Margo Pitts loves to coach and enjoys motivating others to reach their true potential.  She believes that anything is possible with training, dedication, effort and commitment. 

Be Strong

Margo is a strong advocate of exercise and fitness, which are powerful tools for building character, confidence  and connections.  A running injury in 1998 opened her eyes to the challenges and possibilities of Triathlon. It was a slow, painful start as a novice that developed into a tremendous passion for the sport. To her being strong means mental toughness, overcoming adversity and effective training.

 

Be Fast

Over the last 21 years Margo has competed in a diverse set of race experiences across numerous competitive environments.  From 5K’s to marathons to on-road triathlons to off-road Xterra races, she enjoys the camaraderie and physical challenges these events offer. To her being fast means building experience through stimulation, efficiency, tenacity and acceleration.

 

Be Ready

The diversity of Margo’s experience has given her a unique perspective on the world of racing and taught her the value of stepping out of the box and taking on new challenges.  She has been blessed with a number of dedicated coaches who have inspired and prepared her for a coaching career. Over the last 10 years she has coached all levels of athletes and race distances ranging from sprint to Ironman. To her being ready means setting goals, effective preparation, accountability and feedback.

 

Every athlete is unique. Margo finds that all of her athletes have a desire to be stronger, faster and better prepared for their next race, but also have individual areas of improvement they need to focus on too.
