In the world of Apps and Special Offers, we present . . . cutting through the clutter. We start with the simplicity of the early days of Training Peaks and weave our way through Instagram Ads, Lactate testing, and other crazes and phases. In the end we boil this sport down to something really simple, which we believe can be the difference between true success and/or more mediocrity. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s start right where we’re at.

And be sure to stay tuned after the main podcast for an interview with one of our new coaches. Top 10 Finisher at last year's Ironman Wisconsin, Parker Watt. Bio below.

Email: parker@c26triathlon.com

Coach Parker has been competing in endurance sports since 2014 when a friend convinced him to sign up for the 12.5-mile “Swim Around Key West”. He’s been hooked ever since, completing four Ironmans and over ten 70.3s. In addition to swimming competitively through high school, he also has experience coaching youth swimming.

He got into triathlons as a way to live a physically and mentally healthier lifestyle, and he loves the supportive nature of the tri community. He’s passionate about using his experiences to help others navigate a challenging, but very rewarding, sport.

Coach Parker lives in Salt Lake City, has two dogs, and loves to get out into the mountains to relax and hike in his free time. He also loves to travel and is always researching the next national park, city or beach to visit.
