Testimonials

"I've been working with Anne on improving my power output.  Her knowledge of watt-based training has increased my CP30 significantly. The training plans that she provided were tailored to improve my weaknesses and improve my overall speed and power."

- Chris Moore,  SC/GA State TT Championship, 1:04:33, No.1 ranked Catagory 5 Time Trialists.

"I used Anne's services as a swim coach. I had never had any lessons previously and found Anne's coaching techniques to be very informative and easy to understand. She was able to tailor technique drills to support my swim style and really help me to understand "why" I was doing certain drills. I am now able to swim harder and faster. I lowered my 100m time from 1:22 to 1:17 over a 5-6 week period thanks to Anne."

- Tommy Bolton, Beach2Battleship Half Ironman 4th Overall 4:37:49

“Anne has continually provided me quality training plans and support for all my sporting goals.  This has included 2 1/2 Ironmans, multiple sprint and Olympic distance triathlons as well as half and full marathons.  This year she is also guiding me through Disney’s Goofy Race and a Half Challenge (half marathon on Saturday and full marathon on Sunday).  Anne continues to help me race stronger, faster and smarter! Thanks for you all your help, guidance and support, Coach Anne!"

"When I decided to race Beach2Battleship 1/2 Ironman this year it was my second attempt at the distance.  Last year I had the goal to finish, but this year I wanted to beat my time from the previous year. Not only did I beat my time by almost 20 minutes, I felt great during the race.  Thanks Anne for helping me with my training plan, educating me how to train in my heart rate zones and teaching me to stay focused during the event.  The advice of taking the run one mile at a time helped me get through the toughest part.   Thank you for helping me to achieve my goal, you are the greatest!"

"I started doing triathlon in 2008 and, so far, have competed in 2 olympics.  I've always been pretty athletic so I thought I knew all there was to know about swimming, biking, and running, but working with Anne has taught me that there are ways to challenge myself while training that not only help me improve but also add some variety and fun to my workouts."

-Ron Krauskopf

"This past year I was heading into the dreaded year 40! So I set my goal at a triathlon…

I had always wanted to try a triathlon but didn’t know how to swim. Growing up in Iowa, I never took any swim lessons and partially afraid of the water. TrySports referred me to Anne Finch, who was able to start with a total beginner and take me through to finish my first triathlon! She also wrote me a training plan for all aspects together and it worked wonderfully! I would highly recommend Anne to anyone who thinks they cannot do it, give it a chance – YOU CAN! "

-Denise Runza

"Mission accomplished! I am so glad I did it and even more glad I trained with you.  I think I'll soak in the glory for a while then onward to prep for the half in February!"

-Laurie Wallace, 2009 Kiawah Island Marathon

"I started in the sport of triathlon as strictly a runner. After my first couple of tris I realized that I loved this sport and wanted to take it to the next level. Anne has improved my run, swim and bike dramatically. Her knowledge of the endurance athlete amazes me. She knows exactly how hard to push me to get me ready for my next event. I feel like I get a lot more out of my workouts then I ever had, and I go into a race knowing that I am going to be able to compete not just finish. She is always there to answer any question I have about a workout or nutrition. I defiantly feel like I am a much better triathlete with Anne."
