What can I say about Terry? I have known her since college, but I had not talked to her in over a
decade. When I made the call to her 2 years ago I was a fat 212 lbs and could not run even 1
mile. This year, over 40lbs lighter, I completed IM Lubbock 70.3 in under 6 hours and I finished
IM Arizona 140.6 to finally become a true Ironman! She was always there to answer my
questions. She made adjustments for me when I was quarantined in a hotel room for weeks.
Adjusted for months of travel overseas and got me through periods when I was injured as well. I
could not have done it without her! Great friend and coach! The journey she led me on changed
my life! Thank you Terry!

Terry is an incredibly knowledgeable coach across all three disciplines.
Her dedication to my personal progress and responsiveness to any bumps
in the road have been instrumental to my success! With Terry, I’m confident
that every day’s training is getting me closer to my goals.

Terry is an awesome triathlon coach! I worked with her for 3.5 years, and over that period I saw significant gains in my swimming, cycling, and running. Terry planned daily workouts for me that were tailored to my specific goals and races. This removed any stress from planning my workout routine and allowed me to focus on the workouts themselves. Terry also helped me work though some race anxiety and helped me develop a fueling plan for races. Working with Terry, I became stronger, faster, and more confident. I'd highly recommend her as a triathlon coach.

Terry has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals as a triathlete who is trying to take it to the next level. I had the privilege of working with Terry during a 16 week program developed specifically for me that was built around my capabilities and availability. What I liked most about Terry is her experience as a triathlete and her high level of engagement throughout the program. Terry's ability to analyze data and spearhead areas of weakness in each individual sport helped me to perform at a higher level. I would recommend Terry from an entry to elite level triathlete and look forward to working with her in the future.

This was my first year with Terry. Her enthusiasm for triathlon and her athleticism are an inspiration. She helped me improve in all 3 disciplines and tapped into my weaknesses, both physical and psychological. Terry taught me to push beyond the limits I set for myself. I have seen gains in my performance and confidence because of her. Terry is an example of how a competitive athlete can still possess sportsmanship and be supportive of fellow athletes. Her own experience as a triathlete and her guidance made this training season rewarding and FUN!

2015 Chips and Salsa 1/2 Marathon

I had the pleasure of having Terry coach me through my first Ironman. I was anxious and nervous since I hadn't done but one triathlon in my life before starting the training plan. I began by overtraining and doing more than what Terry recommended. It was clear to me that she looked at my training very closely because she quickly told me I was overtraining and needed to believe in the plan she gave me (which I then followed diligently). I signed up for Ironman Coeur D'Alene June 28th 2015. Her plan took me through one of the hardest IM's in the country w/ 106 degree weather (100 year high)... There was a high percentage of DNF and even higher with those that did not start the race. Without her coaching and guidance there is NO way I could have done the race as well as I did! I finished strong with energy to spare. Thank you Terry! If I am crazy enough to sign up for another race Terry is my girl :).... One other thing to note is I did a half IM without her guidance and did not do anywhere near as well as I could have (that was a mistake). Best of luck to those of you training!

Nice smile, great eyes, dat booty....... Okay, here's a real testimonial:
In the past ten years I have had many coaches, but Terry was easily the best coach I have ever had. She analyzed my training data and really took the time to make a personalized plan for me in order to be successful. Throughout my training under Terry, I felt the strongest I ever have. She checked in on my every week and if she thought I was more fatigued than I should be she would edit my training plan to give me down time until I recovered. As an athlete that tends to overtrain and end up hurting myself, this was incredibly valuable for me. Terry helped me crush my goals and win my age group at my first ever Half Ironman. I am so grateful for all the time and effort she put into my training.

Terry is a fantastic triathlon coach! Her custom coaching plan is perfectly balanced between the three disciplines, overall fitness, race nutrition and race strategy. She helped me set goals that pushed me, but were attainable, and cheered for me on all along the way. I had my best racing season ever with her coaching!

Terry gives you everything and I mean everything you need to be successful at any distance or sport. She knows exactly how hard to push you without causing injury. She fully assesses your abilities to create a perfect training plan just for you. She is consistent. Most of all she is down to earth and easy to relate to.
