Successful Escape!

This year I coached a group of a few dozen athletes from all over the globe in their preparations for the world famous Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco, California.  The group was diverse in its background, fitness and skill sets but all had the common goal of a successful escape. Below is a note from one of this year's Alcatraz triathlon training program participants.

Rachel,

I wanted to thank you for the plan you provided us to prepare for the Alcatraz race.  Despite arthroscopic knee surgery in November, a hip flexor injury in January and a bad case of respiratory flu in February, I made it through the race under my goal time of 3 hours.  I credit the plan you put together for much of what I consider to be a very successful race.  Thank you…and best of luck with the remainder of the 2013 season!
