Malone Coaching

Two Olympic distance races! This is a great distance, even if you are using it to train for a half IM or full Ironman.

I haven't done this race in years but it was always a good one. With so few Olympic distance races out there, I wanted to make sure to promote it!

Coaching isn’t just something I do. It’s who I am. My favorite part is really getting to know athletes and learning how to leverage their strengths and improve weaknesses. In person coaching as well as online coaching has helped me take coaching to a higher level.

Why Wearing the Malone Coaching Kit Matters

I want to take a minute to explain why wearing the Malone Coaching team kit is important to me.

I know that, at the end of the day, it is just a jersey or a race outfit. But to me, it represents so much more than that.

It represents a team.

Triathlon is an individual sport, but you don't get to the finish line alone. You have teammates, coaches, family, friends, training partners, and an entire community behind you. When you put on the Malone Coaching kit, you are saying, I am part of this.

I have spent more than two decades building Malone Coaching. I have poured an enormous amount of time, energy, experience, and heart into creating a team where people can become better athletes and, hopefully, better versions of themselves.

So when I see you wearing the team kit, I feel proud.

I feel proud of the work you have put in. I feel proud that you chose to be part of this team. And I feel proud when I see Malone Coaching represented at races, whether you are racing for a podium, chasing a PR, completing your first triathlon, or simply getting yourself to the start line.

I also want our athletes to recognize one another.

When you see someone in a Malone Coaching kit at a race, I want you to know that you have an instant connection. That's your teammate. Go say hello. Cheer for them. Help them. Take a picture together. Find them after the race.

We celebrate each other's successes, and we help each other through the hard stuff.

The kit is also a representation of the standards we have for ourselves. When you wear the Malone Coaching name, I want you to wear it with pride. Be the athlete who encourages someone else. Be respectful. Be prepared. Race hard. Have fun. Represent yourself and your team well.

And honestly, there is something pretty special about standing on a race course and seeing a sea of Malone Coaching athletes out there together.

That matters to me.

So yes, I would love for you to wear the team kit whenever you race. Not because I want to control what you wear, but because I want us to look and feel like the team that we are.

You are not just a collection of individual athletes who happen to have the same coach.

You are Malone Coaching.

And I am incredibly proud to have you wearing the name.

Andy Van Evera was the first person I coached many years ago when we worked at Lockwood Greene Engineers together. He would always swing by my desk to get some tips on his training and then eventually asked me if I would help him with a plan. He was meticulous in executing all his workouts and progressed quickly to Ironman, where he went under 11 hours in his first attempt at the distance. Over the years, we developed a friendship, and I discovered that I had a lot in common with his wife, Becky. We became family friends and always kept in touch even when I wasn't coaching him. He mentored many other athletes along the way and always led by example. He was a calm, confident and fierce competitor who loved no race more than the Greenville Sprint. He challenged everyone at that race and often finished in the top 10 Overall, even though he was technically in the Clydesdale category. He was constantly pushing himself to get faster and improve. Andy always had a moment for his friends and genuinely cared how we were doing. He was a one-of-a-kind good guy.

A few years ago, at the end of January, he was out running with a friend when a car slipped on ice and hit him. It was a freak accident ending in the unthinkable. Andy, a friend to everyone who knew him, a strong Rugby player at Clemson, was taken from us far too soon. So to honor him for the person he was, we tried to think of something fitting, maybe an award? That wouldn't be enough; somehow, renaming the Greenville Sprint to Andy's Race seemed like the right thing to do. This is the FIFTH year of the race officially be called Andy's race. Thanks to a combined effort Setup Events (Jeremey Davis & Kelly Page) and Ray Walker Trucking (Melinda Lindberg) we changed the official name.

I encourage you to race with an AV on your calf this weekend and in the true spirit of the race to race like Andy did, pushing yourself and testing your limits, all while encouraging others at the same time.

Our team has been built over the years by people like Andy and this is our way to honor that. *Andy is in the middle! In so many ways he is still racing with us. I am grateful for the years of memories racing with him!
