THE <strong>2009</strong> XTC SURVEY<br />
Recently, we ran a survey and asked all members to participate. If you didn‘t, please remember that you can provide<br />
feedback to club anytime, via email or by speaking to the committee, but for now, we though we‘d share some of the<br />
positive things you all had to say about our coaches.<br />
Simon Knowles<br />
I really enjoy it when we get the theory ie. what is the overview of the session, why<br />
are we doing certain excercises and why they improve technique or fitness.<br />
Like the varied swim sets that are challenging but achievable. Offers good input into<br />
stroke technique etc.<br />
This is the only main session that I have been involved in and I really like the way it<br />
pushes me past what I would do on my own. Lots of triathlete coaches seem to only<br />
prescribe the longer freestyle only sessions, so I like Simon's mix up of things and the sprint elements.<br />
Anthony DeCastella<br />
Couldn't be better. Anthony is passionate about what he does and goes way beyond<br />
the extra mile. Don't let him go!<br />
Always brilliant - we are incredibly lucky to have Anthony!<br />
Love this session and feel that I get really good theory and individual advice. I really<br />
improve when I make it to this session consistently. Nice that a team feeling is cultivated.<br />
Love it!! Anthony is fantastic. he seems to be able to provide individual coaching and<br />
attention to the entire group. Wouldn't miss a Tuesday run session.<br />
Really liking the full week info emails from Anthony. Haven't been able to attend many sessions lately so emails<br />
provide good inspiration for runs near home (secret training)..<br />
Anthony does an excellent job of making sure he gets to talk to as many people as possible at each session and<br />
making people feel welcome which is great.<br />
Anthony's squads are the best, he is just an inspirational trainer. I like the people who come along and how you<br />
really can push yourself and get results. Anthony is incredibly encouraging and passionate about running. That is<br />
why I try and come along every Tuesday.<br />
Nathan McAvaney<br />
I like Nathan's easy rapport with the group. He is very welcoming and provides a positive group environment.<br />
I love this session as i enjoy doing all three things at once.<br />
These are great sessions, it is still tough to replicate proper riding but the emphasis on effort then recovery is<br />
helpful.<br />
Great!<br />
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR—NOMINATIONS<br />
We‘ve picked out some—okay a lot—of the nominations you all sent in this year. The wide ranging level of recognition<br />
reflected in the comments shows how high the standards of nomination have become—and also that merely being fast<br />
isn‘t necessarily what gets noticed. Thank you to everyone who voted for our annual awards, and provided the comments<br />
below—the positive and encouraging feedback to so many people is evidence of why so many of us have arrived<br />
and then stayed at XTC.<br />
Susan O‘Keefe<br />
Susan. Why? Because she qualified for Worlds, which means she kicked bottom.<br />
Adrian Mercuri<br />
Why? He used to reliable ... to come out of the swim leg after me. But since he started training I need a new slacker to<br />
beat out of the water…
