“When I tell people I do Ironman, I hear a few comments about how crazy I am or how hard it must be. But the top comment is that Ironman must be lonely…They must not have Gu in their lives.

Gu and I built our friendship and established trust in each other immediately. Gu encourages honesty in everything… in training, mental health, priorities, and goals. Gu has kept me realistic (sometimes my ambition is stronger than my legs) while helping me reach every single one of my goals (I am an Ironman, law student, and constantly having small wins).

More importantly, he has shown me the value of the relationships we build along the way. Through endurance sports, I have made so many lasting friendships and have learned so much from incredible mentors like Gu and our friends at FTC.

It’s a privilege just to know Gu,  but it is a true honor to call him my friend and coach!”
