1) Age-31
2) State (location) Wisconsin
3) Fire Department- Village of Sussex
4) Why you race and how, when you got
started- I am new to the whole race thing. I have done some 5k runs
in the past but that is it as an adult. I got my first road bike winter
of 2011 and started on a trainer. Decided triathlon was my goal. My
first Sprint tri is coming up and I am already looking to the
future (see goals). Many reasons for me to race. I have 6 children
(one set of twins) that not only need their daddy but need to learn to
keep themselves fit. What better way for them to learn then to see Dad
set goals and strive to achieve them. Like many people I also have a
family history of Diabetes and other major medical issues. Fitness will
decrease my chances of being diagnosed. As a paid on call firefighter I
am subject to all of the rigors of "the Job" that my career and
volunteer brothers and sisters are. To prevent injury, or worse, I want
to be in great shape when the tone goes off. Racing again gives me
that goal to keep increasing fitness. I simply can not do this by
performing my 40hr a week job duties.
5) Current goals-
Personal-to complete a triathlon at every distance. Then to start competing first with myself then...who knows?
Community- I enjoy watching others compete, so getting others on my department to compete so I can cheer them on is up there.
6) Podiums, PR's and Favorite races- no favorites yet, PR's to come, and podiums ...I'll start with PR's
