Name: Angela Kirkendall
Years as a Tristar Athlete: 1
What do you like most about your training plan?: I love that me and my coach can have open dialogue about my life and the limitations on time. She is able to adjust the training program so I can live my life that includes full-time work, grad school and family. She makes it all work so that in well prepared for my races all while balancing LIFE!
Why did you chose to work with Team Tristar Athletes: First I met Megan Tobin at an OWS swim practice and knew I needed her to coach me. Her enthusiasm and excitement for swimming and multisport were just what I needed. Then I started meeting the other TriStar Athletes and went to training camp and met Cliff. The support given at my first 70.3 by Cliff and Megan and at camp were more than I expected. No matter what level the athletes are, they are all supportive of each other.
What was the best part of your coaching experience?: Having the support of my coach. Knowing that if I work hard and stick to the plan, I will be successful. Also, my coach saves me from myself. When I was self coached I felt guilty for taking days off, killing myself day in and day off. Now I look forward to my days off knowing this is all a part of the plan. I trust the process.
If you were to recommend Tristar Athletes to a friend, what would you tell them?!: If you would like to be a part of a team with not only great athletes and coaches but ones who are fun, friendly, and supportive, join TriStar. My life has only improved since being involved with TriStar Athletes.
