Why did you choose triathlons? What i appreciate about triathlons is that everyone has a favorite event where they excel. but everyone also has a weakness. the combination is different for everyone and creates an interesting race dynamic. How has your training progressed? When i first started training for a sprint triathlon, i was able to get in shape within eight weeks. since then, i���ve joined a bike racing team, began masters swimming at the Wac, and hired a coach. i do strength work, swim, and try to run as much as i can. for cycling, i do one short indoor session during the week and pack two long bike rides into my weekend. You���ve been injured a few times. What keeps you motivated? it���s not about how you fall; it���s about how you get back up. i carry a card in my wallet that reads, ���i am an athlete training to qualify for the ironman World championships. act �� Move �� eat �� sleep that.��� it���s my daily reminder. What do you recommend for new triathletes? it���s important to stay focused on attainable goals. be patient enough to accept your current fitness and be proud of your progress along the way. 48 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | MARCH 2013 Monday���thursday: 4���5 pm; through May; $55/month ($35/month for each additional child).
