Patrick completed his first sprint triathlon in the summer of 1999 while on break from the Peace Corps. With no wetsuit, riding his brother's bike and wearing little more than a very obscene Speedo, Patrick simultaneously offended hundreds of spectators and discovered a new sporting passion. As returning to Central Asia put a kink in his triathlon training plans, Patrick had to wait until 2002 and graduate school to complete his first Ironman. Patrick has since transformed his interest in triathlon from a part-time endeavor into a full-fledged coaching enterprise known as Performance Training Systems (PTS).

Patrick lives and trains in Boston where:
- He spends most of his time riding with his Ergomo powermeter; drafting new killer workouts to push his clients' fitness to the next level.
- He has coached over 100 athletes to the Ironman finishline, including the World Champs in Hawaii. His writings and blogging on triathlon, training and the endurance lifestyle have appeared on eTips, Xtri.com, TransitionTimes, Active.com and in Inside Tri magazine.
- He has competed in ten Ironman races, from Klagenfurt to Kona, from a low of 11:44 to his personal best of 10:01.
- He has been known to pull the occasional practical joke on training partner or two (or three or four).
"Really, without coaches like you, it is much harder to overcome limitations. Thank you, thank you."
As an age-group athlete who works full-time (running PTS) and has a wonderful wife, Patrick is acutely aware of the time demands on his fellow age-groupers.
An advocate for planning and training smart, Patrick is most proud of his ability to develop effective, time-saving training protocols for athletes that help them achieve their triathlon goals.
"You are not limited by fitness, lifestyle or equipment. Your biggest limiter is the belief in your own potential." - Coach Patrick
The quest to go from average Joe/Jane to being an Ironman finisher is not an easy path. I have seen and helped countless athletes on this journey, and I have heard all of the excuses. From my experience, the most successful athletes are those who make the most out of what they have and where they are. As an athlete who has lowered my weight to 185 (from 205), has dropped my IM time from 11:44 (to 10:08), has cut my Ironman marathon time to 3:21 (from 4:02), I have developed extensive knowledge on what does--and doesn't work- for the age group athlete. As part-coach, part-training partner, and part-clown, I have spent the last four years helping athletes take their game to the next level.
