If you head on over to achillesinternational.org, under the Volunteers section there is a blurb about me. Oh what the hell, here’s what it looks like:

And if you can’t read it, here’s what it says:

October Achilles Volunteer of the Month! Andy Huh first guided for Achilles at the Duathlon Nationals this spring.  A familiar face at weekly swim practices, he often lured new volunteers with his charms and good looks.  Not just a pretty face, prior to every race Andy single-handedly loaded tandem bikes into strategic Tetrus-like formations within his family’s bakery truck – often at 4:30am.  Andy is one of those rare volunteers and human beings who approaches any task you give him with “I got this”.  He guided Joe Dowling on a bumpy path at the NYRR-Queens-tri, led Irene Hecht to a PR at the Pequannock-tri, and directed our para-athletes en-route to the Connecticut tri.  Even after a painful stress fracture
Andy guided Lamar Brown to a bronze medal finish at the World Duathlon Championships in Scotland and provided an entertaining blog for us to follow.  Andy’s quick-wit, critical-thinking, and overall positive nature contributed to the Achilles tri team’s incredible season.  Thank you Andy

It’s true. I do have ridiculously good looks and it wasn’t at 4:30 AM—it was more like 3:00 AM. Not tooting my own horn, of course.

In all seriousness, this season was great but was even better competing alongside Achilles. I met so many great friends from the organization. (It sounds like I don’t have many friends. I do, but now I have MORE friends)

Inadvertently, I have more pressure to train. As a guide, you have to be at the very least — the same, or preferably in better athletic shape than your athlete. The point is to guide them to their personal best, and not anchor them as dead weight.
