I was a swimmer for 13 years and was a multiple State Champion. I held 2 State 3A records (50yd Free 3 years / 100 Breast 1 year). I burned out before college and decided not to continue. I ran X-Country at a small private college and was all conference 2 years (sub 6min miles on 8K average). I bought a reasonably cheap road bike in mid-Aug 2009 and decided to see if I could put it all together. Despite all of these facts from 10 years ago (and 30lbs and 2 kids), I still stink up the triathlon world. After my first Sprint Tri in mid-Sep 2009, I began to appreciate the endurance of Triathletes. Now I'm hooked and I want to fight my way to the top.
