John Riley
Finisher, 2004 Ironman Wisconsin
Product Manager, Trek Bicycles

In 2004 I decided to do the Madison Ironman. Not having any experience as a swimmer was going to be my biggest challenge. I was confident I could do the bike, and the run could be a walk if need be. But the swim presented a different challenge because you couldn't just stop and rest.

But then I was introduced to Mark at Swimfast my confidence grew quickly. The unique approach by Swimfast to improve my stroke and gain confidence in open water swimming was amazing. I couldn't have finished the Ironman without Swimfast. And in 2005, I am looking to improve my time at the Madison Ironman by 20 minutes. And I know with Mark's help I can do it!!
