Patti Harden - All-State Head Coach




Kevin Dolan - Howard County

 

Kevin Dolan has been coaching for Team in Training since 2005. He started with the marathon teams and in 2007 branched out to work with the Triathlon teams also.

Kevin's athletic background includes 30 years of running, cycling and triathlon racing.

Currently he has  completed 17 marathons or ultra marathons  including four Boston Marathons  and the 1983 Triathlon World Championships and two Ironman Triathlons finishes to his credit. In 2006 was listed as a USA Triathlon's Age group All American. One of the most unique events he participated in was setting a Guinness World Record with the Baltimore Road Runners Club.  100 people running 1 mile each in a relay on the Towson University Track in 1982.

He believes the cross training that triathlon provides lends itself to reduced injuries and a healthy lifestyle. Kevin began coaching with the Team in Training after learning of the program and meeting the some of the athletes while doing clinics for the TNT triathlon teams. As he says "The greatest satisfaction of working with Team in Training is getting to meet and work with new athletes who are just learning of their potential. Many people come to Team in Training with a goal to complete an endurance event in honor of someone who is battling Leukemia or Lymphoma. The participant may not be sure they will actually be able to complete the event, but to see their joy when they cross the finish line is priceless." Kevin coaches running in the Baltimore County area and Triathlon in the Howard County areas for Team in Training.

Chris Lewis - Baltimore Area Coach



     I did my first event, The Disney Tri, with Team in Training in 2003, and was hooked! I continued as a participant for the next three years, and in 2006 joined on as a coach.  I actually started my racing career started in the early nineties with mountain biking, and completed 1^st marathon (Marine Corps.) in 1995.  I started doing triathlons in 2002, and since then have completed countless sprint and international distance races as well as 7 half Ironmans, and 3 Ironmans.  I love coaching for TNT because it allows me to share my love and knowledge of triathlons with ?the newbies? in such a fun and rewarding atmosphere.   I get so excited every year when I stand at the finish line and see the look on my athletes? faces as they accomplish something they never thought they could achieve.  I know through a little hard work, and a lot of determination, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
