"As a swimmer, I knew that I couldn't rely on my one strength for podium finishes in triathlon.  I knew that I had to work on my bike and decided to joinCycling Centre. After one season with the Cycling Centre, I improved my average bike split by 4km per hour.  Surprisingly, it also helped me improve my run splits to sub 4:00km for the first time.  Cycling Centre helped me to win my age group at Nationals in Kelowna in 2010 and secured a spot for 2011 World Sprint Triathlon Championships in China."

-LEE HOOPER, 2011 National Team Member for Age Group World Championships.

"I used to finish the swim portion of a triathlon near the front of the pack, and then watch everyone pass me on the bike. After training with the Cycling Centre and coach Petrina, I now not only post some of the fastest bike splits, but have improved my fitness enough to set new best times on the run as well.  I wouldn't have thought it was possible to improve this much in one season – but I have a summer full of podium finishes to prove it!"

-ERIN CHURCHILL, 2011 National Team Member for Age Group World Championships.

“In the early days of my cycling carrier Petrina helped me find my way in the sport.  She gave me structured training that helped me improve and kept the training I did interesting and involving.  She was also patient with me and willing to help me work towards dreams that other coaches said where not possible. This positive start has allowed me to enjoy the sport right through the highest level.  It has helped me see the sport for what it is and what it can be, and also kept me balanced as I have improved.  These tools have helped me keep a level head and I still use that foundation every day.”

ZACH BELL, 2008 Olympian, World Championship Silver Medalist, Professional Cyclist with Team Spidertech

“Thank you for the very great winter training. I have never spent so much time on my bike over the winter and the reason I did is that you are very good at what you do. I have done some other indoor training classes but they can't compare to how well you run yours. I really liked that at the first class that you picked out my weakness immediately and gave me something to think about and improve my technique. I have been riding that way for many years and no one said anything to me. I am looking forward to the spring and getting out on the road and transferring what I learnt with you to my regular riding. It will be an interesting spring and summer.” 

– PAUL WOOD, Mountain Biker

“I just wanted to thank you for your great training and coaching.  I really learned a lot and improved as I found out on Sunday as I finished first in my class and forth overall in the 25 km mountain bike race.  It was crazy with snow, ice, and even some dry single track.  I felt really strong the whole race thanks to you.”
