Ryan Murray:
9:16:03 for an 8th
overall finish. 2nd overall age grouper and winner of his age
group. Ryan pulled the race together. He hit the mark in every
discipline. On June 15, Ryan and I discussed the plan. It went
something like this (I think we may have adjusted it slightly).

Ryan
executed a perfect race. Once Ryan reflects, I will be anxious to hear
how he saw his race. As a coach, I could not be more proud.
Ashley Turgeon:
Well, I am
super excited about Ashley. I have watched Ashley grow so much over the
last 2 months. It has truly been a reward to be given the opportunity to
coach Ashley. She has improved massively in both the bike and the
run. Ashley and I met the week of Ironman to go over her race plan.
She simply wanted to improve her time over last year and redeem herself from an
earlier attempt this year. She did that! Ashley went ~65 minutes
faster than her previous time. She biked the bike of her life. She
was so excited when she started her run. At
the 25 mile mark of the run, she had one thing on her mind – fixing her hair
for her finishing photo! She did what she went to Penticton to do.
Ashley finished in a time of 12:42:39.
Watch out
for this young woman as she will be gaining more and more strength over the
next couple of years. I have no doubt that in her next attempt at an Iron Distance
she will be making a huge statement that the clock will reflect and heads will
turn. Super honoured to be working with Ashley.
