Bio:
I got started in triathlons in 2009. I participated in two events, the 5 Mile Lake sprint tri in Auburn and the Seafair sprint tri. I wanted to cross-train to stay injury free for running, and a friend told me about sprint triathlons. I looked online, registered for the 5 Mile Lake sprint tri, signed up for swim lessons with Teresa, and soon I was hooked!
I am most proud of myself for changing my lifestyle to the healthy person that I am today, and my proudest achievement was when I reached my goal of running 10 marathons in 9 different states in 2009. I joined TN Multisports to experience a “team” atmosphere and to take my triathlon training to a new level (specifically, to work on my poor swimming!).
Random fun tidbit about me: My friends once dared me to run down to the end of the hotel room hall in my boxers at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. As soon as I took off running, they of course closed the hotel room door and locked it. It was awesome to stand there, periodically pounding on the door as people walked by staring at me. After about a half an hour somebody must’ve called security because an officer came up and made them open the door. Rad.
