About Me: I'm a husband and father. I love crossing the finish line and setting a PB. But it's truly rewarding to run a race with someone and seeing their face and celebrating their accomplishment when they cross the finish line.
Sports: Swim, Bike, Run. Repeat.
Athletic Goals: 2018 - Doing the crazy this year: Full Ironman
My most catastrophic racing experience was: Only blown tubes and muscle cramps in training... (touch wood). Nothing catastrophic has happened in a race yet.
My most memorable racing experience was: 1- Crossing the finish line of my first half-marathon, with my wife hand-in-hand 2- Running with my 4 y/o son in his first race. 3- Finishing IM70.3 in the Philippines. 4- Finishing IM Mont Tremblant
Favourite Racing Gear: My Garmin 910xt. It tracks and counts everything for me.
Favourite Race: Gravenhurst Tri - Love the steamships
Favourite Race Food: Peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
