Specialization as a coach

While I have a soft spot in my heart for "purist" sports like swimming and running, I especially enjoy coaching multisport--specifically triathlon. I consider myself more of a generalist than a specialist, which seems to be well suited to the demands of multisport performance.

How did you start competing in running and triathlons?

I started running as a junior in high school because my friends were doing it. But I didn't run year-round until my sophomore year of college when I decided to give triathlon a go. Prior to that, I identified purely as a swimmer. The start of my running "career" was rocky because I made some silly mistakes that now make me cringe to think about!
