TTC monthly news & updates
|
|
Swim – Bike – Run – Community – Fun, that is our tagline and a succinct way to state our mission. Yes, we have an amazing array of activities under way at this point in the season, but, what is heartwarming is seeing the
Community part come together. Some of last year’s Beginner Program “graduates” are taking on leadership roles in the club, leading the “C” groups rides and providing mentorship to some of our new members just taking up the sport.
We have more racing, community, and fun coming with a big group of club members racing the Crystal Coast Half and Full Iron distance in May. We will also have a big community presence at the Triangle Triathlon with many of our members racing, TTC will supply the bulk of the volunteers, which will help raise funds for the YMCA scholarship fund. We will also have some fun after the Triangle Triathlon at our post-race cookout. I hope you can join us for these activities.
Volunteers are what makes our activities and races happen.

News from T3 Tri Coaching
|
We are off to a great start with the TTC Beginner Triathlete Program with the first 2 sessions underway for our June races and our third session sold out for our August race. Its great to see all of the interest in these programs and all the new faces in the club. We’ll be out at the Triangle Sprint and 3 Little Pigs in June so if you are racing those, give our team a big shout out and cheer them onto the finish lines.
If you are racing a full or half IRONMAN this year or need help with shorter distances outside of the Beginner Program, please give me a call or send me a note.
Learn more at
www.t3tricoaching.com
. I look forward to seeing you out training and crossing the finish line.

I’d like to be your mortgage coach
|
One of the things I love about my work as a mortgage lender is the flexibility with my schedule. Since I’m often working for my clients at night and on weekends, it is acceptable when I need to take time out of my work day to train. It was a shock the first time a text message popped up on my bike computer, from a client who needed a preapproval letter. I had no idea my Garmin linked to my phone - but that text message was motivation to ride harder to get home from that long Sunday bike ride and write that letter!
As a triathlete, you may have a coach guiding your training for a goal race. I’d like to propose that you think of me as your mortgage coach. Everything we talk about will always be 100% confidential. I’ve worked with many local triathletes, but you’ll never hear me mention a name.
My favorite part of this career is coaching my clients through this process and solving what may seem like a challenging issue so they can become a homeowner, particularly if they thought they couldn’t before. For example, A TTC member recently asked how to qualify to buy a home as soon as possible, due to a pending divorce. This is a sensitive topic, and mortgage financing can be tricky. But I was able to offer ideas and provide guidance, so they knew what was going to be required, understood the necessary timeline, and we created a plan to make this happen.
There is no fee for my services until I close a loan for you, and those closing costs will be the same whether I preapproved you yesterday or we’ve been working together for months. I love puzzles, and I see every mortgage scenario as a puzzle, with the solution being the right mortgage for my client. I’ve worked with thousands of clients since 2005, and I’d be thrilled to have a chance to work with you, or simply give you some guidance gleaned from my extensive experience. Oh, and BTW
First person to read this and call me gets one of my new “no whining, just mortgages” corkscrews.)
