A new chapter

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I got my Level I coaching certification from USAT. Since then, I have been working on becoming a coach with Training Bible. The fit just seemed natural, since I was already a Training Bible athlete under the umbrella of a fantastic coach, Jim Vance. Earlier in the year, I began training with Adam Zucco, and picked his brain (probably to the point of annoying the crap out of him!) about what triathlon coaching is all about. I applied to become a coach via the training bible and a few weeks later joined the team!! I am very excited about this opportunity to increase my learning about this sport that I love, and to help others the same way that so many people helped me. So, if you need some coaching help, shoot me an email at the cool, new email address, siott@trainingbible.com. I look forward to the challenges and experiences that this new opportunity has to offer!!!!

On the training front...I have put together some solid days since my mid-season break. The weather has been violent at times. We are getting some serious rain and thunderstorms, much like the weather that is playing havoc on the U.S. Open at Bethpage. Also, summer break is going very well. One thing I enjoy about being a teacher is the time off work during the summer. I love the extra time I have to spend with the kids, going to the park, playing in the sandbox, and enjoying the "dad time" with Kyle when he is up at 5 a.m.! And, kudos to my wife who is doing some interval work on the treadmill daily, up and down all those huge hills!! I don't know what she enjoys more the exercise or catching up on her celebrity gossip watching Holllywood Insider! All for now.
