    I have only had the pleasure of having Catiana as a coach for about 6 months now. What I can tell you in the short time working with her is I am in a better place mentally and physically than I have been in a few years. As a serious age grouper I just thought the fatigue and injuries was age catching up to me. (racing at age 62 now) I have been doing Triathlons for 17 years now. I have had coaches in the past but Catiana's unique determination to guide me to my goals really stands out. Her workouts are doable and fit my lifestyle, having a achievable goal weather it is daily workout or a big race is very important.

    I have never met anyone more excited about my goals, success and well being. I am once again excited about racing and owe it to Catiana. I know with all my heart that I am in the right place now.
