Rob and Kimm started coaching with Athletic Mentors this spring as fairly new athletes to the sport of triathlon. After a few months of dedicated training they have both shown huge improvements. Taking 11 minutes off her 2011 time, Kimm placed 3rd in her age group this past weekend at the Tri for Life triathlon at Otter Lake. This is the second weekend in a row that Kimm has gone home with a medal. At the Tri for Life triathlon she recorded the 2nd fastest overall female time on the bike. Hubby Rob, has been tearing it up as well with a matching 3rd place medal and earlier this summer, finishing his first half iron at the Grand Rapids Tri.

Congrats Kimm and Rob! Keep up the hard work!
