About Me: I have always been active, but never ran a day in my life until 2009. Because so many people around me were involved with Triathlon, I quickly transitioned into the sport and have been hooked ever since!

Sports: Golf, Surfing, Snowboarding, "Swim-Bike-Run"

Athletic Goals: Stay healthy and injury-free during training. Constantly trying to improve performance, race strategy and mental strength. Meeting like-minded people and having fun racing. 2015 Season Goals: sub-3:20 Marathon, sub-40min 10K, sub-12hr Ironman

My most catastrophic racing experience was: I don't use the term "catastrophic" because I believe anything that happens is just a part of racing. Take the good with the bad and the successes with the failures.

My most memorable racing experience was: There is at least one memorable moment from every race I've done. Stories ranging from happy to disappointing to disgusting to hilarious. But all the hilarious stories are also disgusting.
