PEAKS COACHING - Key Persons
Dan P -- Sarah is a great coach, and a great friend. She has pushed me hard when I'm all in, and pulled back the right amount when family time is the priority. I always get plenty of feedback from my workouts, and like that it's all data driven. Her cycling workouts are fantastic, and consistently push just the right amount. She is really dedicated, and always up for a solid hammer fest when it's not too cold outside. I would highly recommend her coaching.

Gordy's coaching has been the key that has enabled my transition from a strong athlete and contender to a regular winner in both the Wisconsin Cycling Association Masters 1/2/3 Racing series and the WISPORT Racing series. I've always been able to train hard; with Gordy's coaching techniques, I can now train smart. His extensive knowledge of advanced training techniques using power meters and his ability to communicate in layman's terms have opened up a new world of possibilities. His coaching has made me stronger and faster overall through off-season and maintenance training regimens. Additionally, he has consistently guided me to optimum performances at key events through his power-based peaking techniques. Gordy's influence, however, is reflected in more than just the numbers. He has demonstrated an exceptional ability to keep me motivated during a serious back injury and helped me gain confidence in myself, which has provided a significant sociological advantage. Our discussions about race tactics have also yielded tangible results. This is particularly commendable because we are often competitors in the same races. I have long respected his remarkably fierce competitiveness during a race and his equally remarkable willingness to share his knowledge and experience before and after.
Kim M -- Sarah has been my coach for 4 years and has gotten me to the finish line of numerous races including my first Ironman in 2017. She is the perfect combination of tough and compassionate. She knows how to push you and encourage you at the same time. She always knows exactly what to say to get me through the rough patches. She also stresses the importance of race/life balance and has been there for my non triathlon accomplishments as well. It is an absolute joy having her as a coach.
Laura P -- Sarah is the type of coach who is there 110% with her athletes through their journey. She always challenges me (pushing me to go beyond what I even thought was possible) but also helps me find a way to balance everything else in my life (like having a 10 month old son and running my own business). Her training played a huge role in completing my first Ironman. My day did not go according to plan, and I was convinced I would not make the time cut off. I kept waiting for fatigue to set in and my pace to slow, but it never did. I felt strong the whole day. I could see how key workouts transformed my experience on race day. Even with everything that went wrong, I finished with 30 minutes to spare.
