About Coach Shawn: I have been coaching triathlon, cycling, and running in the Northeast Ohio area since 2012. In those years, I have helped athletes reach their goals in every distance of triathlon, including most run race distances of 50 miles and below, as well as a significant number of cycling races. Personally, I began my cycling career in 2010, racing criteriums and road races. Ultimately, I ended up switching to triathlon and experimenting within each of its disciplines separately. Since then, I've completed a myriad of different races, ranging from Ironman to 24-hour cycling events, 50-mile runs, and 5Ks. I've pretty well covered the gamut in the sports that I coach and train in, and am always looking for new ways to challenge myself and work to learn something new every single day.
