TESTIMONIAL
"I worked with Amanda for nearly 2 years to improve my nutrition and also train for my first two triathlons (among other running races). She is extremely passionate and works with you to not only understand and improve your nutrition, but also to understand how strength training, sleep, recovery, and alcohol consumption all contribute to your performance. Without Amanda's patience and encouragement in my training for the triathlons, I would almost certainly have not started, but she kindly met me where I was, stubbornly avoiding swimming, then avoiding open water swimming, and encouraged me to start. This support got me to the finish of both a sprint and an Olympic distance tri faster than I thought possible."
EVENT RECAP
Event: Columbia River Olympic Triathlon
Event Type: Olympic Triathlon
"This was my first Olympic distance triathlon and only my second triathlon! Amanda was (again) instrumental in successfully completing this race. We spent a lot of time building my confidence in my ability to execute, and she gave me a last minute gear rec when I wasn't sure what the run aid stations would look like. She also developed fueling targets that left me feeling great the entire race, and tweaked my carb load from feedback on my previous race, where I was so full on race morning. I truly don't think I would have been able to complete a triathlon feeling so good during, and so good one day post race, without her support and guidance. Before Amanda, I thought: ah yes, night before I'll eat some pasta to "carb load." Now I know that's completely inadequate. She's gotten me hooked on triathlon!"
EVENT RECAP
Event: Hayden Sprint Triathlon
Event Type: Triathlon
"This was my first triathlon, so I learned so much from Amanda in the 7 months of preparation for it. I went from being exhausted swimming one pool length in February to confidently swimming the full 750m course in a time I thought was impossible for me, and then following that up with a solid bike and run! Amanda has been so critical to my success. She's so much more than a nutrition coach, especially as I jumped into a new sport while navigating a big career change. She is so supportive and compassionate, but also gives me tough love when I need it, like when I spent four weeks telling her I was definitely going to the pool that week. She knows what you need in any scenario. Amanda is an invaluable coach. She's the reason I stood on the start line confident in my training, fueling strategy, carb load, and transitions. I finished the triathlon so proud of how far I've come!"
