Regina Hammond

Regina grew up swimming and running competitively and knew she’d compete in triathlons someday. She started swimming competitively in fifth grade, but fell in love with running in seventh grade and competed in track and cross country through high school. Regina competed on a national level in cross country while setting school and divisional records. She continued running competitively while at Ithaca College, where she graduated in 1996 with a degree in Television and Psychology.

After college, Regina bought a road bike and participated in the Boston-NY AIDS ride, after which she was hooked on cycling. She participated in her first sprint duathlon in 1998, placing first in her age group. She placed in her age group in each Sprint and Olympic triathlon she did thereafter. Taking a break from triathlon, she turned to competitive cycling in 2000. She competed on local New York City bike teams, as a Category 3 road cyclist, and raced all over New England. She also raced CycloCross and on the Track.

After racing non-stop for five years on her bike, Regina turned to long course triathlon. She competed in her first half and full Ironman in 2006, and has improved ever since. She competed in her third Ironman in Lake Placid in 2009, and has plans to focus on half-ironman distance in 2010.

With a solid background in all three disciplines, Regina provides her clients with a very well balanced and knowledgeable approach to triathlon training. She designs highly personalized workouts and assists her clients in improving each area of triathlon. Regina focuses on the whole athlete and the entire season combining innovative and steadfast methods of triathlon coaching. Regina feels it is imperative not only to be trained well but also to know how to fuel while training and racing. As an athlete for most of her life, she knows how to make training a priority and incorporate it into a busy schedule.USA Triathlon Certified Coach
