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

out how far one can go.” - T.S. Eliot

Do You Have What it Takes?
Coaching 2005

As the tri season begins to unwind, it’s important to reflect on your 2004 season. Did you meet your goals? Were you happy with your performance? D3 athletes are hard working, dedicated, and committed to their improvement! They are athletes who start with a goal of finishing a sprint distance race or attempting an Ironman for the first time. Or they win their age groups and go on to race Kona with stellar results. Once an athlete is part of Team D3, they become a different triathlete; refreshed, focused and, even more committed! If you believe you have desire, determination and discipline, then D3 Multisport coaching should be part of your 2005 training season. We coach a limited number of athletes so that we can provide the best service in the industry. By November 1st, we will reach the maximum for 2005! If you want to join our team, we urge you to contact us soon for more information.
