Boston triathlon coach. Sprint to IRONMAN, dialled in.
USAT certified, TrainingPeaks Level 2, 4× IRONMAN World Championship qualifier, IRONMAN 70.3 champion. I coach Boston triathletes from first sprint to Kona qualification — with the local swim, bike, and run venues that actually work in New England's seasons.
Why local matters for triathlon
Triathlon is a logistics sport before it's an endurance sport. Finding safe open water, a bike loop without lights every quarter mile, and a pool that doesn't close in summer is half the battle in New England. A coach who lives here knows where to send you — and when the windchill or water temperature means moving the session indoors.
I program around Walden Pond's June-to-October window, the Hanscom loop for hard bike work, the rolling roads west of 128 for long rides, and the Charles for brick runs. Winter shifts to Zwift, the pool, and treadmill — same physiology, different venue.
