Primary Discipline: Triathlon

Favorite Race: Reeds Lake Triathlon - I really like that this race happens right at the transition from summer to fall. The atmosphere is great and the course is fun and fast paced.

Biggest Accomplishments

I started training as a triathlete in early 2021 with the sole goal of making the elite heat cutoff time for the Reeds Lake Triathlon and I got it that year by several minutes.

Advice

Practice transitions. It takes a whole lot of effort to shave 30 seconds off your 5k time, but just a few practice sessions to shave 30 seconds off a transition.

If I'm Not Competing...

Playing guitar and reading.
