Mike Corona

USAT Level 1 certified. Began coaching triathlon locally in 2010. Youth Sports coach with the YMCA for the past 5 years.

Mike came into the sport of triathlon in 2009, having no athletic background and coming off a 260 pound frame, losing 90 pounds through the sport. He diligently studied training principals, taught himself how to swim and bought his first ever road bike in December of 2008. He coached himself leading to his first race in June of 2009, the Keuka Lake Triathlon, where he won his age group and placed 10th overall out of over 300 participants.

Since that time, Mike has spent countless hours learning from several coaches, and has applied everything he has learned to help others achieve their goals within the sport. He believes in bringing out the best in each individual and working with people to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.
