About Alyssa

I have over 18 years experience as an endurance sports athlete, and have been coaching with Biscay Coaching since 2013. In my triathlon career, I finished 37 iron-distance races, including 7 top-five finishes in the Professional field. I have completed over 50 marathons, ultramarathons and multi-day trail races, as well as several orienteering events, swim-runs, and Adventure Races ranging from 9 hours to 5 days.

I also hold the Female Supported FKTs for Vermont's Long Trail, Adirondack 46 High Peaks, and NH48 High Peaks.

Coaching Philosophy

I work with dedicated athletes of all abilities who have goals and the willingness to put forth consistent effort to work towards them. That hard work is the root of the program: there is no magic formula!

I don't believe in short cuts; rather, I think that success comes from focusing on the long game, and layering the basics of good communication, consistent effort, and caring for the athlete as a person - season after season.
