Henry is a USAT Certified Coach and was selected to coach at the 2022 USAT Paralympic Combine for future Paralympic hopefuls at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That same year Henry founded the first youth triathlon team in Howard County.

Henry found his way to triathlon through his daughter Camille, whose first race was the Columbia Association Kids Triathlon at age 9. Camille later joined the MC Elite triathlon team in Mount Airy, MD, under legendary coach Christy Lausch.

Camille’s love and dedication to the sport of triathlon finally convinced Henry to enter his first triathlon in 2021 at Ironman Eagleman 70.3 (+2022 & 2023). Henry also completed Ironman Florida 70.3 (Haines City) 2022, and Ironman 70.3 Florida Gulf Coast 2023. Henry made his Ironman 140.6 debut in 2021 at Ironman Waco, which was deemed toughest 2021 Ironman course in the world by average finish time. Henry completed his second full distance at Ironman Florida 2023.

Henry has over 25 years of training and coaching experience in the private sector and federal government. He is also past Mid Maryland Triathlon Club Treasurer and President.

Becky Arturo is a USA Triathlon, USA Cycling, RRCA certified coach, NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist, ACSM certified personal trainer, and licensed physical therapist with a doctorate degree from Duquesne University. She gained interest in her professional career as a PT when she started working at a local YMCA. She taught youth and adult swim lessons, worked as a lifeguard and helped with various youth programs and activities. This sparked an interest in an instructional professional career, as well as continued interest in youth development. Throughout her undergraduate degree she was involved with many community youth programs, taught local youth gymnastics classes, and volunteered as a coach with the special Olympics for swimming and track & field.

Once she reached graduate school in Pittsburgh, she began working as an assistant swim coach for the local YMCA youth team and volunteering for other various youth community

programs. Helping with one of those programs, Project RUN, is where she met her now husband, Nick, who worked for the Pittsburgh Marathon as their registered dietitian.

Becky and Nick have since moved to Maryland together to grow their professional careers. Being endurance athletes themselves, Becky and Nick decided to take their coaching background to the next level and start their own endurance coaching business. While Becky and Nick have largely been working with adult triathletes, coaching the youth team is the perfect way for the two of them to give back to the community and get back to their initial roots of youth development.

Nick Fischer works as a registered dietitian in a clinical setting. He is board certified in sports dietetics (1/19 in the state of Maryland) and is a USA Cycling Coach. His first professional job was with the Pittsburgh Marathon. Nick and his team developed Kids of Steel, a youth program aimed at getting more kids into running and general healthy living. Kids of Steel developed quickly and was voted the 2015 Junior Running Program of the Year. This program then allowed Nick and his team of staff and volunteers to develop Project RUN (Reaching Underserved Neighborhoods).

Project RUN put resources into high need areas to help teach youth and their community members about opportunities they aren't often exposed to. Nick and his team led weekly programs to teach realistic and cost-effective ways to achieve healthy living. For many years, Nick provided coaching and nutrition education at USA Cycling talent ID camps. He continues to serve at an annual triathlon and running team camp in Arkansas, where he is flown out to help with youth and adults. In addition to being a USA Cycling Coach, Nick also raced competitively on a cycling team. He is excited to get back to his roots of youth coaching.

Wendy Robinson began her fitness journey at a young age with youth swimming, track, and dance. She remained active as she raised her four daughters in Bolivia, Brazil, and finally the US.

Don took up triathlon after the birth of his twin children in 2014 as a means of improving his health and reaching a new level of fitness.
