I started running after first few years in my job after college. I was not happy with my weight and wanted to get fit. I was just happy to be able to run a 5K at first, but eventually worked my way up to the marathon distance. It took me 8 tries to finally qualify for Boston, but I never gave up! I believe anybody can do anything if they put their mind to it and put in the effort!

After several years of running, including over a dozen marathons, decided to attempt triathlon to mix things up a bit. I had never really swam much nor had I ever owned a real road bike. I went all in and within just over a year, did my first sprint triathlon, an Olympic distance, a half-ironman and then a full Ironman; I was hooked! Trying to balance a family, a demanding job, and training for triathlon is a daunting task, but with the help of TriDot I have been able to keep going.
