"I started competing in triathlons in 2004 after deciding that I needed to get back in shape. Though I was mildly successful and really enjoyed the sport, I was very undisciplined in my training. A friend of mine recommended Coach Trent in late 2006, and we started training together in earnest in early 2007. Trent is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the sport (swim, bike, run, nutrition, etc.) and, with his meticulous guidance, I completed two Ironman races (France & Louisville) on my way to qualifying for the 2007 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii and the 2007 70.3 World Championship in Clearwater, Florida. Wow! In 2008, I again qualified for the Ironman Championship in Hawaii and completed the race in 10:17. Trent understands each athlete's strengths and weaknesses and develops a detailed training program that is unique to each person, taking into account family and work commitments. Best of all, Coach Trent ALWAYS has a positive attitude and is very encouraging!"

"I started competing in triathlons in 2005 after running competitively for several years. Being Norwegian and growing up with a short swim season, I learned to swim only to avoid drowning in case I fell from a boat! Despite minimal swimming skill, I did okay in my first triathlon and immediately fell in love with triathlon. Soon, I desired structure for my training and increased time efficiency because more is not always better in triathlon training. A friend recommended Coach Trent for coaching because of his extensive experience and knowledge about triathlon. I quickly learned that Coach Trent is very responsive to your questions and individual preferences and endeavors to take "what works for you" into account. Coach Trent provides me with a training schedule that balances my training preferences and life commitments with the necessary workload. For example, I like to incorporate group running sessions as part of my training, and his schedule allows me do to so. Coach Trent’s training has shown results: I won the 2007 Norwegian Nationals Master’s title in the olympic distance, as well as a team Gold medal. In 2008 and 2009, I won numerous Master’s titles in both duathlons and triathlons. With Coach Trent’s insightful and innovative coaching, I am confident 2010 will be my strongest season yet."
