With an initial goal of improving my fitness level, I started running and cycling during 2009. Since then I’ve caught the triathlon bug. I enjoy the competition and daily training routines of the sport. Running has become my “zen” time. Friends ask me how I can run so long without headphones, so I try to explain the beauty in “feeling” the landscape and life around me, but not many seem to get it. I think an early morning run on a weekend would convince them.
I have a vision of completing an Ironman event in the coming years. Perhaps this came about from a recently completed half Ironman, but regardless, I’m looking forward to the challenge. The idea of swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles, then running a marathon sounds so appealing. For me, the longer distance races are a competition between me and the course.
I am married to a women who has exposed me, a farm boy, to so much. We have a son that puts a smile on my face every day and another little one on the way. Life is good!
