Age grouper of the week

I listen to your show every week and look forward to hearing about "all things Ironman"
I would like to nominate an age grouper of the week. His name is Mark VanAkkeren. He is 27.
Yesterday at Honu 70.3, he won the swim with a 24:09 and kept pace with the pros on the bike with a 2:15 bike split. He ended up going a 4:16, and won his age group by 16 minutes or so. He was the second amateur finisher. I know for sure that before the race he was drinking some coffee from "Coffees of Hawaii"
I can't think of a better guy to receive this distinction. Maybe you can talk him into coming to epic camp this January.
Cheers guys,
Rob

Website of the Week

Kat Walbert sent us through this weeks website. The website is: triathlontube.com
Here’s what they say the website is about: Triathlontube.com collects videos from around the web about triathlon (with a particular focus on Ironman) and related sports, with the goal of providing inspiration, information and entertainment to athletes and spectators around the world. It launched only on May 25th, so please bear with me as I build up the library! And please send advice, feedback, submissions to triathlontube at gmail dot com. Cheers, James.
I love this site because I get a mention on it! Thanks Kat.
 
Coach’s Corner

John and I cover how to get sponsorship as an athlete. We broke it down into six different sections:
1. Who to approach?
2. How to approach them?
3. What can you offer?
4. What you proposal should contain?
5. What to ask for?
6. Maintaining the relationship.

John’s written up a piece on this. It will be up when he gets his new website up.
