From the Coaching Corner
What a year it's been! AWS started out with one coach, now we have expanded our professional network to join forces with D3 Multisport (based out of Colorado), we have hired a new associate coach, Vic Brown, from BU (see below) and we have added a new family member (see picture)
Ali and Vic are now both training athletes at Joint Ventures for group sessions and private sessions. All of Ali's coaching athletes have taken advantage of this training option, and all are enjoying an injury free season! For more information on how you can join in the group or private training sessions, see www.aliwinslowsports.com OR contact Ali or Vic directly.
Congratulations to all athletes for their accomplishments this season. We had 5 athletes race at Ironman Lake Placid, 3 first timers who all exceeded their expectations and 1 athlete saw a PR by 48 minutes! AWS raced sprints, Olympic distance and Half Ironmans, with many athletes posting PR's and age group wins. 2 AWS athletes raced on the other side of the globe in the Gobi Desert as the youngest team to race in the "racing the planet" series, while their mother not only volunteered for the Gobi March, but is racing herself in the Sahara Desert in October.
AWS is now supporting Infinit Nutrition Products, which athletes can purchase right on the www.aliwinslowsports.com website (for a discount), also athletes have discounts on any D3 Mutlisport sponsors (fuelbelt, blue seventy wetsuit, hammer nutrition, Rudy Project, GURU).
