“Last year at this time I was contemplating giving up on iron-distance racing. After three years of beating my head against the wall trying to figure out the right formula for iron-distance success, I was at the end of my rope.  IMAZ 2008 was the straw that almost broke the camel’s back after a much unexpected horrible day (13+ hours).  I contacted Will at 4th Dimension Fitness.  I must have fired 5,000 questions at Will within the first 5 minutes of the first interview.  He answered all of them and got me set up for some lactate tests.  The science behind the lactate testing coupled with Will’s experience and ability to interpret the results in the form of methodically placed workouts, and his ability to communicate with athletes; proved to be my best weapon on race day – better than any $3,000.00 aero wheelset or skinsuit.  I showed up on the beaches of Panama City Florida a more confident, fit; and most importantly, a more fresh and smartly trained triathlete.  The result, 10:36:58 – shattering my previous PR by 2 hours.”
