Malone Coaching

Tanner Johnson is taking on "The Longest Day" race as I type this. How far will he go? No one knows, but I can guess it will be far since he is focused and dialed in! From baseball to Ultra running this guy does it all and does it well!

With so many fun races going on and athletes traveling all over I sometimes don't even know where to start but this week it is easy! Jessica Jones and Caitlin Abdullah are a mother daughter duo racing Happy Valley 70.3 in PA tomorrow. Team member Christy Kunkle will be joining them too.

Jessica started coaching last year after Caitlin did her first Ironman and she was inspired to get back into racing. Now they get to race together and compare notes on the course. What I can tell you from experience is that both of these ladies know how to work hard and they have some serious power on the bike. It will be fun to see them race each other on the course!

Christy did her last Ironman maybe 15 years ago before persistent knee pain took her out of the sport, but now with a new set of knees she is back in action. Her strength has come back and she is riding better than she has in years. She also has a 3 year old son to chase around so it is important that she stays fit and mobile! Seeing her transformation as an athlete has been inspiring and is a good reminder that where there is a will there is a way!
