t afford to buy her Ben
and Jerry’s? These are actual thoughts that went through my
little head.
As some of you know, it’s not easy to give up the nice job, the
nice office, and the steady pay check to go out and work in a
profession that you actually love but may not be as lucrative
initially. There are sacrifices, struggles, doubts, and little
victories once in a while but most of all you just keep plugging
along. Sounds kind of like a race doesn’t it? My point is, each
time one of you puts on a D3 cycling jersey, hat, running shirt,
or you race in D3 gear, you are helping to get the word out
about my services and l appreciate that more then
words can say.
One of my initial goals was to have a group of
athletes at the Boulder Peak racing in my Team
D3 gear. Between the Denver Danskin and
Boulder Peak triathlons this past August, I was
very proud to see you out there giving it your all
and representing my coaching services and
mostly seeing how proud you were of yourselves. I
can’t tell you how many people came up to me after those two
races and said, “Man, your athletes were everywhere!” – That is
such a good feeling to hear that I get goose bumps just
thinking about it. In the next two years I would like to take the
D3 presence to the National Level whether it be the LA
Triathlon, Mrs. T’s, Columbia or Alcatraz. Stay tuned, as this will
be one fun trip that you won’t want to miss!
In closing, I want to say thanks and I appreciate your continued
support. Now that the coach is done being sappy, get your butts
back in gear and get your workouts done today! Enjoy the newsletter!
Train Smart and Race Fast!
Sincerely,
Mike Ricci
