Russell

Second in her age group at Ironman Port Macquarie. Qualified for the World Championship. Training less than before.

First Ironman in 23 years
Even-paced marathon at 5:30–5:40 /km in the worst weather
Goal at sign-up: get back to Ironman level, maybe qualify for Worlds. Both done.

I've executed my swim and ride, I've executed my training for 18 months, and now I'm getting to reap the reward of all the compromise, the dedication, and here it is, it's coming to fruition right now, and I'm seeing the value of having a coach-athlete relationship.

Look, I am rapt with today, but I am rapt with our relationship over the five or six years we've been working together. There isn't a sport that you haven't coached me to where I haven't been successful at. And here I am telling you that I wanted to be a runner, and all of a sudden I'm now feeling so confident in my running ability, I cannot wait to do this marathon. And I'm super excited. Everything you told me that was going to happen, happened. You prepared me the right way. The training was unbelievably accurate. Even your race strategy and race plan.
