Sports – triathlon, cycling, running.
Favorite race – Ironman Arizona
How did you get started – A friend encouraged me to try a triathlon. I told him he was nuts. He was – but I did it anyway.
What do you like most about endurance sports – Being outside. Having a great bond with friends. Being healthy and being able to use my fitness to help others.
Your proudest moment in sports – At Ironman Arizona in 2011, I guided, encouraged, coached, cajoled and prodded two women through the last 9 miles of the marathon to their first Ironman finish.
Who do you admire in triathlon – Dick and Rick Hoyt, Scott Rigsby and Rudy Garcia-Tolson.
Favorite recovery meal
Cheeseburger, chocolate shake and a beer.
Due to multiple eye surgeries last year my racing was limited however I was able to run a few half marathons and am currently training for a 2015 of running multiple half marathons (three complete so far), maybe a full, several other distance events, volunteering at a triathlon camp for returning veterans and continuing to announce several races. I am hopeful of a return to Ironman racing in the near future.
