K2 Performance, officially launched for the 2013 season, grew out of our combined experiences and successes as coaches, athletes, and race directors. We first began working together through Kat's event, The Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival, in 2008. With years of coaching triathletes, runners, and swimmers between us, we set out to provide the same quality of coaching to our stable of athletes that w
e have provided to the triathlon community as race directors. We are proud to produce a race that earns accolades both for its competitiveness at the elite level and for being a favorite among beginners. K2 Performance is built around the same pillars that have made Pumpkinman a favorite of athletes of all backgrounds. We are dedicated to helping athletes achieve optimal performance whether they are seasoned professionals or toeing the line for the very first time. Our proven training methods can be adapted to meet the needs of all athletes. We ask only that our athletes demonstrate our four cornerstones for performance: DESIRE, DISCIPLINE, DETERMINATION, and DEDICATION. Our model of coaching has helped our athletes secure a Kona slot, become USAT All Americans, earn a Team USA World Championship spot, and win high school state championships. We've also guided our athletes through the process of completing firsts, whether it be a 5k, marathon, sprint distance triathlon, or Ironman.
