ITU World Championships in Gold Coast Australia

Five Practical Coaching athletes along with official Team USA coach Steve Pye traveled to Gold Coast Australia to compete in the ITU World Championships at the Olympic Distance. All five athletes were there to compete in their first World Championship event, and despite their rookie status the Practical Coaching team had some outstanding performances. Steve Pye was well received as the coach for Team USA; leading team bike rides, team runs, and answering the slews of questions that Team USA members had. The week was filled with runs, rides, opening ceremonies, brunches, t-shirt trades and many opportunities to bond with other Team USA members, as well as many international triathletes. The course was stacked with fierce competition and the Practical Coaching athletes all put together very strong and competitive races.
