Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
Triathlon started for me 30 years ago when we moved into a condo community with a pool and my boss told me his son was selling his bike. I was already running regularly for general health. I surprised myself finishing 3rd in my first Tri in Oyster Bay Long Island NY. I was hooked.
For 10 years Sprint and Olympic racing was all my work schedule would permit, a lucky happenstance I think. I got good at that getting on Team USA 4 times. In 2001 I did my first IM and also finished 3rd and got my first of 15 Kona slots.
In 2003 the sport had drawn me into coaching. First with a group on Long Island (Long Island Tri Coach) and then D3 after moving to Boulder in 2003.
