The Triathlon NZ Level 1 Coaching Course is confirmed for the weekend after next - IT'S ON
There was a chance that it might not be if there weren't sufficient numbers, but there is - so.... IT'S ON
And now I'm nervous again
((sigh))
But.... I will go.... I will be positive in my abilities.... I will NOT compare myself to the sub 10hr Ironman (I've been googling participants names - best not to know I decided and stopped at the sub 10hr Ironman)
I have something... different... to offer any athletes that take a chance on me and let me coach them. Then I get to call them MY athletes - cool.
I have a "back of the pack" perspective....
I have a "mummy guilt" perspective....
I have an "I love food, can't lose weight" perspective....
I have a "god I love achieving goals even if I suck" perspective. Or should I change that to "HAVE TO TRY HARD" perspective....
I figure there isn't actually too many of those coaches around, so why the heck not....
I'd go to me....
Well, I hope somebody does anyway, otherwise I'll just be coaching myself and The Saint, and he doesn't listen to a word I say
Only 9 more sleeps 'til I become triathlon brainwashed, as if I wasn't already

YAHHHHH! Good for you!
Have fun with it! You have a lot to offer.
I would go to you...
keep your head up you DO have a lot to offer!
Kathy-that is awesome. You, no doubt, have a lot to offer your athletes. You've got an interesting perspective and you're also an Ironman, afterall!!
Kathy,
I hope the course goes really well.
I've just been nosey-ing through the age lists for the PoT HIM - they've got you in the wrong age group I think!
Unfortunately they've got mine wrong, I seem to have more luck losing weight than age!
Cheers,
Juls
You could SO coach me if you lived here
They're lucky to have you
Sounds like a fun deal. You'll have a lot of great insight for those folks!!!
Wow! You're coaching? That's so cool. I'm sure there are people out there that want exactly what you have to offer, it's just a matter of finding them. Have fun!
There are so many people who have the same thoughts/feelings/perspectives... I am one of them! And I love my coach, but HE is FAST and a PRO. And I sometimes wonder if he really gets me. You have so much to offer as a coach!
You'll be a great coach! If you lived here, and I had the money, and a serious event to train for- I'd hire you.
