About Lindsay

I was a competitive swimmer from a young age and throughout college. I also ran cross country my last 2 years of college. This perfect blend of formative athletic experience eventually led me to become a formidable triathlon competitor, having done multiple Ironman Triathlons, including two world championships in Kona, and seven marathons. I've also completed multiple 100 milers, including the Umstead 100, Vermont 100, and Rocky Racoon 100 and several 100ks including Black Canyon and Hellgate. I have experience coaching athletes of all levels – from beginner to elite, and for all distances.

Coaching Philosophy

As a full time coach, mom of two, and an active athlete, I understand the demands of finding a work-family-training balance. I work closely with my athletes to ensure their training optimizes their available time – and progress them toward their big dreams. I help athletes with all the integral pieces of preparation – from the physical to the mental parts of training. I hold athletes accountable, with plenty of support, regular correspondence, and training designed specifically for the details of their life and goals. I coach by example with my hard work ethic in both triathlon and ultra-running. I am a cheerleader for my athletes. To ensure the training is meeting the athlete’s needs, I employ data analysis, which allows me to view each athlete’s individual strengths and areas of opportunity.
