Coach Megan
Coach Megan Tobin from TMT Coaching has been working with the SF Tri Club for several years leading our popular training programs (0 to 60, Escape From Alcatraz, and Half Ironman) and also coaches many of our members privately.
She ‘s a multiple Ironman 140.6 and 70.3 World Championship qualifier and finisher 💪 And has more coaching certifications than we have room to list here - Ironman U Certified Coach, USAT Certified Level 1 & 2 Coach, USMS Certified Coach, Women's Specific Training Program Specialist, and more.
Having begun her triathlon journey as a mom of 3, full time corporate marketer and single mom, Megan both understands the demands of a busy life, but also knows that finding time for training and racing can bring so much to both you the athlete, but also help you be a better person, parent, and professional. (Yes, really.)
