Years as a Tristar Athlete: 1
What do you like most about your training plan?: Confidence that everything has a purpose. I had a great sense of trust in everything we did.
Why did you chose to work with Team Tristar Athletes: When I explored the idea of taking on my first Ironman I had a preliminary discussion with Cliff that solidified my confidence in our partnership to make it happen. The way Cliff explained the training plan within the context of life and work put me at ease that Ironman might actually be possible. Furthermore the size and caliber of Tri Star family offered validation that clearly Cliff knows what he's talking about.
What was the best part of your coaching experience?: The feeling of preparation I had just before I entered the water for my first Ironman.
I started my Ironman journey with Cliff to "explore what's possible". My goal was to finish. There were inevitable mounting nerves in the days, hours and minutes leading up to my first Ironman start. However I'll never forget the surprising calm that came over me just before the swim start. Cliff had me ready!
If you were to recommend Tristar Athletes to a friend, what would you tell them?!: Dream big.
Trust the plan.
Do the work.
Trust Cliff!!!
