What has been one of the largest contributing factors to your success?
Always setting goals that would spark my passion and then falling in love with the journey.

How do you balance training, three boys, and work? Carefully scheduled quality based workouts, having plan B and C when plan A doesn’t fly, letting some workouts go, reminding myself that if I never raced again that I would always workout and that keeps me passionate without being obsessive.

What first inspired you to do a triathlon?
I saw it as a chance to rebuild my life on many levels. Triathlons have the ability to make you see the truth about yourself because it is you against yourself, no excuses or false claims allowed.

How do you stay continually motivated?
Like I said before, I am in love with the pursuit of self betterment and that is a quest that will never end and will always keep me motivated.

Are there days when you don’t want to train? And if so, how do you get through them?
First, I will try changing the workout to something that I feel I can get excited about. Then, if I really don’t want to go, I don’t. It usually means I need a break either physically, spiritually, or emotionally. Otherwise, with built rest days and rest weeks, I am usually ready to go.
