About Coach Colin Cook

I was born and currently reside in Pepperell, MA.  I grew up loving all sports, but primarily was focused on hockey.  I played hockey through college and will always love the sport of hockey.  However, after graduating from college, I started working at a desk job and stopped being as physically active as I used to be.  I would go to the gym and workout, but had a hard time staying motivated and just didn’t have that drive I always had growing up.  After following this path for a while, I decided to run the Boston marathon.  During my training for the marathon, I decided that triathlons would be the next obstacle for me to tackle.

As soon as I started training for my first triathlon, I developed a tremendous passion for the sport.  I really enjoy the variety in the training and the devotion it takes to obtain my goals.  I love training and the triathlon lifestyle.  I continue to train and devote myself to triathlon.  As a result, I am also looking for new and innovative techniques and technologies for myself and my athletes to improve.

I currently coach athletes throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  I really enjoy helping people and get a tremendous satisfaction out of seeing my athletes succeed and meet their goals.
