Background:
|
Michael Collins coaches Multisports Orange County and the Irvine Nova Masters Swimming Program.
He has an extensive background competing in triathlons since 1984, including as a professional from 1988-1993. He has personal best times of 1:48 for Olympic Distance, 4:28 for Half Ironman Distance, and 9:48 for Ironman Distance (Hawaii 91). He was ranked in the top 10 in the national pro circuit in 1989 & 1990.
Collins now competes in Sprint to half Ironman races due to limited training time, but still managed a top 5 placing at the 2004 ITU World Triathlon Championships in the 35-39 age group, and was the overall amateur 2002 ITU World Aquathlon Champion in Cancun.
Collins is a well known author on endurance sports technique and training. His articles have appeared in SWIM magazine, Swimming Technique, TRIATHLETE magazine, Triathlon Today, American Swimming, and many other national publications.
