Fun facts: Coach Cliff: “All of our athletes should posses Yuki’s silent drive and determination to improve. Yuki has been following the training and planning methodically for years and getting faster. One of the great Tristar ambassadors, Yuki has been a team player at our races and camps brining new energy and speed to everyone he trains with. Chance meetings with great athletes dont happen often, I feel lucky to have met Yuki and help him achieve his goals.
Yuki: “My first race was Xterra off-road triathlon @ Laguna Beach back in 2016. I started MTB 7 years before that and self-trained for a year and finally I made it. After that race, I came across a swimming group, SMOG, and got to know Cliff and now I'm racing 70.3 Ironman and training is part of my life. I want to play golf once in a while, but I guess I'm not good at managing my spare time ;) My hobby is being a couch potato and watching TV!”
My bike improved a lot second year with Cliff, so now I need to focus on running, but as I run longer and faster.
