We are very proud to welcome to our team new coach Michelle Riordan Quigley. A life-long athlete, she played soccer, basketball, and softball in high school, earning team MVP honors in each sport, and joined the golf team at Boston College, where she also discovered her love of distance running. Attending law school in Los Angeles, Michelle ran her first marathon.
Having incorporated cycling and swimming into her training, she had the opportunity to race a triathlon when her mother, who had just overcome a battle with cancer, asked her to join her at the Danskin women's triathlon, raising funds for cancer research and treatment. Her 1st triathlon season was rather successful starting 3 races and earning 3 podium finishes.
Pursuing her passion for fitness, Michelle decided to forego being a lawyer to become a personal trainer and Triathlon coach. She received her personal trainer certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and became a Level 1 USAT Certified Triathlon coach and USA Cycling Level 3 coach.
As a Private Trainer at the elite Sports Club/LA, she has quickly developed a niche working with triathletes, runners, cyclists, swimmers, and other athletes looking to build a solid foundation to prevent injuries and improve performance in their sport.

At the 70.3 World Championship:
- Dan Arnett posted a run PR to complete the race in 4:31hrs
- Jana Richtrova also competed and posted an 8 min PR finishing in 4:46hr and top 20. Not bad for the Czech chick in her 1st year racing this distance.!
- Carrie McCusker also had a great performance at the WC finishing on the podium in her AG!
At the Beach to Battleship Iron Distance, Coach Alex finished 2nd Overall. Not bad for a busy year as a pro and a new dad!
At the Miami Man International, Leszek Wnuk wrapped up his 2010 season finishing with a PR and 2nd AG place!
Athlete and Friend Tom Civitenga participated in his 1st half marathon ever competing the Chilly Half-Marathon and finished it in 1:50hrs. Not bad for a guy who recently started running and is into martial arts and not endurance sports!
Coach Kurt and athlete Curtis Boivin finished 1 and 3 at the Plymouth South Cyclocross.
We killed it!

Most of you are either in the middle of the off-season or already starting programs for early season races. Here are some simple injury prevention tips that might help you get ahead of nagging injuries.

PBM Coaching Athlete Profile
Alaina Case (formerly Alaina Neary)
On 2006, after 4 months of self-coached swim, bike, and run training, I tackled my first Half-ironman and was instantly hooked. Triathlon training provided an outlet for my energy and I instantly found a sport that suited both my personality and my body type. Since then I have completed 5 marathons, 12 Half-Ironmans, 2 Ironmans, and a few other races of varying distances.
I began working with PBM Coaching in 2008 and have had terrific success training with Coach Jorge. Highlights of my athletic achievements under PBM Coaching include winning First Overall Female at Muncie Half-Ironman, placing first as a co-ed team with my husband at the American Triple-T, placing 3rd in my age group at my first Ironman in Lake Placid, NY, which qualified me for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, and finally, competing in Ironman Hawaii in my first year at the Ironman distance.
Working with PBM Coaching has allowed me to continue to improve in the sport all while working towards my PhD in Neuroscience, since I never stopped being a nerd! Next year I would like to return my focus to the Half-Ironman distance and improve my cycling speed.
