In this addition of meet my crew, you guys get to meet my awesome coach\! I have been woking with him for a few years now. He has brought me through my first marathon, a few 70.3's, 4-140.6's, taking over an hour off of my 140.6 time, decreasing my half marathon time, and now leading up to the double IM. He also coaches my husband George, who is a very successful athlete. I am incredibly excited that he and his wife decided to come to Tampa for this race!
