Athlete Profile: Russ Antonacci

Ironman Arizona, November 2008

Russ completed his first Ironman in style with an outstanding time for any triathlete. I had been working with Russ for 4 months before his big race. We focused on training, nutrition and putting it all together for race day. Russ & I discussed in depth all of the logistics of such a large race and this helped him reach his goal.

Here is a note from Russ

Kelli,
Thanks. It was an amazing experience. Thank you for your help. I almost fell over when I got out of the water and looked at my watch. The adrenaline of the race and the pace of the field pushed me. It’s nothing like training alone on a cold October morning in CT. Thanks again for your time. Having access to someone with experience and knowledge made the difference for me.
