THE COACHES
Dave McGovern has represented the US National Track & Field Team and the US National Racewalk Team extensively overseas, earning berths on 18 US International teams including two USA vs Great Britain and USA vs USSR track meets, the World University Games, and six World Cup and six Pan Am Cup competitions. In his 22+ year career Dave won 14 National Championships and was the 3rd fastest 20k walker in US history. Dave has coached the National Teams of Fiji, and Ghana, West Africa, and was one of the two Team USA coaches for the 2008 World Cup in Cheboksary Russia. Dave, who holds a masters degree in sport science/coaching from the United States Sports Academy, also coaches many US and Canadian National Masters Champions and record holders, and several Olympic hopefuls. He is the author of Precision Walking, The Complete Guide to Racewalking Technique and Training, and The Complete Guide to Marathon Walking. Although far better known as a racewalker and racewalk coach, Dave competed in the first-ever St. Croix Triathlon in 1985, and for the past decade has coached many injured Ironman and Half-Ironman triathletes to walk the run portion of their events. Dave knows the National Training Center inside and out, taking part in US National Team training camps, and conducting his on "World Class Racewalking" camps at the facility since 2003.
John McGovern, USA Triathlon's Overall Duathlete of the Year for 2004 and 2005, has been competing in triathlons since 1986 and has been a student of the sport since the days before aero bars, strapless pedals and carbon fiber bicycles. During the past 23 years, many trends have come and gone, and John has tried them all. John knows what to do and what not to do to qualify for Ironman Kona, win National Championships and place on the age-group podium at World Championships. At 45, John continues to finish on the podium, having won the overall title in seven triathlons in 2009 and placing third overall at the venerable Tupper Lake Half-Ironman, recording the fastest bicycle split of 2:16:43. John's quest for knowledge recently led him to Sweden where he spent two weeks training with and learning from Jonas Colting, Clas Bjorling and Bjorn Andersson as they cycled, ran and swam the entire length of Sweden, south to north. The creator of the American Zofingen ultra-distance duathlon, now in its 6th year, John is also the founder of Catskill Mountain Multisport, a full- service triathlon shop and authorized Cervelo dealer in New Paltz, NY, where he provides F.I.S.T. certified bike fits. Let John help you formulate and achieve your goals for 2010 and beyond. Summer races are won in the winter.
