Meet Our Coaches
Marilouise
Marilouise was the first coach for UAR, and once you meet her you will know why we feel fortunate to have her. All our run/walk routes were coordinated and tested by Marilouise….and yes some are a bit long…another Marilouise trait, giving you more than you might want, or think you need! If we could bottle the energy and enthusiasm she has…we could be rich! Despite coordinating all the groups, she still has time to train and she recently qualified to run her second Boston Marathon in 2010!
Jean
Jean is the second part of the dynamic duo that makes our run coaches! She brings the calm back into the picture. The fact that Jean still has time for our groups amazes everyone. She runs often, teaches a difficult strength aerobics class at the Beavercreek Y, has two sons still at home playing sports, and probably attends more soccer games in a month than most people do in a year!! Jean returned to the career world full time in the medical field this year, and is also currently training for her second Boston Marathon in 2010.
Sue
Sue, our walk coach, was the perfect candidate for this position. Yes, like the other two coaches she is sometimes an overachiever….but also like them, she is a warm and caring person. We love the combination! Sue can walk a marathon faster than some can run one, so don’t dare her to go faster…she might just do it! Sue’s gang adds a vibrant energy to UAR!
Nancy
Nancy is a USA Triathlon Level I Certified Coach. She coordinates the indoor and outdoor cycling group. Many times in the summer she motivates the triathletes for a group swim in Caesar’s Creek before the evening ride! Nancy coordinates it all! We have not figured out how Nancy does it all, she has two very involved young men and one very busy husband, oh and a job, but thankfully, she still has time for all our novice to expert cyclists and triathletes. Her energetic personality will get you out on the road and in the water, and before you know it you’ll be a triathlete!
