I apologize that I have clearly, though unintentionally and unknowingly, created a post that appears like a scam. For that I am sorry and hope you can accept my apology.
I wrote a book that I am proud of and simply want to share it.
Here's the link to Amazon to prove it's a "real" book.
https://www.amazon.com/Six-Word-Lessons-Successful-Triathletes-Essen...
I did my first triathlon back in 1993 - Vineman. I set my PR of 10:18 at Vineman in 1996. I got a lottery slot for Kona in 2013 and did a 12:16. I've done 9 Ironman races total
(Vineman x2, IM Canada x 5, IM Cozumel, IM Hawaii
).
I own a running store in Kirkland, Wa called Everyday Athlete
(www.KirklandEverydayAthlete.com
)
I am transitioning away from my life in retail to a full time coaching career. My coaching website is LanceCarterCoaching.com.
I've been a coach for Team In Training for 17 years and have coached runners and triathletes since 1996. I began helping out others in 1996 when I was working at Super Jock 'n Jill in Seattle.
My current book came about because I have written a book
(currently in the hands of my editor
) about the lessons that I have learned in training, racing and coaching triathletes and runners and how those lessons transfer over to life. How we can use endurance sports to live more fulfilled lives. In the process of pitching that book to publishers I met with Pacelli Publishing who does a series of books on various topics called "Six-Word Lessons". In that meeting I had the idea of writing a book for their series which is the book referenced here. This has created several new ideas for other books. One is talking to people who've qualified for Kona and putting their tips and lessons together in a book. The other is working with physical therapists on strength training routines, tips on injury prevention, stretching routines and things of this nature that will benefit endurance athletes.
Again, please accept my apology. And if I can be of service to this forum I am happy to do so. If the forum would rather I leave then I am happy to oblige.
