Coach Travis

I have been riding mountain bikes since I was a teenager and moved to road biking about 20 years ago, which of course as any good addiction naturally progressed to a love of triathlon that started in my late twenties. Passions include hypothermia-inducing 50-mile rides in the snow-covered mountains of Colorado, blister-producing century rides in the desert, multiday sessions across Iowa, battling sultry heat for Ironman(s) with numerous duathlons, triathlons, half and full marathons in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, New Mexico, Missouri, and Tennessee. Since I am glutton for punishment or perhaps it is lack of oxygen, I have always returned for seconds over the years! Currently focused on proper body mechanics, nutrition and hydration as well as finding a balance between all three sports. I have also found a love for gravel cycling in the past couple of years and when I am not training for a triathlon you can find me on some gravel road in the middle of no where.

I have been coaching in Kansas City since 2018 and was an engineer for most of my life, but cycling and triathlon are my passion. I am always learning and growing as a coach and athlete. I like to incorporate evidence-based data and technological adjuncts to provide a full picture into coaching as well as personal performance. I also provide educational talks to my athletes and peers as a solid foundation comes from understanding why we do what we do.

-Bike fitting using static measurement and 3D motion capture.

-Bike and run analysis using LEOMO motion performance indicators to provide real-time insights into your cycling and running form.

-Coaching programs in Training Peaks for cycling, gravel, and triathlon.
