MEET our T3 August ATHLETE of the MONTH, Sarah Adelson! 🏊🏻♀️ 🚴 🏃🏻♀️
Coach Amy says: I have been teaching and coaching teenagers for over 20 years so I jumped at the chance to coach Sarah for her first Ironman. I am so glad I did because this young lady works so hard and is a complete ray of sunshine while she is doing it. I can’t tell you how many times in the last few months and especially since Sunday I have said, can you imagine being a freshman in college in the middle of a pandemic and training for Ironman Lake Placid?! The work never seemed to phase Sarah and she was always willing to learn more. This is so well deserved after Sarah and her dad Brian brought so many smiles to peoples faces on Sunday at Ironman Lake Placid.
Her father, Brian says: From an early age, we have known that when Sarah sets her sights on a goal, nothing will stand in her way. At the age of five, she decided that she would do an Ironman when she was 18. This did not happen due to Covid, she finished it this year at the age of 19, and was the youngest female in the race. Crossing the finish line on Sunday night was a highlight of my life. Being there for the culmination of two years of training and anxiety over what race day would bring was truly inspiring. Sarah embodied the Ironman spirit showing grit and grace throughout the day. She had a big smile even though in pain, she thanked every volunteer and encouraged athletes along the course. She truly enjoyed the experience and I could not have been more proud. While Sarah hit this amazing milestone, she could not have done it without Coach Kevin, Coach Amy and the entire T3 community. Thank you for supporting Sarah throughout the day…She is an Ironman! Visit t3coaching.net for full read.
