Coach Patrick in action.

“You are not limited by fitness, lifestyle or equipment. Your biggest limiter is the belief in your own potential.”

- Coach Patrick
As an age-group athlete who works full-time (running PTS) and has a wonderful wife, Patrick is acutely aware of the time demands on his fellow age-groupers. An advocate for planning and training smart, Patrick strives to create effective, time-saving training protocols for athletes to help them acheive their triathlon goals.The quest to go from average Joe/Jane to being an Ironman finisher is not an easy path. I have seen and helped countless athletes on this journey, and I have heard all of the excuses. From my experience, the most successful athletes are those who make the most out of what they have and where they are. As an athlete who has lowered my weight to 185 (from 205), has dropped my IM time from 11:44 (to 10:01), has cut my Ironman marathon time to 3:21 (from 4:02), I have developed extensive knowledge on what does–and doesn’t work- for the age group athlete. As part-coach, part-training partner, and part-clown, I have spent the last four years helping athletes take their game to the next level.
