While I&#8217;ve been able to improve on the bike and run, the swim has drug me down.  The grant they approved will enable me to work with a swim-specific coach.  I am confident that their assistance will pay dividends both short and long-term!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had an amazing time with them at TIR in March, and will start my 2020 season with them in Houston.  I had given up doing Half Marathons after the challenges I had.  But after how well TIR went, I decided to try another comfortably uncomfortable experience with them.  It will be a 5K Saturday and a Half Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THANK YOU CATAPULT for everything!  I look forward to the successes from your support in 2019 and to starting the 2020 season in Houston!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am extremely grateful to Catapult.
