Coaches for 2007

Okay, so Ironman is literally almost a whole year away, and already all these people who have signed up have already decided on who their coach is going to be.... and for some of them it's not my husband. I don't know why it bothers me that someone would switch from him to the "it guy" just because everyone is using him right now. I know of a couple of people for sure who have been coached by my husband, and they both said the coaching was great, both had great races - yet they're not using him again. I don't get it. I shouldn't care, I really shouldn't. I guess the reason it bothers me is because I feel like we do a lot of stuff for certain people... and they should give back. Coaching is a two way street. If I even hear for a second that they weren't "pushed" or something like that, I'll lose it!

Okay, I just had to get that off my chest. Whew. I feel better. I get a little bothered because I think it hurts my husband's feelings, and he'd never say it does... so, I guess I just feel for him. He most likely wouldn't even take on all these clients anyways, he's got a full time job and he's training for his own race so it's not like he would have the time to do it right anyways. I just don't like the thought of him not being the "go-to" coach for Ironman stuff, because he's a stud. He's proven that he knows how to train for this distance and qualify for Hawaii.... and he's gotten tons of people across the finish line - and have had some qualify for Hawaii themselves. So, he's accomplished.

That's my deal.
