Episode 24 features Coach Beth Peterson. Beth joined QT2 Systems as an athlete in 2013 and as a coach in 2014.
After seeing one of her friends make huge progress after starting with QT2 Systems, Beth, who had just shifted from being an age grouper to a pro triathlete, decided to make the shift to QT2 and started working with Coach Tim Snow in June 2013. Just a few months later, she had a break-through race at IRONMAN Wisconsin, finishing second in the pro field. A race that Beth describes has having changed the trajectory of her pro career. Over the next four years, Beth earned several podium finishes and qualified to race in the pro field at Kona. Beth retired from the pro ranks in 2017, and has recently shifted her racing emphasis to endurance mountain bike events. Over the past 10 years, Beth has played a large role with QT2 Systems - as a coach and a member of the leadership team.
When she started as a coach in 2014, her charge was to grow the run segment of the business. One athlete at a time, Beth created what is now known as QT2 Run. Beth coaches runners, triathletes and cyclists - several of whom she has worked with many years, coaching them through PRs and new challenges along the way. She values the relationships she has formed with her athletes, and takes great pride in being a part of their successes.

They run because others can't.

In addition to supporting fundraising efforts, Team in Training/Leukemia and Lymphoma Society provides coaching for all teammates through virtual training plans and on course support.

Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives, and what advice they would give to their younger selves.
Episode 3 features Lenny Ramsey. Neuroscientist by day. Triathlete by night. This woman somehow found a way to balance it all. Lenny "fell" into the sport of triathlon in 2014 as a path to recovery from knee surgery. She soon found that she had a natural talent (coupled with a tremendous work ethic), and in just her second season racing, qualified for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships. The following year, she took the overall Age Group win at two IRONMAN 70.3 events, earning her pro card.  Lenny started racing pro in 2017, now coached by Tim Snow. Over the next six years, Lenny raced full seasons as a pro triathlete while at the same time continuing with her full time job and life at home. To keep it all in the balance, Lenny learned to be very strict with her schedule and focus on what she was doing at that moment in time (and not worrying about what she wasn't doing). 
After a strong race at IRONMAN Maryland in 2023, Lenny decided to retire from the sport of triathlon. The balance of life had shifted enough that she no longer felt like she had the time she needed to compete at the level she knew she was capable. When asked if she would do it again, her answer was "100% ... I wouldn't give it up for the world." She will forever value the opportunity she had to race at the highest level and to learn what her body was capable of. Her advice to her younger self - "Don't put so much pressure on yourself ... things don't always need to be perfect."

Episode 2 features Anne Basso. Anne came to QT2 Systems in 2015. At that time, she had raced as an elite athlete for six years and had no intention of continuing to race. Her sights were set on developing as a triathlon coach. In this capacity, she participated in several QT2 camps and interacted with QT2 Systems founder Jesse Kropelnicki. Over time, Jesse encouraged Anne to start training again. With Jesse's support and a new perspective, Anne re-entered the world of elite triathlon racing, and continues to this day. For Anne, her most memorable moments are not her best results, but rather the steps of her personal journey to push herself to her highest level. Memorable moments were the times when she did something that she didn't think she was capable of.
When asked what she would tell her younger self, she responded without hesitation - "always know your why." For Anne, her why is her passion for the sport of triathlon.
