Who’s Ryan?

 

I’m a Kansas City (Olathe suburb on the Kansas side) product, raised in Olathe, and attended KU for college (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!) where I obtained two degrees in engineering. I reside in Olathe now with my wife, 3 kids, 1 dog. 1 hedge hog and 1 cat found abandoned along side the road on a long training ride.

Growing up I played sports here and there.  I wasn’t exactly athletically gifted and although not picked last at kickball, I was next to last usually.  Around 2001 I started running 5k’s up to ½ marathons. I had always worked out with weight training, running and mountain biking since high school football, where I was used more for a tackling dummy at practice than a key contributor on game day. Mountain biking and running lead me to running off-road duathlons and a few mountain bike races in 2002. In 2003 I signed up for an on-road duathlon, not realizing I would need a road bike, which I did not own at the time. I borrowed someone’s steel road bike and placed 2nd in my age group. I was hooked on on-road duathlons and running races while despising swimming. In 2005 I ran my first triathlon and have been racing triathlons ever since overcoming my disdain for the water.

I am a USAT Level 1 Triathlon Coach, IRONMAN University Certified Coach, Masters Swim Instructor.  IRONMAN University Certified Coach Event Team 2018 Chattanooga, Head Coach 2019 Chattanooga.  Event Team Coach 2018 and 2019 IRONMAN Florida.

Key Achievements:

  • 11 x marathon finisher (PR 3:25:17)
  • 14 x Half IRONMAN finisher (PR 5:01:01)
  • 7 x Full IRONMAN finisher (PR 11:48:00)
  • Multiple sprints, Olympic and long course triathlon finishes
  • 2014, 2018, 2019 All World Athlete qualified for IRONMAN events
  • 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 Olympic Distance USAT Age Group National Championship Qualifier
  • 2017 Olympic Distance USAT Age Group National Championship Competitor

 

My coaching philosophy is serving athletes to reach their goal.  First timers, moving up in distance, getting faster times… if you want to take on the challenge or improve from last time, I’m your man!  I also realize that EVERY athlete is time-crunched, but there’s an under serving for athletes that are money-crunched.  Instead of lowering rates and watering down plans and services, I have taken upon myself to condense my knowledge into digestible chunks that are AFFORDABLE whether it be very specific took kits or memberships to cut the fluff and get you what you really need.  I have something for you!
