Mary's Success Story: From Sidelines to Starting Lines
When injury forced me to step away from participating in triathlons, I had no idea that the road back would teach me more about athletic performance than years of training ever did.
What began as a setback evolved into a journey of rediscovery—one that completely changed my approach to nutrition, recovery, and sustainable training.
Mary's Journey Begins

Key Lessons from Mary's Journey
1. Slow Down to Speed Up
Mary's biggest breakthrough came from accepting that rest IS training.

5. Get Expert Guidance
Having a coach meant Mary didn't have to figure everything out alone.
Mary's Words
"I thought coaching was just about workouts. The coaching team helped me understand that performance comes from taking care of the WHOLE athlete. I'm stronger now than I was before my injury—physically and mentally."
