Coach SARAH HANKLA

Running has been the basis of my athletic career since age 11. As a result of injury throughout college I frequently utilized cross training to maintain fitness between cross country and track seasons. In 2008, I completed my first triathlon and fell in love with the sport. It was much more of a challenge in comparison to the distance races I competed in throughout my life and college specifically. Enjoying the new challenge and sense of adventure I strived to improve each race through training and learning from others. After being team captain for several years on the cross country team at the University of Texas at Tyler I developed a passion for leading and coaching others. In 2008, I coached the female distance runners for Grace Community High School in Tyler, Texas. I have personal experience with injury rehabilitation and prevention and strive to promote a healthy balance between training and enjoying time with family. As a mother of two, I have first hand experience in designing realistic custom individual programs that can fit into a busy everyday life. I look forward to helping you accomplish your health and fitness goals
