Favorite Food: I love all food. It is hard for me to pick one favorite. Perhaps king crab and steak.
Preferred Race Distance: Olympic distance has been my favorite for a long time. I am moving towards longer distances though, like half and full Ironman.
Is your running ability a “gift†or a result of an uncanny ability to train?
I don’t want to say it is a gift, but I am not training too hard, so I may have some tendency to be an OK runner.
Why did you choose triathlon over pure running?
I moved to triathlon from running for the variety of the multi sports. I also like a challenge and it is one for me to overcome my cycling weakness. I also love the triathlon world. Triathletes are so awesome.
Do you spend much time running now, or is it on “maintenance†while you work to improve your swim and bike?
I still run, but mostly I concentrate on my bike.
Most memorable race?
I think my most memorable race was the Kokopelli long course, the year I won. Close to it was the Honu Half in Hawaii, just because it was the hardest race I ever have done.
What other hobbies do you have?
Well, I don’t really have time for hobbies. I love spending time with my son when I get to see him.
Do you obsess over training methods and plans?
Not at all. I do whatever I can when I get some time, which I realize is odd since I spend my days creating training plans for people.
Do you think your son has the knack for running?
I am not sure yet. I certainly hope so and I am looking forward to him being a couple years older and have him enter kid’s tritahlons.
Long term triathlon goals?
I would like to turn pro and pursue a career in the sport.
What does the Westminster XC Crew think about tri? Do you prep (brain wash) them for triathlon after college?
I think the team appreciates triathlon. We regularly volunteer for TriUtah and other trianthlons. A couple of my athletes have actually caught the bug. One of them is doing really well and just came back from nationals where he had an honorable performance.
