What People are saying

It’s not everyday that you get to personally interact and learn from a living legend and his team of highly skilled professionals. It’s certainly not everyday that a team of highly accomplished professionals take a keen interest in YOUR personal mastery, from physical preparedness to mental agility.

Mario Santana
When my husband and I decided to train for the full ironman in South Africa we couldn’t find a better coach to help us reach this exciting and challenging goal! James and Aaron made our ironman journey exciting and memorable. Despite tough conditions we were mentally and physically prepared to crush the race and finish with a smile!
Dina Aly
The training I have received from TIC and Carlee Tulett has been second to none. They are amazing. There is an 80/20 balance of training that does not stifle you mentally or physically. The plans are doable. They are not daunting. That right there takes a huge load off of the intimidation of training for an Ironman.

JAMES LAWRENCE

James is originally From Calgary, Alberta Canada. He grew up a wrestler and later in life became to love endurance racing to escape the hectic routine of Corporate America. After losing everything in 2008, James turned to his new found passion for triathlon racing and went on to break two world records within three years. In 2015 James accomplished the unthinkable despite everyone saying his end goal was impossible. He completed 50 Ironman distance triathlons, in 50 days, in each of the 50 United States — The 50-50-50.

Carlee Tulett

Carlee Tulett is an elite amateur triathlete and experienced endurance athlete in a wide range of running, cycling, and triathlon events.  Starting in high school, Carlee found success in both soccer and track and field and eventually went on to compete as a 100 and 200 meter runner at Western Washington University.

After competing in various local running and triathlon events, Carlee registered for her first 70.3 in 2011 and sought coaching assistance from James Lawrence and Team Ironcowboy where she went on to qualify for the 70.3 world championships later that same year. In addition to winning and placing in various local events, Carlee snagged 3rd female in her first full distance at the Lake Havasu HIITS triathlon series. Subsequently, she joined Team Ironcowboy as a coach in 2015, completed the Ironman University Training certification, and has gone on to coach many athletes to race successfully in events ranging from 100 mile ultra trail runs to the Ironman World Championships in Kona. 

While staying home and raising her five little boys ranging from age three to 13, Carlee has managed to complete (and typically podium in) over 20 70.3 events, 4 full Ironman events, and a variety of  endurance road, trail, and cycling events. Recently, Carlee placed 2nd female in the ICON Livigno xtreme triathlon which qualified her for the Norseman xtreme triathlon in 2020.  Carlee brings to the Team Ironcowboy coaching staff her expertise in open water swim technique, mental toughness training, extreme endurance events, and balancing work and motherhood responsibilities with endurance training. 

AARON Hopkinson

Aaron was one of James’ #wingmen during the world record-breaking summer of 2015 and was instrumental in getting him through each day of the 50. Aaron’s attention to detail and work ethic is second to none. Aaron grew up in Pleasant Grove, Utah where he excelled as a wrestler dominating the competition taking his athleticism to a high level. 

He is a monster on the bike and his love for cycling got him into triathlon and competing in endurance sports. He has won and placed at different distances of triathlon. He is very well rounded having raced all distances of triathlon including competing at the Xterra World Championships in Hawaii, competing in ultras, many cycling events, and most recently competing in World’s Toughest Race Eco Challenge in Fiji hosted by Bear Grylls and put on by Amazon Prime. Aaron has been well taught by David Warden and is certified by Ironman University. He has been coaching with Team Ironcowboy since 2016. He loves seeing the success of others and help bringing athletes and people to their ultimate potential and help complete their goals.
