Finish Strong Coaching Acquires SelecTRI

2015-12-31T09:47:00.006-08:00

Finish Strong Coaching Acquires SelecTRI Offering More Opportunities

for Youth and Junior Triathletes

Finish Strong Coaching, a premier multisport training organization led by Dana Lyons, is proud to announce its recent acquisition of SelecTRI, a youth and junior triathlon team directed by Mindy Reich, effective January 1, 2016. The acquisition will provide a continuum of training for athletes of all levels from beginners to elite and from age six to adults. Combined forces will provide SelecTRI’s youth and junior team a wider array of coaching experience and guidance. A larger group will also be more appealing to corporate sponsorships which are critical to help offset the expense of traveling for younger elite athlete. This will position SelecTRI to expand and grow to a national prominence in the youth and junior arena.

SelecTRI was the first youth and junior team in The Woodlands awarded the designation of a USA Triathlon (USAT) High Performance Team. High Performance Teams (HPT) play an integral role in the identification, recruitment, development, and age-appropriate competitive preparation of emerging youth elite, junior elite, and U23 athletes. USAT selects teams with the goal of developing well-rounded athletes capable of success at the highest levels of competition and progression within the USAT High Performance Program.

“There’s no question that SelecTRI is one of the premier youth/junior teams in the country. We are excited to build upon Mindy’s legacy by lending additional coaching expertise to further help young athletes reach their goals – whether beginners reaping the benefits of a healthy triathlon lifestyle or youth and junior elites chasing their Olympic dream.” Said Lyons.

Reich, who will be staying on to help with the transition, agrees. “Finish Strong Coaching is a wonderful choice to continue the program. Dana is a dedicated professional coach who has successfully coached hundreds of triathletes of all ages and abilities. The combined coaching resources of Finish Strong Coaching and SelecTRI will greatly benefit our SelecTRI youth.”

The North Face 50 Miler

2015-12-08T09:13:00.001-08:00

Congrats to Finish Strong's Ronnie Delzer who ran The North Face 50 mile race on Saturday, December 5th in San Rafael, California.

Here's a quick race report summary from Ronnie, "Quick recap to today's TNF 50 mile race... Stuck to my plan at the beginning being conservative and letting the lead pack go off the front with the intentions of picking them off the last 15 miles. Wiped out really hard down a rocky dirt trail at mile four running sub 6 pace (not fun). A few more nasty falls between mile 25-28 and then ran scared (not part of the plan) and in quite a bit of pain from 28-35 (wah wah wahhh). I was so disappointed with my splits at that point that I got really angry and ran mad. This was actually very effective as It got me back into the zone (will try this more often). The last 15 miles were executed per my race plan and I was able to catch a few runners. My goal was to finish in less than 7 hours, but I'm happy that I was able to bounce back and finish strong. As a rookie to running hills I learned a ton that will definitely make me a better runner for future races of this caliber. I also left with a much higher pain tolerance smile emoticon. I believe I was 35th overall and official time of 7:32:... Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes over the past few days."

Congrats to Finish Strong Coach Chantal Requier who got 3rd place in Masters at the Terra Cylco-cross race at Terramount Park on Saturday, November 21. Chantal reports, "I rode 4 loops in very wet conditions. At times in ankle deep mud. It was on of the most challenging 60 minutes of riding I’ve ever done. My average HR was in the 170’s. I did however get a free mud body mask."
