Thanks for visiting my contact page.

I made it a mandate years ago to answer any questions that visitors might ask to the best of my ability. Any answers or suggestions I pass on are the result of my own experiences as an age-grouper who set out on the Ironman journey in Kona some 25 years ago.

I'm not a pro-athlete or a certified coach and I don't pretend to be. If I don't know the answer to your question, I will try and find it for you.

Sometimes people ask "how do I get ready for the Ironman I've entered?"

Talk about a loaded question. Basically what they are asking is "can you set up a training program for me"? Actually I can't because I get visitors from about 70 countries every month and I would spend from dawn to dusk writing out training programs. Besides that, there are many, many great coaches out there who are trained to coach others.

However if you have specific questions that you can't seem to find answers to or just want a sounding board for concerns you may have about the direction your triathlon journey is going or perhaps just want to talk about a race you just finished or is coming up in the future, then feel free to contact me.

I'm always interested to know where people are from so be sure to include your first name and where you call home.
