one of the best coaches with TPM rides every group and is literally never in the pits with the exception of lunch. He has some of the best advice but is rarely around in the pits to further explain what he says in hotpit being rushed is bad and leads to mistakes, I'm not a fan of that Biggest thing is the last one, gotta have some fun in there

Thanks for that; I definitely felt #3 - #6 when I was there. I was running around yappin with a couple of guys from my session during down time and we were having fun, but the coaches were either pulling double duty or just looked like they were kinda worn out from rushing from 1 place to the next.

Separate post for the good aspects.
Too many other things to list... but you get the idea.

It's amazing that they deliver a super high level of coaching even when tired. They do their best to hide it, but you can't hide nature. Lot's of "riders" would just give up and just put in useless laps when tired. These guys work even when seemingly nearly totally spent. It must be a level of willpower beyond the normal that they have vs. your everyday rider/coach.

he coached white, yellow, and red groups with TPM one day and occasionally rode in blue for fun on top of that. It felt almost like he was training for an endurance race while coaching (he helped me quite a bit too)

Chris, I know this was a great experience, and one most of us will never experienced. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am glad the decision was easy for you.
I am sure you can add more hands, your a little closer to a million.
