A:  Too early to tell still a newbie, but liking the 70.3 distance more and more.

A:  Patience – big changes don't happen over-night in all three disciplines. Look for those incremental changes and go from there. Once and a while go outside your comfort zone during a training session. Every workout doesn’t have to be hard.

A:  It's not the end of the world if you miss a workout. Some days you have it and some you don't – it's the up/down theory. Don't expect every training day is going to be great. You need to adapt to how your body is feeling.

A:  My favorite workout is an OWS - especially in Mirror Lake.

A:  Keep things in perspective and balance all aspects of your life.  Having a coach simplifies the training routine – keeps the guessing out of the equation.
