  • Race History: Call it unorthodox, Julian is the “outlier” that proves to our team and coaches that truly anything is possible. He stretched the coaching team to help him complete 12 Ironmans and an Ultraman within a 12 month period. QUITE A FEAT!

  • Our favorite training, camp or racing memory: Julian showed up last minute to surprise our Ironman Lake Placid camp, sporting a creepy unicorn costume that left everyone wondering, “im not sure if Im crazy enough to hang with this group”!

  • Other : Awesome pain cave; Julian gets his work done in a brilliantly setup pain cave featuring the latest tech for wahoo trainers, treadmills and entertainment.

  • ELITE team member

  • Trains by heart rate, power and guts!

"Consistency trumps 'big days'. Continuously making deposits in the fitness bank, as small as they may sometimes seem, will make a big withdrawal on race day that much more manageable. That said, every so often 'life happens' and some course-correction is inevitable - that's where the TriStar coaching approach, backed by science and experience, is guaranteed to make a difference." —Coach Attila Kelemen
