Background and Experience:
Hey everyone, so you are interested in doing a triathlon? Sweet!!! Welcome and how can I help? I have been an endurance athlete almost my entire life, from a young age I always would run longer and further than all my child hood buds. I began my running and triathlon endurance sports career in 1983. My 1st triathlon was the Wycoff Triathlon in Wycoff, NJ. That was the spark that fueled the flame. From 1983 to present I have completed probably close to a hundred triathlons of every distance from sprint to full Ironman. In 1984 I completed my 1st marathon the Philadelphia Marathon. There is no way to keep track of the many races I have completed in the past 25+ years, but my t-shirt drawers are overflowing. In 2005 I competed in the Tri The Parks Triathlon series (6 sprint distance races) with my then 13 yr old daughter and 15 yr old son. I ventured into Adventure racing in 2003 and Ultra Marathons in 2007. To broaden my love and passion for endurance multi-sports I began coaching in 2007. Introducing my passion to so many new and eager athletes has been as exciting and rewarding as the past 25 plus years of racing. To help and inspire everyone to reach amazing goals is more rewarding and inspiring then I could have ever imagined. So, come on out, you can do it!!!! We will TRI, and we will have fun doing it!!!
