Testimonials Patt Baenen said . " It was my best year ever riding my bike. More structure, more focus, more success. You had a great deal to do with it. You're an awesome coach!! (hugs go here)." Elissa Stohlman (junior athlete) says "Linelle has offered such a high standard of dedication and comittment she's become something more than a coach -she's a part of our family and someone we love." Carola F. Berger says 'All I could think the whole time is wow! You performed a miracle" Snippet from Carola F Berger regarding her first ride at elevation this year: “I just got back from my first bike ride on my first day here and the mountain isn't at all as steep as I remember. The altitude doesn't affect me much at all (o.k. a little bit). I know that my power is supposed to go down about 10% due to the altitude - but, the weird thing is, it's not, at the same perceived exertion level I am losing maybe 5%. I was here in 2001, and after 3 weeks of riding here, I thought I was in the shape of my life in the "pre-Linelle era". Back then, with a triple I needed to stop and pause during the climb several times and still beat some of the local roadies. Today I climbed up to the village in 10 minutes (not out of breath or gears at all), and up to the top (the main village is at 8000 feet, I stay at 8300+) in another couple. All I could think the whole time is wow! You performed a miracle. No wonder all your trackies win all available medals." Note from Linelle, Carola F Berger started working with me in May 2005. She was a Category 4 (beginning category) women's racer. Her goal was to upgrade to a Cat 3. Four months after training using my system Carola is a Category 2 elite woman racer. For details see her web site at http://www.cfberger.net/ Kay Knowles said "You’re a great motivator and kept me going when I was very discouraged". “As for the coaching, I am pleased with our relationship. I think you are honest, open-minded and have a very positive attitude. You never make me feel like I am “slacking” if I have a life constraint come up; you work with it. I realize this has an impact on my performance. You’re a great motivator and kept me going when I was very discouraged a couple of times.”
