Athlete Testimonials
"Good
to see you guys in Madison. Thanks for the encouraging words raceday
and expanding my knowledge base up to that point. Great training and
perfect execution has me headed to Kona in 2010. 2nd place AG 50-54 in
10:24:06, even cracked the top 100 overall for the first time! Thanks
guys." - Tim Dupree @ Ironman Wisconsin 2009 "I was the slightly out of it guy who grabbed you outside the finisher’s chute at Madison and was blathering on about how you guys saved my butt!! Some pretty incredible results your group posted – particularly the guy who won his AG!! Just the sliver’s of wisdom gleaned from your “Four Keys” video were absolute GOLD in my IM experience – my first!! I would most certainly have blown up at about mile 5 of the run if not for heeding your admonition to “jog” the first 3-5 miles. Pretty much every detail – from slamming two “Naked” smoothies at 2AM, to conserving heartbeats and spinning up the hills on the bike, to realizing I only have 8-10 miles on the run to be “stupid” – bore itself out as absolute fact!! I cannot express the level of gratitude I feel for your words, your wisdom, and that freaking awesome video…. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! - Darin Jones (#1473) Ironman Wisconsin 2009 "If you only read one section of my big race report, I highly recommend it be the Run part! If you read that, you'll find that I only took over first place in my AG with less than 4 miles to run. Why did it take so long? Because while they ran faster first half-marathons than I did, they blew up enough on the second half that my 1:49/1:53 split meant I ran over 10 minutes faster than they did on the second half. If this is not a testimony to how badly most people pace themselves on the run, and how well the EN strategy works, I don't know what is." - Maryka S., W35-39 1st Place at Ironman USA "If I had one word to describe my experience it would be 'magical.' I carried a smile on my face the entire race knowing I have the best coaches, am part of the best online endurance community, had the best training plan, best execution plan and more than 30 people from my home town cheering me on." - Joe Ruiz, First Timer @ Ironman USA: 11:49 "To everyone in the EN Haus, especially my IMCDA Brothers and Sisters: THANK YOU for making this such a wonderful experience. 21
weeks ago I was sort of lost...had no idea what I had gotten myself
into or how I was going to get to June 21. Then I found the Four Keys
video, I think in USAT magazine, and I saw a glimmer of hope.
Well, I've gotten so much more than I could ever have imagined...Training guidance, group therapy, race strategy, race day support for me and my family, coaches on the course and at the finish line to congratulate me. Every piece of advice, from the forums, from the coaches' execution strategies, from the 4 Keys, etc., (I can't even name all the sources!) were spot on and helped make this one of the great experiences of my life. Around mile 16 on Sunday, I was thinking "I don't think I have to do this again." By Tuesday morning, I woke up thinking, "I wonder how much faster I could do it?" Today, I'm thinking about which event it will be. Whatever it is I'll definitely be here in the Haus. -- Ray "Thank You!! I happened to be walking by the Gatorade bottle when you were coaching at CDA, and took to heart your advice about warming up miles 1-30 on the bike, and giving you 30 seconds on miles 1-6 on the run. Executed that bike perfectly, with reverse splits, not as well on the run, but your advice was invaluable. I signed up for the wait list and want to become part of the Team! In the interim, thanks again for the great coaching!! -- Unknown
