About Me

I have been racing triathlons since the summer of 2004. My first season was highlighted by two car/bike accidents which left me with 8 broken bones, several scars and a desire to make a successful comeback. Since the second accident in August of '04 I have completed 20 triathlon's winning 12 of them. I finished 1 ironman, 1 half-ironman, 8 olympic distance, and 10 sprints. While I enjoy the shorter races I plan of racing long from this season on. The long races are a bigger challenge.

Inspirations

My high school coach Jim Andrews and my brother AJ

Biggest obstacle/challenge

Staying hydrated throughout an ironman event. I once lost 13 pounds at Ironman Lake Placid.

Superstitions

I always put the left shoe on first

Nobody knows...

I hate snakes

Biggest athletic accomplishment

Winning my age group at Ironman 70.3 Kansas in 2009

Favorite thing about training

Being outside and pushing myself to new hights

Least favorite thing about training

the taper

I work out to...

my own thoughts

Unusual training regimens

I rarely taper for a race shorter than a half-ironman.
