Energy Lab Archives — Bethany Rutledge

Around two years ago, I was about to start a class at Energy Lab, when George Cone walked in and said something along the lines of “I’m George, I want to go to Kona. I need coaching and I want to start now.”

Mind you, I’d never met George before. I wasn’t planning on taking any new athletes either, but how could I say no to someone so decisive, determined, and motivated?

Since that day, George has come a long way. He’s improved his performance by leaps and bounds and has had very steady progression in all three sports, particularly the bike. More than that, he’s become an important member of our Atlanta Triathlon Club and Energy Lab community, giving back with his time and expertise.

Nice job to George on nabbing Member of the Quarter!
