Alessio Rispoli - Sport Performance Coach

a week later !
10km swim + 420km bike + 84,4km run during 3 days, this is my first experience in a race like this. I’ve never thought to do it as athlete but this time I had the privilege to coach and support as crew chief one of my athletes.
Yes, because in this race the support crew is mandatory and today I can say it’s fundamental.
registered for this race on last December and despite not having experience in triathlon at all, the organizers decided to grant the possibility to race. He ran few ultramarathon and that’s his background but nothing to do with swimming and cycling.
He reached me out few months later and started to work together in March, saying “ I have to do this race but I can’t swim”.
He joined and I started to coach him since then.
Well, we really needed a mix of art and science as I like to arrive ready at this appointment.
We set a couple of goals and we worked for it, really hard and really smart.
In the end of the 3 days, after 27 hours 58 minutes and 26 seconds Evren finished the race in 4th overall position, achieving both goals we set.
Next stop in Hawaii !!
Thank you to the organizers, race director, Sebastien for pacing him during the double marathon,
and everyone for the support during this crazy adventure.

I know I shouldn’t fiddling with the phone while riding my , but the ride was too enjoyable and couldn’t resist to catch some moments with my camera.

Triathlon is an individual sport of course, you are alone out there suffering for hours.
Nobody else can do your job , nobody else
to pass the ball or that can replace you at some point of the game and nobody else can feel your pain. But if you share all this with a real TEAM, with amazing teammates , at the end of the day you feel better and you look forward to do it again!
And you always win!
