Athlete: Beth Gibbs

Coach Tim Comments on Beth:

"Never say die" is the best way to describe Beth. During spin class in an all out effort, Beth spins so hard, she moves her complete bike and trainer 3 feet!!! The girl know's how to work hard. She is commitment to her goals and she is very precise with her training. She is a dream come true for any coach. If Beth has a 100-mile ride and a 20-mile run scheduled, she is going to complete it. She does her homework. This year she will become an Ironman, Exterra athlete, and a faster runner.

Keep up the hard work Beth.


Beth's Comments on Coach Tim:

When I hired Tim to be my triathlon coach almost a year ago, I gave him a tall order - make me faster! Well...under his tutelage, I was able to shave off 29 minutes at Timex (Olympic) versus a similar course the previous year and shave off 30 minutes at SOMA (Half Ironman), improving in all three disciplines. How did I get faster? Tim designed a custom training program, which fit around my busy work schedule, took into account my fitness level and goals, and targeted my weak areas. His weekly spin classes and track workouts have made me a stronger cyclist and runner. He's been a cheerleader, a motivator, and a patient coach. During races, he will cheer you on until he's hoarse. He's pushed me beyond what I believed I was capable of. He's patiently worked with me to improve my running. I didn't come with a lot of running talent, but he's given me a few tips and worked on my form, and bit-by-bit I've gotten faster. These attributes combined have made me a better triathlete. And to top it all off, Tim has made my workouts fun! I love training! I love racing!
