It’s the New Year - What has this temporal landmark got you dreaming about?
Temporal landmarks are special days that mark beginnings, like the first day of the year, a birthday, first day of school or any other meaningful date. We are often hopeful during temporal landmarks - and dream of a “fresh start” that motivates us to set a new goal.
The challenge is what happens next - when life gets messy, and the excitement is gone. You realize you need more - a roadmap to follow, and an accountability partner.

The solution is a coach. A coach will help fuel your motivation and build momentum by dialing in the day-to-day training, nutrition, race day prep, and recovery - a plan tailored to your goal, fitness level, and lifestyle.
But that’s not enough!
A coach will help you get clarity about your default habits:
The meals you eat when you didn’t preplan,
The mindset you embody when stressed,
The decisions you make when tired.
These default habits impact your ability to make consistent progress toward your goal.
Success isn’t built on perfect “green dot” Training Peaks weeks [weeks where you complete all workouts perfectly]. It’s built by maintaining basic healthy habits while you are being tested by the messiness of life.
Improved performance comes when we can stack a series of good habits while completing “green dot” training weeks. A coach will challenge you to create systems where good habits become the new default. It’s then that you raise the overall performance bar.
If your goal is triathlon- let’s connect- I’d be happy to chat and explore how I can help you reach that goal.
