I’m an aspiring triathlete. I completed my first sprint triathlon in 2006 and now I am focused on meeting my goal to finish a half ironman before I turn 30. I’m looking forward to overcoming the mental and physical challenge of training for an endurance event. This blog chronicles the steps that I take towards reaching my goal. You will find training updates, race schedule, product reviews, and some other odds and ends. I'm happily married to my best friend (we’ve gone to school together since kindergarten) and together adopted one neurotic German shepherd named Rudy.
