Clinic Testimonials

I just wanted to say thanks so much! I had so much fun this morning. I was torn between doing my own brick or doing the clinic, and I'm so glad I did the clinic! I now understand a bit more how it works. On a side note, for the past 12 years I've been the event director for the East Coast Wahine Championships, the largest women's surf contest on the east coast. It's going on this weekend, and since I'm trying to embrace my step down as director - today's clinic was just what I needed to get my mind off the surfing.
Thanks!

Mary,
A huge thank you for the amazing work you and your team of trainers did this morning!! Race anxiety had started to set in for me a few days ago and I feel 100% better after doing both the Triathlon Clinic and the Open Water Swim Clinic. I can't imagine doing my triathlon without all of your expert tips and heartfelt support. Sincere thanks to ALL!!

Mary,

You are so inspirational and emotional to my girlfriend she comes home in tears. All of the important aspects of her life have become stronger and more clear. Not only have you changed my girlfriend's outlook and focus in life but through her you have inspired me.

Thank you,

Sincerely,
Brian

You and your team helped create a mindset that I could do this swim. I was prepared thanks to your open water clinics and the technique pool clinics.

Thank you for that.

Mary, Ed, and the entire staff -

Thank you for that.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
I have no doubt that without your swim clinics, open water clinics, and triathlon/transition clinics I would've not been able to do this!

Hi Mary,

Thank you for putting on great training events. Your "Into to Tri Clinic" was incredibly informative, the Swim Video Analysis REALLY helped my stroke techniques, and the Open Water Swim Clinics GREATLY prepared me for the race. You are supportive yet assertive, challenging each of us to step up to the next level.

Hi Mary,
I am currently preparing for my 6th sprint triathlon, 3rd half marathon, 1st full marathon, and a half-ironman. I attended the clinics expecting to receive excellent and easy to understand tips and insight about improving my performance, which I did. However, what I could not have anticipated was how powerful the clinics would be on a deeper level. To share briefly...

Your clinics this morning exposed me to a raw, real piece of myself I had not visited in quite some time. A piece of me powerful beyond measure and stronger than I could imagine. I initially resisted several of your comments because they interfered with my habits and constructs. But then you said this: "Me and my coaches are not interested in your excuses, explanations for why you have done things in the past, or comments about why your habits work for you. We are only interested in helping you become better and do more." That shook me up! Suddenly I was surrounded by people who weren't just telling me to change to be authoritative, but who believed in my ability to achieve my potential. Wow, what a wonderful reality!
Thank you again. I am looking forward to participating in your triathlon on Sept 19 (the elite division)
All the best. Namaste

I still remember the lecture at REI when I was thinking what the )*&# has my friend got me into, I am not an athlete I am an out of shape, overweight uninspired person. My outlook on life has done a 360. I feel better, younger and with more energy than ever before and 30 pounds lighter.

Thank you and ALL of the team.

Mary,

What a great job of explaining things in a way that made sense and was easily applicable. I learned a ton and I can see the difference it made already and am eager to get some more instruction. I could not be happier.

Hey Mary,
The hill training was great for the run. I got a ton out of the swim portion of the Tri clinic, and the OW swim clinic. Your volunteers did a great job giving tips and having patience with us. A great confidence booster.

Thanks,

Chuck

Hi Mary,

I LOVED today's workout (Queen Anne pool)! It was tough but do-able, and I found that I was able to push past previous limits. I feel that I have improved tremendously since starting. Many thanks again,

Diane
