Paul has been a triathlon coach with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training program since 2005. He’s guided hundreds of triathletes of all levels across the finish line, and is responsible for building the Los Angeles chapter’s Ironteam from a small group of nine budding Ironmen to a huge team of more than 70 Ironman finishers in the 2009 season.
Paul also coaches privately and had more than 50 triathletes of varying levels and experience break the finishing tape of the Ironman in 2009. I’ve proven to be his biggest challenge yet.
As an athlete Paul is an accomplished cyclist and triathlete and has qualified for the USAT National Competition at the Olympic distance and is currently a member of PowerBar’s Team Elite.
Todd has been a coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training program since 2006. After begining his coaching career with the marathon team Todd made the move to triathlon coaching in 2007 - the year that he and coach Tim Petlin successfully got myself and more than 60 other triathletes across the finish lines at the Malibu Triathlon and the Pacific Grove Triathlon.
Todd took a break from coaching in the second half of 2008 to pursue his own athletic dream - the Ironman. He completed Ironman Florida on November 1, 2008, with a finishing time of 10:54:58.
He returned to coaching in 2009, taking on the challenges of another Team In Training team as well as the task of helping me realize my own Ironman dream.
