About 5 years ago I began training with Paul Che on a regular basis. Although I had been competing in triathlons for over 20 years, I had been stuck in the middle of my age group for a long time. My swimming was good, running was ok but cycling was slow. Paul helped me with pedaling technique, shifting properly, conditioning, and race strategy. Within three months I was able to reduce my time over a 40K course by 20 minutes.

Other areas in which Paul was of immense help was in selecting a new time trial bike, fitting the bike, purchasing computer based heart rate system, and making decisions on all accessories like shoes, helmet, etc.

As a result of Paul Che's coaching in cycling, conditioning, and race strategy, I began improving rapidly in triathlon results. I competed in USA Nationals and World Championships for several years in a row, eventually resulting in winning the World Championships in 2006 in Lausanne, Switzerland in my age division.

I have found Paul to be very conscientious, knowledgeable, and hard working. I would recommend his coaching to anyone wishing to improve their cycling and general fitness. You will be amazed at the results in a short time.
