It is with great pleasure and pride that I introduce the newest coach to Breakthrough Performance Coaching. Vince Miserandino, aka Coach Miz, has been an absolute pleasure to have on the team as an athlete. For those of you that already know him, I don’t have to tell you that his enthusiasm is infectious. He is a gifted athlete that has some incredible accomplishments to his credit. He is a multi-time Ironman and PR’ed by over an hour at this distance in Lake Placid this past summer. He apparently can also excel at the shorter stuff, as he was the 1^st amateur at the Pumpkinman Sprint Triathlon this past September.

Coach Miz on the run at IMLP!

Coach Miz has an exceptional knowledge base and is currently the Chair of the Physical Education Department at St. John’s Preparatory School. He has a master’s degree in physical education, is a certified strength and conditioning coach, crossfit coach, spin instructor, and the list goes on…

I know that Vin will compliment me and challenge me to become a better coach. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to have him as a fellow coach, teammate, and friend!

Race season may be winding for most of us, but there are still some teammates plugging away for 6+hours on the Computrainer preparing for upcoming Ironman races. Barrett Simms will be competing in Ironman Arizona on 21 November 2010. The thought of sitting on a Computrainer for 6+ hours makes me nauseous, but for Barrett it is just another workout! You can track him online at the Ironmanlive website on race day (his bib number is 754).

Don’t forget to check the website for upcoming events and feel free to propose some other events that interest you… After all, it is your team!

Stay tuned for information about a holiday “social” and mark your calendars for the screening of IMWC on 18 December 2010 at 4:00pm. We are still working on a viewing location…
