Kevin has coached all different levels & disciplines of triathlon.

In May 2006, Kevin became a USAT Level I Triathlon Coach. Kevin was the Race Director for the Fronhofer Tool Triathlon, a USAT Sanctioned Olympic Distance Triathlon, held for 10 years in Cambridge, NY. He also holds indoor and outdoor swim clinics as well as other triathlon-related activities throughout the year. Kevin's background stems from a strong swimming career, in which he was an All-American at SUNY Cortland. Since 1998, he has coached swimming at all different levels (College, High School, and Club).

In 2016, Kevin was earned the New York State High School Swim Coach of the Year Award. Currently, Kevin is a Physical Education teacher and varsity swim coach at Glens Falls High School.

Kevin has been married since 2001 and has three children.

Carl completed his first triathlons in August 2006 and is celebrating his most fun season ever in 2017. The friendliness of the competitors and the athletic experience got him hooked. Since that time, Carl has completed over 70 triathlons, including a few draft-legal events. Having fun in every workout and race is his primary goal!

Carl's approach to racing and coaching is that, after the hard work and preparation, race day should be easy, relaxed, and fun. Carl brings an engineer's perspective to coaching and is a student of the sport. He started to run competitively in his mid-30's, but had limited background in swimming or competitive biking prior to 2006. As such, he can relate to athletes who want to learn the sport of triathlon from the ground up. His focus is to get athletes to the starting line with confidence and without doubts about how they will execute the race. While Carl can teach fine points like transition technique and what to look for on a pre-race inspection of the course, he also likes to provide beginners the knowledge he would like to have had prior to his first multisport race. Carl has been certified as a USAT Level I Triathlon Coach since 2014.

Carl's multisport accomplishments include:

• USAT All American (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), Honorable Mention (2011, 2012)
• Overall winner of the HITS North Country Sprint Triathlon in 2015
• Fifteen top three triathlons finishes
• ITU World Championship Sprint Distance participant, 2015, 2016, 2017

Carl is married, works as an electrical engineer, and lives in Saratoga Springs, NY. He and his wife, Melinda, have been remodeling their 1870's house since 1996. Carl and Melinda enjoy cycling vacations - rain or shine - and cross-country skiing in the winter.

John began his career in coaching as a personal trainer in 2004 helping clients achieve an array of goals from weight loss to marathon training. Over the past 13 years he has gained a great deal of knowledge and experience while working with athletes of all abilities and skill levels. His goal is to help every one of his athletes learn how to make health and fitness a lifelong achievement, not just a short-term goal. As a coach, John has proven success:

• Coached an athlete to an AG podium @ IMLP
• Multiple AG podiums @ Tinman
• A top 3 finisher of HITS Hague
• Turning a 5k goal in 2012 into an Ironman finish in 2017

John's personal athletic accomplishments include:
• 4x Ironman finisher (2013, 2015 Lake Placid, 2014, 2016 Mont Tremblant)
• Multiple age group and Clydesdale wins across the east coast
• 5th place podium finish Breck Epic 2015 (6 day mountain bike stage race)

In May of 2014, John received his USAT Level I Triathlon coach certification to add to his Personal Training, Advanced Personal Training, and Weight Room Specialist Certifications.

John grew up in northeast Pennsylvania where he met his eventual wife Rebecca. They spent nearly 10 years in St Petersburg, FL while in school and starting their professional careers. They have called upstate New York home for over a decade now and love staying active during all four seasons.

 Tim has been an athlete his entire life, beginning with hockey and lacrosse through high school in southern Vermont. At Skidmore College, he found his love for endurance sports. He learned to swim at age 19 and walked onto the swim team there, focusing on the 500 and 1650 freestyle events. While at Skidmore, Tim was also the president of the running club, which competed in local road running events mostly ranging from 5-10k. During the summer of 2009, Tim did his first triathlons, finishing nearly last (and riding a borrowed mountain bike...). Becoming a better triathlete would become an obsession of a lifetime.

As an age group racer after college, Tim qualified for 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas (2013), Ironman World Championships twice (2013, 2014), and ITU Age Group World Championship sprint and Olympic distance events (2014). Also after college, he began his coaching career, coaching individual age group triathletes, high school cross country/track and field teams, and club swim teams.

In 2015, Tim decided to make the leap into professional racing and took a USA Triathlon elite license. He has taken pro wins at Pumpkinman (2015, 2018) and Savageman (2019), and has also won several smaller races in the Northeast. He has finished as high on the 70.3 pro circuit as 13th (Steelhead 2018), and 15th at the New York City Triathlon (2018). Today, Tim continues to coach and race professionally while residing in Saratoga Springs, NY with his wife, Annie, and two cats, Clementine and Miki.

 Amy Farrell has been coaching since 1999, over the years she has coached everything from high school track and field athletes to masters runners and triathletes. Her athletes have won state championships on the track and qualified for national championships in triathlon.

In 2009 she was the 30-34 World Champion at the 70.3 distance and in 2014 she was the 35-39 Ironman World Champion as well as the second female amateur overall. She was the overall female winner at Ironman Lake Placid in 2015 and 2017, Ironman North Carolina in 2016, and Ironman Santa Rosa in 2018.
