But is he qualified???
LOL…sorry, I couldn’t resist…
My coach Sean Gilbert coached Sally price to some big time tri and cycling Championships. he can be reached through this bike shops webiste.
The price is right where you want as well. I am very happy with him at any price point.

tell him ray sent ya 
I am looking for online coaching.
I don’t know if he’s taking new clients but I’ve been with John Hirsch for the last 9 months or more and have been really satisfied.
You know at first I thought this Karl Rove dude is something else, but I’ve come to appreciate your posts. Keep it up, your no swimfan mind you, but he may have been the best there ever was, but you are always good for a laugh!
Any of the coaches listed are qualified and will get you to that finish line.

Based on what you’re asking for, I think you should reconsider your price range, as 100 or less a month is unrealistic for a well-qualified coach.
Just consider the following and how much time it will take:
My simple estimate is about 15 hours for the first month, and 10 hours the following month. So I would ask, do you work for $10/hr or less?
I don’t know anyone who is willing to do all that for 100 or less a month, and if they say they are, then they will quickly come to realize the amount of work entailed in the project, and realize they are not getting anything out of it. That is, if they do it well. If they don’t do it well, then I guess you’re getting what you’re paying for.
Just my thoughts…

Just my thoughts…
JimVance, I disagree with this. Mike Plumb coached me for about 1.5 years at $75/month. He knew me pretty darn well and I was faster (short course) than I’ve ever been. #4 on your list, don’t know if Mike does this specifically, but my bet would be yes.
To the OP, Mike Ricci is also an option, but I think his “standard” coaching plan is out of your range. He did have a package that worked for me, and was affordable, and he is GREAT at email/communication.
Trimeon: who was your choice? What did you do???
To All: Wondering…why isnt Carmichael/trainright.com ever mentioned in the “i need a coach” posts? Anyone ever work with them? Pro/Con??? Seems a little pricey for the basic package, IMO.
I would listen to what Jim V said…(and enjoy the posts of Karl)
.
www.ironguides.net is the best AG coaching, in all my years of triathlon.
plus you get all the knowledge of Brett Sutton, Coach of the year, by inside tri. brett has coached so many champions at some point in their career.
you have no idea.
www.teamtbb.com the best ‘keep simple’ forum ever.
the method is simple, easy to follow, no wattage crap to think about. no staring at your naval BS.
