Our club Board of Directors are elected and serve for a 2-year term.


President

Deb Armstrong

A competitive swimmer growing up and age group swimming coach in 1982, Deb watched Julie Moss famous crawl across the Ironman finish line thinking “I could never!” In 2011 an Irongirl was scheduled in her hometown and Deb immediately registered. When she crossed that finished line she knew she was hooked and jumped right to an Olympic distance and then a 70.3. Deb took a break for several years focusing on my professional fundraising career and family obligations. It was a cancer diagnosis in November of 2017 that brought her back to the importance of living a healthier lifestyle and decision to become a triathlon coach. Deb is a certified Level 1 USAT, Ironman and Masters’ Swim Coach. In addition to coaching for the tri-club, she coaches individuals with a focus on beginners and cancer survivors interested in increasing health and fitness to accomplish their physical goals. Deb is a multiple 70.3 and marathon finisher. She believes that triathlon can help anyone realize that “impossible is temporary.”

Membership Director

Gina Fielding

Gina grew up outside of Philadelphia, but has been in Denver for 13 years and has always been involved in sports and outdoor activities throughout my life. After years of participation in casual 5k and 10k races, in 2019 Gina decided it was time for a new challenge and signed up for her first sprint triathlon. Recognizing that she'd never previously had any formal swim training, she joined a beginner triathlon training group and found AMC to help me achieve my goals. 

Despite being convinced that she would never get out of the water and taking 32 minutes to complete the swim in Boulder reservoir at the Colorado Tri, Gina ended up growing to love it and completed four sprint triathlons that season. What Gina enjoys most about AMC is the community and she can be found training casually and enjoying the outdoors with my dog, Dizzy (who also attends the occasional group run activity).

Treasurer

Leslie Beahm

Leslie is a military spouse (retired) who moved to Colorado in 2014, a mother of two almost-grown boys, and an electrical engineer who does power distribution, systems, and lighting design for buildings. 

Leslie has been competing in triathlon since 2017, when she found a flier for a beginner triathlon group at her local Rec Center. AT that time, she couldn't run two times around the indoor track without needing to stop for a breath (2/11 of a mile!). She has now completed a handful of half-Ironman races and a full Ironman. Leslie was previously the AMC Coaching Director and has graciously agreed to stay on as a Member at Large

Coaching Director


Mary Carey

As an athlete, Mary has completed the Ultra520K Canada triathlon, five Ironman races, 16 half Ironman races, a 50k trail race,13 marathons, and too many shorter triathlons and road races to count. Mary began her coaching career in 2000 as a marathon and triathlon coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program (TNT), the world’s largest and most successful endurance-training program. She has coached dozens of athletes to marathon and half-marathon completion and hundreds of athletes to triathlon finishes. In October 2004, Mary became a USA Triathlon Certified Coach (Level I). She is also an Ironman Certified Coach and Slowtwitch Master Coach having completed the Swim Coach, Cycling Coach and Run Coach certifications. Mary is a swim coach at SwimLabs.

Mary’s personal clients strive to achieve personal bests in half marathons and marathons as well as triathlons of all distances – from sprint to Ironman. Specializing in beginner and intermediate athletes, her goal is to help people realize their fitness dreams through endurance sports – completing a marathon, completing a triathlon, or just adopting a healthier lifestyle. She also enjoys helping seasoned athletes achieve personal bests or complete longer distances.

As a personal coach, Mary’s philosophy is that running and triathlon are exciting ways to achieve goals, build self-confidence, stay active and fit, have fun and meet great people. Whether her clients are first-timers or athletes striving for personal bests, Mary can provide the framework for success.
