Last spring, I attended an informational meeting for people interested in participating in a triathlon for the first time. I had my doubts, but after attending the meeting, seeing Ken's energy and passion for the sport, I signed up to do the beginner triathlon training. Ken provided a training program that was interesting and fun, while providing activities needed to succeed. Ken's training class helped me succeed with my first triathlon. It was an awesome feeling crossing the finish line!
