Some characteristics of TriLife coach are obvious, some are more complex… Here is an example, some of our coaches also work with assorted non-profit organizations (as Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Team in Training” programs, for example) that rely of their endurance training programs to raise funds. Once a while our coaches get to shape up and prepare some “celebrity” grade person within these program. Celebrities attract media (or is it media that makes celebrities)… the point is that eventually media cycles such into news content, and coaches end up on TV, in magazines, etc… So why are TriLife coaches so media shy that even other colleagues find about such occasions via back channel (from athletes that happened to catch such occasions)? Is it humility of spirit (or humidity that destroys their hairstyles)? 
So here is recently spied series of promo pieces from Fox TV on Team in Training, Fox “Good Day New York Weather Authority” Mike Woods training for the Nautica New York City Triathlon and some of the TriLife coaches he has been working with to get ready. (Hint, they both love swimming)

Oh Lenny… how far have you come in one year. From tri-geek bike and (very adequate) nutritional supplies for 100 mile training rides to “I’m jumping through holes 12 inches wide just to stay with my lead out and fighting for every inch of real estate. We hit Cat’s Paw… I veer right and I shoot up the gutter on the right, one rider tries to squeeze me into the curb I start yelling ‘coming through’ hoping he will give way. He does. Now approaching the top I can see the front of the peloton to my left with about 6 riders across. After cresting… I drop the hammer and hope for the best. Next thing I know I’m crossing the line first.”
Grace’s X-ray is on the left. Hmmm… so this is how she looks under her race kit and her skin… Titanium hardware and large thumb?
Yes, some triathletes can swim. Here are AB, Deanne, Wendy-Lynn, and Cat AFTER their Manhattan Island Marathon Swim relay. We still not sure “why?” but we will take this as another inspirational proof that once you decide that some goal is a good idea, with motivation and planning it can actually happen.
