Huge congratulations to Ethan for finishing his first 70.3 in La Quinta on Sunday! 🥳🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️
Funny enough, we first connected on Instagram because I followed him after seeing him on a TV show I watched (yes, I admit it 😂). Then he posted about signing up for his first 70.3… and somehow a coach/friendship was born.
When we started working together, he couldn’t swim more than a lap, didn’t own a wetsuit, and was pretty much diving into the unknown. But what he did have was drive—and he balanced training with a full-time job and a packed schedule like a champ.
I’m incredibly proud of Ethan for trusting me, letting me boss him around for the last several months, and showing up for every challenge. He crossed that finish line in a very respectable 6:11, and earned every second of it.
It was also such a joy to finally meet him and his girlfriend in person at the race. Moments like that make this whole coaching thing even more special.
Well done, Ethan. This is just the beginning. 🙌🔥
