"Don't Stop Believing" Journey to Ironman: Linda Patch

About

Endurance Nation

I am coached by Endurance Nation. EN has proven to be the most effective, value-filled coaching option I have ever used. I am over the moon about this program, the coaching, and the gains I am making. These smart guys have created a nation of interconnected athletes that motivate, inspire and hold you accountable. It's like 1:1 coaching for a fraction of the price. You won't believe the value for your membership--free ebooks, podcasts, webinars, blogs, videos, white papers--you name it. Check them out. Better yet, join!

Bodywork Revolution

Steve Cunningham of Bodywork Revolution is the central reason why I can get through Ironman training in one piece. No one is as good a bodyworker as Steve. No one. The nuero-stretch class he offers is so good, my teenagers don't miss it! Check it out. He also offers acupuncture, massage, meditation classes, and traditional Chinese medicine.

ATA Cycle

ATA Cycle is nationally-renowned for its quality bikes, and especially for its meticulous fitting process. I bought both my Kuota road bike and time trial rocket from ATA, and both are gorgeous machines that fit perfectly. See my video blog series on the state-of-the-art ATA Fit Lab.

Linda Patch

I am a mom of four with a triathlon obsession! I enjoy competing at any and all distances, and have completed more than 35 triathlons including two Ironman races. My last Ironman was in Panama City Beach, Florida in 2008 where I finished the race with a 1 hour 35 minute PR! I plan to race Ironman again in Florida in 2010. I already feel it can't get here fast enough!

Don't Stop Believing

You Can Get It If You Really Want

The boys chose Jimmy Cliff's "You Can Get It If You Really Want" as the anthem for Ironman '08. Need a lift? Motivation? This will be the best three minutes of your day! Take a listen. "You must try...try and try..."
