Athlete Testimonials

    "Thank you coach Pete for helping me understand the mental edge of racing this year. You have helped me both physically and mentally and from this training I have PR’d at the Ft. Collins marathon, PR’d at the Racine ˝ IM (with a time I never imagined) and completed IM Wisconsin in the cold, wind, and rain. You kept me going in Wisconsin by encouragement and being out on the course all day and supporting everyone to just finish the race… get it done. Relax… Focus… Breathe, this is what I think to myself when I am having a hard training day or race… thank you for everything and I am looking forward to an excellent 2007!"

    "Greetings from the sunny (and snowy) Salt Lake City! I believe I have your navy blue Nike Mile High Multi-Sport shirt. Although I didn't reach my ultimate goal (qualify for Kona), your generosity in my time of need was truly appreciated. I've had so much fun telling friends and family the story of the gentleman who literally "took the shirt off his back," for me.
    "As a matter of fact, it was your final words of encouragement that kept me going the rest of day. Just before I rode off you said, "Just get to the finish." There were a few times when I wanted to pack it up that day, and each time those words fueled my desire to finish my 4th Ironman.
    "Thanks for the loaner and the life lesson."

    "Thanks for your great coaching! I sure enjoyed working with you. You deserve the credit for coaching me from bike novice to competent."

    "Just got back from my races I wanted to thank you. With my confidence as low as it was before I hired you on, I would have gotten frustrated, left the course, and gone home. But thanks to your encouragement, training, and advice, today I kept on trucking... This was my 3rd straight year doing this race and I broke my course PR by 23 minutes! Finishing 1:31 and my first ever 1st place clydesdale at a race! Finished ahead of 12 other clydesdales. I beat thyree Clydesdales in particular who ALWAYS smoke me, the closest one was over three minutes behind me. Then I did a half marathon on Sunday in 1:57:13. Also shattering my half PR by 10 minutes. You are amazing and I'm so grateful!"

    "Last spring I found myself training for my 3rd Ironman with no focus. I have known Pete for years now and approached him about coaching. I knew how to finish an Ironman but I needed someone to push me to my limits and hold me accountable to each training session. Pete set up a punishing schedule that tested my limits and succeeded in helping me reach an 11:22 PR in Canada, 1:20 off my previous best. Thanks Pete for taking me so far!"
