I am a professional triathlete who is trying to make 2012 Olympic Trials for the United States.  This means that I need to reach the top 150 on the ITU Points List.  I currently have zero ITU points so I really have my work cut out for me!  This year I will be racing half a dozen ITU races -- Pan American Cups in Mazatlan and San Francisco, Premium Pan American Cups in Kelowna and Tuscaloosa, the Pan American Championships in Puerto Vallarta and a World Cup in Huatulco.  I also plan to do a few other races on the west coast -- mostly in the greater Seattle area and in California.

I am based in Redmond, WA, where I also work for Microsoft Corporation as a Program Manager in the HealthVault group.  I swim at the PRO Sports Club and at Samena Swim & Rec Center.  I ride my bike with the Recycled Cycles / Raleigh USCF team.  I run with the Eastside Runners and/or Club Northwest on the track and I do a lot of training runs in beautiful Bridle Trails State Park.

I also run the Austin Endurance Ranch training camps.  If you would like to do a warm-weather training camp next winter with a fun group of people and a staff of professional triathletes, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it !
