Fastest you've ever gone downhill on a bike and how it made you feel

I don't remember how fast, but I remember where I was.  I was scared and excited at the same time.

More about me

I am participating in IM Canada this year for my chow chow  Kuba who passed away on May 7th.  My husband put Kuba's picture on my bike stem and I am happier on the bike. 

What, if anything, do you like about Kirk's Coaching?

Kirk’s coaching has made some big changes in my performance and for the first time I am training injury free.  He has taught me about zone training and personalizing my schedule.  He really seems to care about his clients and is always available.  I have steered away from long distance coaching in the past, but he has completely changed my view on that.  Kirk is definitely one of the best triathlon coaches out there.
