Here’s a short story about .tc
Not only is Tom an incredible Athlete… he's a genuinely awesome human being
When he joined the Performance Pathway, he joined with goals that would scare the s**t out of most people…
But he knew to achieve those goals, he wanted the right team around him
Not just a cheerleading squad.. but a group of coaches that would call him out when needed, push him when he felt he had found his limits and enable his performance
He said one thing to me when he joined…
‘I don’t want to say what if’
So we rehearsed every part of his fuelling strategy, pushing his intake towards true performance nutrition markers over time
We focused on consistent fuelling at higher levels to ensure his performance didn’t drop off..
And it didn’t
During the build up to the first race of the season, Toms performance went from strength to strength
The strategies we built together stood up to stress testing over long durations and gave us the confidence that going into Ironman Mallorca no stone was left unturned
He nailed his strategy for the race and felt like he could go again the next day…
All whilst lip singing country music and encouraging other people to take on goals like this..
Yes ridiculous levels of performance was the goal for Tom..
But he also wanted to live life and be present with his Son as much as possible..
Anyone whose seen Toms IG knows the type of man he is
I’m immensely grateful to be a part of Toms coaching team and this is just the first race of the season
It’s not like he did a Backyard Ultra 6 days after completing this 👀👀 oh wait.. he did.. and also crushed that..,
But that’s a story for another time
Incredible effort Tom, onto the next one🏴☠️
