Stephanie Cooper also had a solid day, finishing in 2:20:24.

All the ETA Coach athletes who competed in the Half Lite Triathlon used the race as a long workout in preparation for either the Eagleman 70.3 Triathlon or upcoming Ironman races this season.

This weekend was the annual ETA Coach Athlete Appreciation Party at the Irish Mile in Westmont NJ. I’m blessed to have so many hardworking and dedicated athletes. My medical history limits the amount of training I’m able to do, therefore I live vicariously through each one of my athletes every day. Every athlete that I coach I look to transform, inspire, and educate, and although they may not realize it, they do the same for me. Anyone can appreciate their athletes by buying them beer and pizza, but my appreciation level goes a little deeper. It’s great to see their personal records, accomplishments, and wins, but seeing them evolve in the respective sports and enjoying their training day in and day out is what makes me tick. Sometimes it’s hard to call them “ETA Coach athletes,” because they are much more than that to me. Every day of coaching my athletes is a team effort that is fueled by their attention to detail. I love my job and my awesome athletes a.k.a. friends! Thanks for all that you do. - Head Coach Jason Kilderry

1-2012

Christylynn Petersen - Former standout high school lacrosse player, pursuing a MS in biology with a concentration in neurochemistry, mother of three, and 1-year veteran in the sport of triathlon! Christylynn is still very new to the sport of triathlon and has years of PR's and accomplishments yet to come, but it's her dedication to her training that makes her stand out.

After her first season, Christylynn was not satisfied with her performance and immediately wanted to train all the time and as hard as she could in hopes to improve. It was this mentality that drove her to injury, which led her to rethink how to approach her training. When I first started training Christylynn, her competitiveness made it hard to slow her down, but it was a necessity due to injury. Here we are a few months later: no aches, no pains, and her fitness level continues to grow. Her patience and willingness to listen, learn, and provide feedback to me is what brought her back to health and made her ready to take on more training.

2012 is going to be a breakthrough season for Christylynn, and that is due to her perseverance and drive to succeed and train smart. She looks to be competitive in her age group this year and has a long term goal of completing an Ironman in 2014! Keep up the great work, Christylynn!

Maggie Zdziarska Brill - Maggie Brill is not your typical distance runner, although her recent race results beg to differ. In fact, Maggie was a sprinter 14 years ago when she was in college. Times have changed and Maggie is now running a lot farther than 400 meters, doing distances from 5k to the marathon.

Maggie is a personal trainer and the mother of 2 boys, but you can catch her in the early morning putting in the miles before everyone else normally starts their day. Maggie is a pleasure to coach because in every workout I give her, she does her best to stick to every single detail, and if she is off by a second or two she is the first to apologize. Even though that second is not a big deal, she still takes the workouts very seriously. It's this attention to detail that has led to Maggie's recent success. In the past 6 months, Maggie has set a personal record in the 5k running 19:31, in the half marathon running 1:27:28, and in the marathon running 3:08:21.

As Maggie takes a few weeks' break from competitive running, she is unsure what distances she wants to pursue next. One thing is for sure: whatever race she decides to take on, she will attack it with everything she has! Keep up the great work, Maggie!



11-27-2011

Shout out to ETA Coach Assistant Coach Matt Ciociola for coaching the Bishop Eustace Mens Cross Country Team to another successful season. The team ended up winning the Olympic Conference National Division and Non Public "B" State Title for second year in a row. Keep up the great work Matt!

Holly Ann Geldhauser - During the day Holly is an instructional designer, but early in the morning and after work she is a triathlete on a mission! Competing in her third season of triathlon this year, Holly is on a tear to say the least.

Holly is no stranger to competitive athletics. A former Division 3 swimmer at Agnes Scott College and Division 1 rower at Clemson University, she also competed at the elite level in rowing for Vesper rowing club for three years post-college.

Holly's attention to detail, dedication, and competitive spirit has led her to an amazing season so far, and she is not finished! So far she has acquired several overall wins, including the NJ State Triathlon. She placed 2nd amateur female at the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon, qualified for 70.3 Half Ironman World Championships, and acquired enough wins to apply for her Pro Card to compete as a professional triathlete. Believe it or not this is only Holly's third triathlon season! Holly is wrapping up her 2010 season with the 70.3 championships and US Open Triathlon.

With her continued hard work and passion for the sport there is no doubt in my mind that Holly will continue her success in her next two races and in years to come. Keep up the great work Holly!

Amy Pocino Kelly - Amy is a dedicated athlete who juggles training, family, and a full-time job as an attorney. Although I could go on about her accomplishments to date, it's her drive, dedication, and willingness to try something new that makes Amy an amazing athlete. Her schedule this season is peppered with many "firsts," including her first ever marathon, first go at the 4.4 mile Chesapeake Bay Swim, and (of course) her first half Iron-distance triathlon. There is no doubt in our mind that Amy will soon check these races off her "bucket list." Keep up the good work Amy!

Congrats to ETA Coach athlete John Plumley for finishing his first Iron Distance Race at the Beach to Battleship Triathlon! John finished in a time of 13:26:04.Finishing an Ironman is an accomplishment in itself, but for John it was also redemption. A little over a year ago John was in the best shape of his life and 2 weeks out from the 2009 inaugural Ironman Cozumel. Unfortunately, at the same time John had caught a wicked virus that put him down and out for more than a week. Thankfully a few days before his race he felt much better. On race day, ten miles into the bike, John knew the virus he had was not completely gone. John would have to call it a day 9miles later, due to feverish symptoms and severe dehydration. John was very disappointed after all that hard work he put into his training, to have to DNF because of illness.

John continued to train, but nothing too structured. John decided that it was time to settle his score with 140.6 miles 16 weeks out from the 2010 Beach to Battleship Iron Distance Triathlon. Well he did just that, crossing the finish line feeling fantastic. Congrats John on a well deserved finish and well earned redemption!

Lisa Raudenbush. It has only been year since Lisa made her marathon debut at the NJ Marathon. Lisa is one tough cookie! She came to me about 3 months before her first marathon, with little structured training under her belt. 3 months later she crossed the finish line at 5 hours and 20 minutes with a big smile on her face! Now a year later, Lisa found her self back at the starting line of the NJ marathon, where she ran 4 Hours and 35min! A 45min personal record is an accomplishment to be super proud of. Lisa has many other obstacles in her way when it comes to training. She works full time in the city where she commutes each day and has 3 children, although Lisa corrects me in stating, "she has 5 children including her husband and the dog". Lisa is living proof that no matter how busy your life is, you can fit in training and still excel with hard work, dedication, and mental toughness. Keep up the great work Lisa!

We are recognizing Gregory Wilkinson after a stellar 08 triathlon season, followed by a short but productive specific run season in the fall. Gregory finished his triathlon season with 1 overall win at CGI North East Sprint Triathlon, and finished top 10 overall and first in his age group in every race. Although his accomplishments are outstanding, it's his dedication to the sport that should be in the spotlight. Gregory has plenty on his plate and its his time management and sacrifice that should be well noted. Gregory is a full time teacher, pursing a doctorate degree, a swim coach, and would like to try and compete in the professional ranks of triathlon in the future. After a fantastic second season of racing and such a hard work ethic, Gregory has all the tools to achieve his goal. Keep up the great work Greg.
