Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

  I'm still feeling the positive energy from this past weekend.  For the first time in the history, the biggest triathlon stage in Kailua-Kona hosted the first dedicated women’s VinFast IRONMAN World Championship race (the men's race was on September 10th in Nice, France). In a world where women are much less represented in sports media than men, the spotlight exclusively shined on female age group and professional triathletes for the entire Ironman World Championship coverage. And not suprising (because I know how strong and powerful female athletes can be), every athlete who entered the water at the women’s 2023 Ironman World Championship exited before the swim cutoff time and 97% of age-group women who started the race finished it! When I participated in my first Ironman World Championship in 2007 at the age of 25 years, the event had 1800 participants - and there were just under 500 women! In 2019, for my 5th Ironman World Championship, 663 females finished the race out of...

  "Keep showing up." You've probably heard the saying that 80% of success in life is just showing up. What does showing up mean? Being in the right place at the right time is a key to success. But when you show up consistently, you create more chances that you are in the right place when opportunities appear. Showing up means being present and consistently appearing for things that matter to you. It means being present by living in the moment. This can be showing up for a family/friend in need, showing up despite having overcome a physical/mental health issue/injury or showing up despite all of the odds against you. Setbacks haven't stopped you because you are dedicated to showing up to life. This has allowed you to recover from obstacles in your path. Because it's better to take the smallest step than take no step at all, keep showing up. With over 20 Trimarni athletes participating at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, we would like to introduce you to som...

I graduated from a smalltown high school in western  Michigan in 1965.  There were no sports for girls back then and  no female athlete role models for young women either.  I  was sedentary until my late 30s, when I then took up running.

RETUL. Group training camp. Coaching. --------------------------------------- Describe your athletic background and how you discovered your current sport? Bryan: I played baseball in elementary school and football in middle school but fell out of organized athletics around the 8th grade. I skateboarded pretty hard after that, but never thought of that as being athletic. In high school, I starting smoking and became an alcoholic in college. It runs in my family so it wasn’t hard to pick up those habits. It became the thing I was “good at”. Party? No problem - I was always the last one standing. Funny how I was still competitive during that time in my life. I drank pretty hard through college and my f...
