Medal Monday marks a big milestone for Mandi as she made her return to triathlon after a 10+ year hiatus. She had a great day on the course, redefined success for herself as an athlete and a mom, and is headed towards 70.3 Jones Beach in September.

🎉Congratulations, Mandi on making a bold return to a sport your love so much! This is just the beginning 🔥

Good luck to Mandi G. making a return to triathlon. She’s opening her season at the Mighty Montauk Olympic Triathlon. Go get it, girl. You’re a rockstar!

🏅Medal Monday 🏅celebrates two extraordinary women on two incredible journeys.

Catherine completed the NYRR Mastercard Women’s Mini 10k injury-free!! It was her longest distance race since being plagued by injuries for several years.

Amanda landed top 3 in her age group at the Princeton Triathlon… what a way to open her triathlon season on her birthday weekend, nonetheless.

Congratulations!!!

Good luck to my athletes racing this weekend!

Amanda and Matt take on the Princeton Triathlon, while Catherine and Mandi run through Central Park at the New York Mini 10k.

I said to someone recently, “you don’t actually have to like running in order to do it. You just have to like the way it makes you feel.”

I hated running. I’ve never thought of myself as a “good runner.” But running became a vehicle for me to challenge myself in ways I never had and never knew I was capable of. Running taught me lessons I didn’t know I needed to learn. Running became my gateway to triathlon. And that’s when I finally started to love running.

Running is bigger than me… than you… than us.
Running doesn’t care how fast you are.
It rewards consistency over perfection.
Courage over talent.
Strategy over ego.

It’s about learning that you’re capable of more than you thought.
It’s about keeping a promise to yourself when nobody’s watching.
It’s about finding out that confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build, one run at a time.
It’s about discovering that progress comes from consistency, not perfection.
The miles don’t matter - it’s the person you become because of those miles that do.

So today, I’m celebrating every runner:
The beginner.
The comeback runner.
The marathoner.
The run-walker.
The “I only have 20 minutes” runner

Running has a way of teaching lessons that have very little to do with running.

What’s the biggest lesson running has taught you?

This is a hard-hitting 🏅Medal Monday 🏅right here.

🔥Nancy smashed her first triathlon. She was proudly the oldest competitor, and hit all of her goals which included
✅racing strong
✅finishing the race
✅not coming in last
And because she came to play, she finished first in her age group. A few months ago Nancy couldn’t swim 1 lap without stopping. On race day, she swam for 300 meters.

🔥Mike celebrated big with his first triathlon finish! Mike has been working so hard on his swim to become a triathlete because it’s the one thing that’s held him back from putting all three sports together. But it didn’t hold him back this weekend. He swam strong, crushed the bike, and owned the run. Can’t wait to see what else lies ahead.

🔥Andrea had a breakthrough performance with a 2nd PLACE FEMALE finish, and first place in her age group. There’s really not much more I need to say other than HOLY COW and CONGRATULATIONS.🎉

🔥Thanks for a great day for our team, Abington!

You can’t buy happiness. But you CAN buy confidence. And that’s why you hire a coach.

Enjoy this picture of me circa 2012 wearing coke bottle glasses at a flea market in Colombia. Everything about this picture makes me laugh. And while I do take triathlon and coaching seriously, I also don’t take myself too seriously. Life is for living.

DM if you’re training for Ironman and want to cross the finish line with CONFIDENCE.

Please enjoy this picture of me circa 2012 at a flea market in Colombia. It’s literally one of my favorite pictures of me because all of it is so ridiculous. I take triathlon seriously, but we can’t take ourselves too seriously sometimes.

Our first TEAM TRIATHLON OF THE YEAR is tomorrow! Good luck to Andrea, Matt, Mike and Nancy racing the Abington Sprint Triathlon.

Andrea will also take on HYROX New York on Monday - can’t stop won’t stop.

Excited to be cheering you all on!!

👉🏼will you be at Abington or Hyrox?
