  • Jim VanPeursem

    My goal was to finish a full distance Ironman. I’m in my 50’s and have done some endurance running and cycling in the past, but swimming was new to me, as were triathlons. I felt confident that I could train myself for either a running or cycling endurance race, but I didn’t feel confident in…

  • Tracy Gilbert

    I started working with Courtney only 2 ½ months prior to my first full Ironman in Lake Placid. I was nervous about my ability to even complete the race. I wasn’t performing at the level I had been hoping to that close to the event.  Courtney spent a lot of time getting to know me…
