Relentless Forward Motion. In life and in racing nothing happens by standing still. Always move ahead, even slowly, and progress will be made.
Goals:
To be competitive at ultra distance triathlons and cycling events. My goal for the 2010 season is to win the Ultracycling Cup by placing well at a series of ultracycling races. I plan to move back to UltraTriathlons in 2011 and shoot for the DecaIronman.
Athletic Overview:
I began racing as part of the Ohio State Cycling Team in 1996 as a way to blow off steam from graduate school. I shifted focus to multi-sport racing soon after and have since competed in the 2009 Race Across the West, 2008 Double Ironman World Championships (and won! Whoo hoo!!!), Ultraman World Championships, multiple ironman distance triathlons, along with several 24 hour adventure races, mountain biking, cyclocross, ultrarunning, skiing, snowshoe, and shorter-distance races of all types. I guess I just love to race.
Over time, I’ve discovered my strengths are in my mental toughness and physical endurance and that I can be competitive at the long distances. I find that when I push myself just past my limits, I learn a bit about what I’m made of.
