Thats right folks, we have two winners although only one was promised. Why, you may or may not ask? B/c we realize that there are quite a few of you that could use coaching. While we can’t solve all of the worlds coaching problems we feel that we can help more than one.
So the winners are:
Lauren Walker aka Miami79 and Andrew Joyce aka 140.6
Congratulations to both of you. Thank you to all who submitted essays.
I have to admit, this is a great thing to do for two people. Almost makes up for some of SACs’ posts 
M~
The contest was rigged! I should have won.
Big Congrats to both athletes. Best of luck and have fun smashing your old (and newly on the endagered list) PR’s!
I hope you both benefit from doing this good thing.
Will you post the winning essays?
I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that sent their essays.
Brian and I had a lot of fun with the process, and we both enjoyed a lot reading about your goals and aspirations. I wasn’t expecting to see so many people, with such different abilities, applying for our coaching.
I’m pretty sure there were a lot of you that deserved this. But the two winners had very good essays that really impressed me and Brian. And it was just through the essays that we had an idea of the people that were applying were like.
Finally I want to congratulate the two winners, since they’re gonna kick ass like never before :-)))

Congrats to Lauren and Andrew! This is a great thing you guys are doing. Can you keep us updated on their progress? I’d love to hear how they’re doing from time to time.

Klep, we had an agreement not to say that at this stage… 
Wasn’t that for the second week of training?
Miami79 and 140.6, welcome to the desert dude and smartass crew!!!
I’m with you here, Markus, 100%. See my post on the other thread…
Congrats to Miami79 & 140.0 !
And thats awesome that SAC and Brian are doing this pro-bono~
Let the pain begin!
I keep hearing the word “pain” and i’m surprised! Brian and I are not like that at all, we’re both very conscious coaches!
And thank you for the kind words Mr P. and Mr Mucus.
Let the FUN begin! Is this like if you win coaching now, we’ll throw in the ‘food police’ absolutely free? 
These guys will head you in the direction of sure fire goal acheivement!
Rubber side down!
Would you post their essays?
Also, how about posting weekly progress reports. It would be fun to observe this process from start to finish.
Make it an reality ST training/coaching/racing camp. Not too long, but enough to give people a sense of the ups and downs and learning experiences a (coached) athlete goes through.
