Birthday: March 19
Favorite Local Triathlon: Pensacola Beach Tri - it's short, fast, flat, and it was my first triathlon.
Bucket List Race:
- IM Chattanooga, because it would be nice to do an Ironman in my home state
- Kona, because it's Kona
Must-Have Gear:
- Garmin watch - it provides so much important data for swimming, biking, & running
- GCCT Visor - it keeps the sweat and the sun off my face
How I Got Into This: I rode/raced BMX when I was younger. In my mid-twenties I started running non-competitively. At the same time, I surfed a lot and started swimming so I could work on the beach as a lifeguard. In 2012 I was looking for something new and challenging so I signed up for Pensacola Beach Tri.
Favorite Part of a Tri: Bike. You can use it to create a decent gap before the suffer fest run. Also, who doesn't like going fast on a bike?
Goals: Continue to train, stay injury free, place in local races, get faster at long course races.
Nutrition Advice: Shot bloks, Gu, bananas, & chocolate milk.
FYI: I'm from Tennessee, I'm 1/4 Japanese, and I was in the Coast Guard a little over 4 years.
Day Job: Student
Why GCCT Rocks: The camaraderie, meeting new people, and training together. The tri community is a very close knit group who are always willing to help and encourage each other.
