About Me

I'm a husband and father of 2 with a full time job, but view triathlon as a way to give additional focus to my free time. I am an ex-roadie who happened upon triathon back in the early 90's, and I've been trying to learn to swim ever since.

Inspirations

Racing: I'm always inspired by things I see at races.

Biggest obstacle/challenge

Time management. With 2 young kids (3 & 7), it can be tough to squeeze in the time to train.

Superstitions

Never use the 'F' word (the one which rhymes with 'splat'). Bad things come to those who do...

Biggest athletic accomplishment

Coming back and qualifying for Kona again after taking 8 months off, when I dropped out of IM Lake Placid with a blood clot in my right lung.

Favorite thing about training

Beign outdoors and riding the roads and hills of Wisconsin, and early morning workouts.

Least favorite thing about training

Computrainer rides during the winter...when it's dark outside, and early morning workouts.

I work out to...

Random movies on the Computrainer; nothing outdoors.

Unusual training regimens

Does shoveling snow in the winter count?
