This year was my 3rd attempt to complete the ironman in Penticton BC. My first 2 attempts I didn't make the bike cut off.
I've heard about the NRG training team through friends and decided to give Nigel a call in the spring. Nigel was very supportive and positive and didn't hesitate about wanting to help me accomplish my dream of becoming an ironman. I worked with Sylvie, who is a fantastic , knowledgeable ,supportive and accessible coach. Fiona who readily provided me with helpful tips for the swim, bike and run, and of course Nigel, who continually provided positive encouragement.
Throughout the summer I truly enjoyed training with the other NRGPT athletes, who trained and supported each other. The entire atmosphere is truly very encouraging and supportive.
Nigel, Fiona and Sylvie really drilled into my head how important nutrition is. It is the 4th element of an ironman event.
I trained hard and was rewarded with being able to finally make the bike cut off this year. It was a real thrill. I truly enjoy being a part of the NRGPT team.
