Client: Andrew Staton
Coach: Patrick McCrann

1. Town, State: Rehoboth Beach, DE for the last 3 years. A great place… but a real bear if your training for IM Switzerland… no hills!!
   
   
2. Training Focus: Ironman Distance Races… to get faster, to perform better, and to further my efforts to inspire others through training and commitment to stay fit and be healthy (I lost 140 pounds in the process of getting ready for IM CDA this past summer).
   
   
3. Your “A” Race for 2006: Ironman Coeur D’Alene, which I could have never finished without the structured program from Patrick… it made the world of a difference to someone who has never been very athletic.
   
   
4. #1 Goal: To inspire others through my athletic endeavors. If just one person is motivated by what I do and my commitment to endurance sports, I feel like I’m on top of the world. Athletically, to become a faster runner… at 177, my body still thinks I’m at 317. I’m training for the Miami Marathon and hope to take 1:30 off of my Marine Corp Marathon time of 5:47.
   
   
5. Athletic Accomplishment You Are Most Proud Of: I have two… finishing the Jingle Bell 10K in 2000 at 280 pounds… and IMCDA. As a fat kid most of my life… I didn’t have the joys of athletics, and to me, every time I finish… is my proudest accomplishment.
   
   
6. Favorite Snack/Food: Piiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t have gotten through the spring without it!
   
   
7. I’d rather be…me. Life is great… great job, great partner, great lifestyle… what could be better than being an Ironman.
