Steve Barlow
Steve's coaching philosophy is that there is more to success than just a good training plan. An athlete can benefit from everything from sport specific skills, transition planning and practice, to fueling advice, form checkups and mental training exercises. Steve enjoys discussing all aspects of triathlon. He can help you set goals that might be a little outside your current comfort zone, then give you all the tools you need to go and achieve them. He is also a believer in performance through durability. We can't go further or faster if we're always hurt. Let Steve help you develop a prehab and conditioning program to go along with your workouts, so you can gain the benefit of staying healthy and injury free.
Steve started Endurance Sports after a number of years of inactivity following high school sports. What started as a passing interest in commuting to work by bike to lose a few pounds, has evolved into a lifelong passion for performance and a continuing effort to be a student of the sport of Triathlon. That passion has taken Steve through Randonneuring (really long unsupported rides during which stopping for ice cream is encouraged), to Ultra-distance Trail Running (jelly beans seem to be preferred over ice cream here), and finally Triathlon.

Linda McCandless
I entered into triathlon from a sports background. I played 4 successful years of college soccer, and spent time playing competitively after college. I have coached girl’s high school and select soccer. I transitioned into triathlon at the age of 40 to find a new passion: Boy, did I ever!
I started in 2007 in sprint and Olympic distances. I moved quickly into half ironman, and plunged into the full ironman shortly thereafter. I discovered I still had a lot of fight left in these competitive genes. I won a few sprint and distance overall woman races, many age-group wins, top 5 finishes in several 70.3 distances and two top 10 finishes in full ironman distance. I have completed a handful of stand-alone marathons, with two being the Boston Marathon and a 50K.
I have a passion to compete, share my knowledge and more importantly promote the growth of triathlon in my community and beyond! Seeing those around me succeed and achieve is a huge driver to coach. I have a philosophy to “enjoy life to its fullest”! Understanding we have many factors in our life beyond the desire to compete in triathlons. Many of us work full-time jobs, maintain a household, family constraints and participate in this thing called “triathlon” for the fun and camaraderie (that’s my favorite part).

Also, there are many levels of competing: I want to finish, I have a goal of X, improve my health, be a top finisher in my age-group, and on. All those factors are taken into play when choosing training plans and coaching an athlete. I believe everyone has a great story along their personal journey, which makes this even more FUN.
I have earned my USAT Level 1 coaching cert, and have many years of experience in triathlon and sports to share.
