" I entered Ironman Louisville without really knowing what it took to complete an Ironman. I bought David's plan and followed it to the best of my ability.  I started Ironman Louisville and finished successfully on a day where the high temperature was 96 degrees. I crossed the finish line with my wife and kids there to see it all.  Following David's program was simple and I have no question in my mind that of all the money I spent on new gear and entrance fees the best $$$ I spent was on David's training program."
- Michael Dandenault, Ironman Louisville
