Profile

I grew up skiing, riding and running in the Okanagan and competed in Track and Field and XC ski racing. My first proper bikes in the early 90’s were a fully rigid blue Araya mountain bike and first road bike was a faded red (pink) Pinarello which introduced me to triathlons. I was a terrible swimmer, mediocre biker and passed a lot of people on the run, so it was fun!

In my early 20’s, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a form of arthritis which effectively stopped my running, and got me more interested in cycling and other forms of low impact exercise. It is only in the last few years that I have been able to start running more consistently again. I have to pay attention to how my body feels and back off when I need to.

Long Term Goals
Requalify for Xterra World Championships.
Continue to improve my swimming, biking and running in the pursuit of "my perfect triathlon".
