Client: Nick Richardson
Coach: Patrick McCrann

1. Town/State: Boston Ma
   
   
2. Training Focus: Whatever my coach tells me ;) Or, racing at a competitive level in half iron and ironman distance events.
   
   
3. A Race: IM USA - LP 2006
   
   
4. #1 Goal: Have fun. Even when you're trying to go under 10 hours it's still has to be about having fun. At the end of the day I wanted to feel like I wouldn't trade places with anybody else out there, and that's true. It's also a goal that anyone can have, regardless of their time, to be the best they can be with the tools that they have, and enjoy that moment while it's happening.
   
   
5. Athletic Accomplishment Most Proud Of: Placid was it, 9:30 and first amateur, 16th overall. I worked so hard, in such a focused manner over the last 2 years to get to this race. I've had other great days, but they were more serendipity than focused determination. Which, by the way, is the only thing that get's you through the last half of the marathon... not serendipity, the other one.
   
   
6. Favorite snack: When training: Peanut butter and banana on toast. When not training: Pretty much the same, but I've also been hitting the ice cream pretty hard, and muffins, and pizza, and beer, and... you get the point.
   
   
7. I'd rather be: Like I said, wouldn't rather be anyone (or anything, or anywhere) else.
