Congratulations to our October Athlete of the Month, Melissa Davidson. Here's what her coach, Amanda Williams, has to say:

Melissa’s first triathlon season was nothing short of impressive. She put in the work, learned so much along the way, and built a strong foundation for what’s ahead. I’m excited to see her growth continue and can’t wait to watch her shine next season. Congrats on a great first season and amazing race at Lake George 70.3!  Click here for more on Melissa...

 Congratulations to Mike Zappone on the athlete of the month. Mike came to T3 with limited triathlons under his belt, but you’d never know that based on his athleticism and work ethic. Through exceptional discipline, dedication and a willingness to learn, his goal of completing an Ironman became reality. On July 20th, 2025, Ironman Lake Placid turned out to be a very special day. Surrounded by an amazing family, support crew, and team T3 Mike completed his first Ironman with an exceptional time and an enthusiasm unmatched. Mike showed that with excellent balance between work, family, and training that all aspects of life can fall into place rather beautifully. Congratulations, Mike! Read more about Mike here...

 Coach Carl says, "Kat is having an amazing season as she progresses toward IM Canada-Ottawa the first weekend of August. She rigorously executes the plan and is enjoying the results of the efforts. She has set several personal records this year in the process. Kat has a background as a swimmer, so we have worked to improve her cycling and running off the bike. Kat's 2025 race highlights so far include finishing Eagleman in under 5:30 and recently winning the Broome County Triathlon leading from start to finish! I look forward to her having a big day in Ottawa!  Read more about Kat here...

 Coach Amanda says, "When I first met Megan, I could tell she was slightly hesitant about committing to the 140.6 distance—but that didn’t last long. With an open mind and constantly seeking growth; she’s thrown herself into the sport, always eager to learn and never backing down from a challenge. To put it into simple terms, she a highly coachable athlete that I think has fallen for a new sport. In just four months, she’s crushed her fastest Olympic distance and rocked Mont Tremblant 70.3, proving she’s more than ready for the road ahead."  Read more about Megan here...

 Coach Carl says, "After having competed alongside Mike and his wife, Beth, for many years in many places across the country and the world, I was excited to have the opportunity to coach Mike this season. In addition to being great athletes, Mike and Beth create a positive and supportive atmosphere at any event they go to. Mike balances triathlon training with other pursuits in his life and is a role model in that respect. I look forward to cheering him on in the 70.3 at Mont Tremblant, Quebec in June."  Read more about Mike here...
