This will be a brief opening blog but I want to highlight my motivation for being a coach. Why do I do this? I’m already super busy as a working professional, a husband, a father and an endurance athlete. So why add more to that lifestyle that is already crazy?
Well the first time I did a Marathon in 2006 the thrill of successfully completing the event was an exciting rush of emotions. I again felt that heightened sense of excitement and the feeling of really being alive when I completed my first Ironman in Brazil in 2007.
In the fall of 2006 I also helped train a group of marathon runners to complete their first marathon. Although personally completing a marathon or an Ironman gives you a feeling of “I can do anything success”, I found it was equally thrilling to see the transformation of others as they worked to complete their own endurance challenges.
With coaching as I train to achieve my own coaching goals I have also been blessed with new friendships, relationships and memories that I will have for the rest of my life. Thank you all for those friendships and experiences.
Soon I’ll be posting my race report for Ironman Arizona. It will be my first post as a competing athlete and a coach of competing athletes.
