Résumé: First: Suncoast sprint tri in Ft Desoto Florida

Farthest Away: 2006 Long Course Triathlon World Championships in

Canberra Australia

 

My Bikes: Quintana Roo Kilo '04 (Red)

 

 

How I support by Bike Habit: Getting a few breaks as I'm toting my bike through airport security

lines, since my mom's in the airline industry. Also buying a one day

pass in gyms across the the country and sneaking into the spin room to

get a workout in. Doing a part-time job working at Contes bikes in

Arlington, that was a blast, motivating and educational.

 

Best Time on the Bike: Doing a Century with my father in Orlando. We stopped by a subway for a mid-ride butt-break/snack, it was hot it rained and it

was awesome.

 

Worst Time on the Bike: Hawaii, I did a 36mile non-stop uphill 10,000 feet elevation gain Cycle to the Sun. It was the Worst and the Best once it ended and I had made it to the top without a single dismount. Finally at the top

we were attacked by blanket wielding masseuses. Then they fed us cookies and hot chocolate and crowned us with sweet scented leis.

 

My Motto: You never know until you tri.

 

Favorite Post-Ride Food: Chicken broth, rice crispy treats, and a salami sandwich. Unless its breakfast time and then only the buffet will suffice.
