HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Brandon Hontz on earning his USAT PRO card today…placing 3rd in the USAT Elite men NDR Day2.
Brandon played it smart - on a wet, slick bike course and then dropping the on the run with a 15:57 - 5k split- 33 seconds faster than the rest of the elite men’s field.
I started coaching Brandon when he was in 8th grade- 10 years ago!
We set his long-term triathlon development plan through high school and then the plan was to take a 4 year break to race D1 cross country and track.
Covid added another year of eligibility to his college track career so our next phase of his triathlon career was delayed…but SO PROUD of him to realize the first major step in his long-term triathlon development plan- PRO CARD
Our long-term development plan:
Defined goals
Outlined a plan
Regular physiological profile testing
Appropriate training for physiological development
Review and adjust training
Steady progress
Let’s GO2024 ready to race with the BIG BOYS!
