Why do you race triathlon? I wrote 14 different responses for this one and none of them articulated what I was really trying to say. Triathlon is so unique and enhances so many parts of my life that it’s hard to give one WHY. The energy, the people, the travel, the lifestyle, and it’s a great outlet for my competitive nature …Do I need to race? Absolutely not. I like to race, I enjoy racing, I have to race. But it’s not like this compulsive need to race, like my need to win… What has been your biggest challenge in triathlon? Due to my passion for running, I find myself injured a lot (stress fractures, sprains..). What is your greatest strength in triathlon? Everyone who competes for the race goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but I do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:25. Shout out to: Monica and Ray, the true backbone of my summer training. Hobbies: cooking, bikram yoga, making mac videos, holding my breath, family activities, traveling, eating. Website: Not yet  |
