From Rich
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support.  In only two short years I've gone from a newbie tri-coach to having people take their picture with me at the Kona airport!  I can only say it's just friggin' cool.  I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be involved in a very important part of your lives.  It sure beats workin' for the Man.   We will carry that momentum into 2004 by offering a improved line of coaching and endurance training services:
  • Flex Coaching, a new and unique level of coaching service.
  • Quality, affordable training programs for half and full Ironman distance races.
  • Ironman Training Clinics in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Clermont.
  • Ironman Training Camps on the IMNA courses.
  • For elite athletes: The Crucible, SoCal, 350+ miles of cycling in four days.
  • A virtual tri-club for our coached athletes, with national sponsors, informational training emails, message board, and a unique race presence.
  • Quality training articles by the Cf.com coaches and featured Ultrafit coaches.
  • Coaches' training logs, for your education and entertainment.

Good luck in 2004, and let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Cheers,
Rich Strauss
