I am writing to tell you about a change to TriStars Training.
I purchased TriStars in September of 2016, with lofty goals and visions. As is usual for any business, some of these ideas came to fruition, and some went by the wayside. Owning TriStars has been an amazing adventure! I’ve had loads of fun, and the support from everyone has been amazing.
However, after much soul searching, I have come to the decision that at this point in my life I need to simplify things —especially given the exciting arrival of a grandbaby in July! I have made the decision to sell TriStars Training to my friend and fellow coach Jason Ball. It’s not been an easy choice, but it is the right one for me and my family. Knowing Jason will be taking over gives me a level of comfort that you will be well taken care of, and a great amount of excitement to see where you’ll go, under his direction.
Jason takes the helm May 28, 2018, as we head into the Summer Program. There will be a period of transition as he begins to take over the day-to-day running of TriStars, and as this happens, I will gradually step back. We are both hopeful that this change will be seamless for you, our cherished athletes, and are grateful for your understanding and patience. Jason can now be reached for all coaching and training inquiries at: [email protected]
Please know that TriStars will remain, as always, a club/business that supports and encourages athletes of all levels. Promoting the sport of triathlon to all who wish to give it a try is what sets us apart, and is a core value that will continue under Jason’s guidance.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for being pillars of support; for giving feedback; and for stepping up to assist when asked. I couldn't have made the past couple years work without the assistance of so many wonderful coaches, leaders, and volunteers, and I am beyond grateful for all you have helped me accomplish.
As for me, I will continue to coach running and triathlete clients privately as well as managing my trail and ultra-distance run group the BC Forest Dwellers. I am greatly looking forward to welcoming my new grandbaby into the world and looking forward to having more time to spend with my family.
Thank you again for all your support. I can be reached any time at my new email: [email protected] If you can update your email contact for me that would be greatly appreciated.
