A few weeks ago Tami Duquette of the local Leukimia Society Tema in Training asked me if I would be interested in coaching their new triathlon program in preparation for St Anthony's in 2004. I thought about it a couple days before answering. I am not a coach, and I am the first to admit it. I know how I need to train, but helping others is a different matter altogether. Just the same, I have nothing else going on in my life right now so she sold me on the idea. It seems like a good way to help sopme people discover the sport and give something back. Also, my friend Michael R.Rabe, who died in a cycling accident on May 2, 2003, would have done the same thing. He was always helping out others get into the sport. So now, with him gone, its my turn to try. For all you TNTers out there: Any suggestions? I know, I used to be a semi-anti TNT person. But hey, its for a good cause and I owe this sport something in return. Also, it's what Rabe would have done... Let me know your suggestions. Training starts November 20 (while I am gone in Thailand for Laguna Phuket).
