Triathlon legend Dave Scott confirmed for both days of Luray Triathlon. Dave is a 6x Ironman World Champion, coach to last year’s Kona’s winner Chrissie Wellington, head triathlon coach of Team in Training and overall a super nice guy. We’re still finalizing the details of special events involving Dave on race weekend but look for him on the starting line both days.

Dave won the Hawaii Ironman World Championship Triathlon in 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, and 1987. Dave came out of ‘retirement’ in 1994 at age 40 to take second place at the Hawaii, very nearly winning for a record-breaking seventh time. In 1996 at age 42, he returned again to place fifth, running the marathon in a blistering 2:45.

Mostly recently, Dave coached Chrissie Wellington and advised Craig “Crowie” Alexander for their respective wins at Ironman World Championship last year.

From Dave Scott’s website:

Dave Scott is the most recognized athlete and coach in the sport of triathlon. He is a six-time Ironman World Champion and the first inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame.

 

Dave’s career in triathlon began with the inception of the sport in 1976. He won his first Hawaii Ironman in 1980 and went on to win again in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986 and 1987. In 1993, he was honored for his accomplishments in the sport and became the first inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame. To celebrate, Dave came out of retirement and at the age of forty, after a five year absence from competition, decided to race again. In a stunning and memorable performance, beating out an impressive field of professional athletes – many of whom were in their twenties – Dave placed second overall. This incredible physical and mental feat earned Dave a new nickname among the triathlon community and he has since been known as “The Man”.

 

Dave currently devotes his time educating and inspiring athletes of all abilities and ages, leading sport camps, clinics and races across the country and running his own training group in Boulder, CO. Dave combines years of wisdom, wit and creativity to his passion for helping others. He has been the head coach for Team In Training since 1999, helping to certify TNT coaches nationwide and is actively involved in the running of his business. Dave Scott, Inc. offers individual and group fitness and nutrition consultations, innovative strength & flexibility e-program exercises, multi-media sport analysis and training tips, video analysis and corporate and tri club speaking engagements and clinics. Dave is based in Boulder, Colorado and greatly enjoys spending time with his three children and maintaining a healthy and physically fit lifestyle.

Details of Dave’s visit to Luray Triathlon, his weekend schedule and the special opportunities to interact with him will be announced soon.

Luray Sprint Triathlon Guide

About Patty Sevre: Every generation of Patty Sevre’s family has been engraving glass since the 1740′s. She creates these beautiful works of art using the time honored methods of revolving stones, copper wheels, and cooling water handed down through the generations. Every aspect of her work is freehand and shows the quality her keen eyes, sure hands, and 50 years of experience bring to a very old skill.

In her own words:

Over the last 50 years, I have  cut special orders for Tiffany & Co., Shreve Crump & Low, Boston, Ma. And  many Gift stores all over these United States and did consultant work teaching the fine art of glass cutting and designed the lathe for turning the wheels. Now I hand carve people’s portraits in glass, awards, corporate gifts, logos and any kind of art work  because crystal is my canvas. I enjoy it not because of  just the art but for the history of it, and about my family.
