Over the past 6-8 months I have been coaching and mentoring a few friends. I just realized today how proud of them I am. It is crazy how much they have improved and it makes me feel good inside to be able to make a difference in something that they put a lot of time and effort into. I tell them that they did it not me. You get what you put in and a little extra direction just keeps you on the right path. 
My boy Tanner went from 20min to 14:30 in his 1,000yd swim and is beginning to catch me on the bike. Stephanie is a freak of nature that is oblivious to how good she really is. She did her first 70.3 triathlon at Lake Stevens and went 5:07 to qualify for Worlds in only her 5th triathlon. Then she went to Clearwater Worlds 70.3 and went a 4:22 putting her in the top 10 for females. Last but not least we have Ardie who cut ¼ of her time off her 50yd freestyle going from 1:00 to 43sec. She won’t admit it but she is beginning to look like a fish in the water. Keep up the good work kiddos and let me continue to direct you in the right direction.
