- Testimonial: I've had my two most sucessfull seasons under Daniel's tutaledge. In 2010 I finished second in my age group at the USAT National Age Group, In 2011 I finished third in my age group at the ITU Long Course World Championship. Both of those results are direct result of Daniel and his coaching. He has intuitive sense on how to structure a sucessful season and keep the workouts interesting. He's smart. He's positive. He's responsive and he knows the sport of Triathlon. What more could you ask when looking for a coach?
