Exactly, what a smart race. You should be so proud. Knew exactly what you needed to do and got it done. It does not get better than that!

I've read this thread over a few times now, thank you all for your support

One thing is that I lost the weight with group classes at the gym but they build no athleticism, they are just calorie burners.

My coach built me mentally and physically into an Ironman in 13 months (I did 3 on my own). Good enough for me! Now on to Worlds 70.3! Now it's time to work on speed

Since I was never an athlete I had to build both my internal pacing and my ability to push myself and she has really helped with that.

She built me from nothing into an athlete.

No she didn't; it was your effort and determination that got you off the couch and do the work.

Coaches, even the best, can't do anything with someone who is unwilling to put in the work.

I couldn't agree more.  We just provide the guidance.  The clients do the hard work.

Congrats again on executing your race well!

What if we applied the lesson of encouragement beyond race day? The right word at the right time can work wonders.

The day of the triathlon was one of the best days of my life. I felt strong and healthy. Lots of friends and family came to cheer me on. The support was overwhelming.
