Got Your 6 Training

This past weekend was busy for the GY6 team! Coach Benjamin Samuel was the Captain of T1 at Eagleman in Cambridge, MD!
And Amanda Samuel ran with their daughter at the MudGirl 5k obstacle course in Chantilly, VA.

Looking to host a fitness class for a fundraiser?? We got a fitness instructor for that!
Amanda Samuel is a certified group fitness instructor with various specialty certifications such as Pound, Barre and multiple dance formats. For more information, send us an email at [email protected]

Today Coach Benjamin Samuel gets to be a guide for another triathlete. What an honor! Have a great race today!

Coach Benjamin Samuel is doing amazing things with this group of amazing people.

Level up 📈

Shoutout to the coaches taking on the Level II Paratriathlon Specialization Clinic in Hammond, Indiana 👏

These coaches have completed classroom training and will spend the next two days observing and participating in the Dare2tri Injured Military Camp!

So much love and respect for this duo. And they are now peacefully together. ♥️

We are saddened to hear one of our legends and friends, Rick Hoyt, has passed away. It is a loss for the entire triathlon and running community, but we are comforted by knowing Team Hoyt is together once again. Rick along with his father Dick, changed the world’s notion of what is possible. Dick famously said, “Our message is yes you can. You can do anything you want to do as long as you make up your mind you can do it.”

Despite the incredible challenges that came with having cerebral palsy, Rick made up his mind about what was possible and how he could live a more fulfilled life, and in doing so, opened the doors for so many to follow. We are all better for having Rick a part of our lives. The inspiration and legacy he and Team Hoyt leave will continue to build forevermore by those who also chose that they can despite what they face in life. Our condolences and appreciation are with the Hoyt family and friends. We are forever grateful for their sharing Rick and Dick with us.

“I may be disabled but I live a very fulfilling life. And if someone takes the time to get to know me, they will realize that I am no different than anyone else.” – IRONMAN Hall of Famer, Rick Hoyt
