2007 LA Triathlon

"I just wanted to say “thank you” for the valuable training plan. With 1 year old twins my life is a bit chaotic, so I squeeze in workouts as time allows. Your training plan served as a great guide to structure my workouts, and as it turned out, I won my division at the LA triathlon! Thanks again!”

Spring is here!
