Coach Lizzie is here to help, whether you're a novice runner, looking to race your first triathlon or improve your time at your next Ironman. She provides personalized training that will push you further with training programs that match your fitness level, are tailored to your race goals, and fit around your busy schedule.
LIZZIE entered into the world of endurance sports in high school, when she discovered running after many unsuccessful attempts to be “good at” gymnastics, basketball, field hockey, and tennis. Finding that running requires little hand-eye coordination, she had some success throughout high school and college, where she ran D1. Upon graduating college, she continued running, often going for 4-hour “jogs” around the city of Boston (just for fun).
When she later moved to Santo Domingo, she ran with a local team and was then recruited to train with the mens’ national triathlon team, as the only female. This was the moment that changed Lizzie’s life forever. She fell in love instantly with triathlons.
Wanting to share her love of the sport with others, she began ROC Multisport as a side hustle while teaching. When the community grew from 1 athlete to over 50 athletes, Lizzie had to make a choice. She chose triathlon coaching (sorry, teaching – love you dearly too). What she found was that her education and psychology degrees came in as handy as her coaching certifications.
Now, Lizzie is happily building close relationships with her athletes, and feels incredibly grateful to be part of the ROC Multisport community.

When Lucy is not chasing a sunrise she works as co-founder and Creative Director of NeatWorks, Inc., where she developed and refined the NeatWorks design style and philosophy of simplicity, elegance and function as well as provided creative direction to the web and graphic design teams.
