#68 The PTO Rankings

Dean and Paula discuss the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) Rankings for 2021.  Having mathematics backgrounds, they analyze the data and share their findings.  

The PTO has a mission to expand the sport of triathlon to the masses by promoting professional competition.  Their website has tons of data on the professionals.  It will be exciting over the coming years to see their mission fulfilled to the point that triathlon becomes as popular to watch as professional golf and tennis.  

RyR is a team of runners and triathletes who receive comprehensive and customized coaching. The team name has dual meanings. The first is based in Hebrews 12:1 in which Christians are instructed to run the race set before us. In this context, RyR stands for Run your Race, with an emphasis on meeting you (the athlete) where you are and coming alongside you to help you reach your goals. The verse emphasizes patience, endurance, and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success as both athletes and coaches.

The second meaning is based on the enduring friendship and marriage between the founding coaches, Dean and Paula Roberts. In this context, RyR stands for Roberts and Roberts. While our primary mission is to help athletes set and reach fitness and performance goals, we understand that this must occur within the context of each athlete's daily life. We strive to form an individual relationship with each athlete and make sure weekly training fits seamlessly into family life and work schedules.
