No foolin’, Ryan Keller is April’s Athlete of the Month!

In each of his three years as a T3 athlete, Ryan has continued to get MUCH stronger and smarter about pacing, fueling, and utilizing restorative techniques to get the most out of each training session. He is not afraid to step outside his comfort zone and knows how to embrace the discomfort that is sometimes required to do just that. Additionally, with two kids under the age of three, Ryan has mastered the skill of balancing triathlon with family and fun. Much of his run training is done while pushing a stroller and it’s not uncommon to see a long indoor training ride interrupted in order to rush a desperate child to the bathroom. Ryan is focused, humble, humorous, and HUNGRY to take his performance to the next level.
