Lori A.

Colleen M. - Athlete (Testimonial)

When I signed up for the Augusta Half Ironman, the longest triathlon I had completed was a Sprint. I got caught up in the excitement of the sport and thought, “I can totally train myself using an online program!” 14 or so weeks out from the race, I was in a panic. Enter Lori. Lori took me from “This was the worst idea ever” to a strong and fun first 70.3. A coach should be at once both encouraging and challenging, and Lori is both. She helped me achieve the goals and managed to not just train my mental and physical endurance but to develop my joy for the sport. Insane schedule? Lack of self-confidence? Tons of trips out of town, endurance injuries and late night panic attacks? I had all of them, and Lori patiently and consistently helped me work through them from a distance. She was always available, quick to respond, and her feedback always got me through whatever hump I was currently having. Not to mention her detailed bike and run training, which kicked my butt – safely – and helped me feel GREAT and completely prepared during the race, but to beat my target time and feel great after I hit that finish line. My weakest sport is the running, and Lori’s expertise here was invaluable. Her use of intervals and target ranges was new to me, and worked wonders for improving my run. My experience with Lori was fantastic, and she was a major factor in the fact that my first 70.3 experience was as exciting and fun as it was. Working with Lori, my biggest problem was trying to reign myself in afterwards and not register for all the races I could find! Do I recommend her? Absolutely. Will I do another 70.3 or run a marathon? Not without her coaching me!

I’m still early in my coaching program with Lori, but so far – it’s been outstanding. I was having a rough season when we spoke – difficulty with finding time to get workouts in with ‘real life’ getting in the way and difficulty with translating my workouts to results. I was coming off of an injury and all signs were pointing to the second half of my season being completely scrapped. With Lori’s help, I was able to get back to a good state of fitness and have some success in later season races – including three podiums in races I did not expect to compete in! I can’t wait to see what I am capable of under her tutelage in 2015.

Kelly S. - Athlete (Testimonial)

Let's get this party started!" And with those words I knew I had found my coach. I am just a regular 40 something year-old girl with a full-time job and a family. I knew I'd never be a competitive racer, but I wanted a way to get and stay in shape, have some fun, and test my limits without getting hurt. I had no idea where to even start. Lori listened to my concerns, frustrations, fears, and whining and helped me figure out a training program that I could follow considering my obligations to work and family. Lori took me from a complete non-athlete to a Chicago Marathon finisher my first year, and to an Ironman Augusta 70.3 finisher the next. She has helped me to develop confidence, minimize anxiety and recognize my true capabilities. It is without a doubt she is an incredible coach and person. I also love that she is not coaching from the sidelines; but that she's out there training, competing, and racing. She is an incredible coach and person.
