How I got into Triathlon

I am often asked how I got into competing in triathlons.  So I decided to share my story and journeys.  I first got into the sport as a dare from a co-worker. After both of us training tirelessly for a summer we both competed in our first triathlon and managed to finish. Both of us were competitive weight lifters at the time and definitely took a “unique” approach to training.   I started our with a few duathlons, running races, and cycling road races.  Over the past three years I have learned so much about the sport and about myself. I truly enjoy sharing the knowledge and tools I have learned with others, so they do not make the same rookie mistakes that I did! I am a firm believer that Winning is great, but for me it’s more about enjoying the journey and sharing my knowledge and skills with others in the community.
