I am fully healed from my femoral neck stress fracture Yay!
and...
I have a new coach. Yay x2.
After much searching and contemplating ( more like ringing my hands) I found an ideal match for me.
My new coach has his Masters and Doctoral in physical therapy. VERY convenient for the injury prone TGP, don't you agree?? I bet I don't even get a blister now that this is in place. Ha!
He's also a certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. (anything with the word orthopedic in there suits me and my stress-fracture-y bones JUST FINE)
He only takes a hand full of athletes ( good..because I'm high maintenance Ha!)
He's been in the sport of triathlon for 20 years. 13 Ironmans and has qualified for Kona 6 times.
Just maybe.... I'll pull myself together for some sprint/OLY racing by September. We shall see!
He's motivated to get me back to where I want to be: focused, inspired, and hopefully speedy!
Finding a coach who you respect, admire, fully trust and who gives you a plan that is as individual as you are, has to be the foundation for success, no?
Wish me luck!

Yay for PT/MPT/DPT's! And double YAY that you are feeling good and ready to rumble:) Fun times to come! PS agreed on the black car!
Congrats on the change! Sounds like a great fit for you!
AWESOME TGP! Coach/Dr Chris is great. Healed me up several times and while doing so motivated me to train/race harder. It was a shame we (the Northeast) had to loose him to the left coast. But he and his family look great!
All the best in your "return to form".
