I am proud to be supported by the fabulous folks at the following businesses:

	For the 2008 season I have joined up with the new US Pro Tri team. We are a collection of up-and-coming triathletes who are racing all over the US, and sometimes around the world. Check out the website for frequent updates on how everybody is doing.
	Austin Tri-Cyclist is a triathlon-focused bike shop in Austin, TX. They host a weekly group ride every Saturday morning with 20-, 30- and 50-mile options and free breakfast tacos afterwards. The shop also features an Endless Pool in the back where you can get in a swim workout. Don & Missy Ruthven, the owners, helped me get started in the sport with group rides and training/racing advice.
	Recycled Cycles is an excellent shop in Seattle, WA that specializes in used bicycles & hard-to-find parts in addition to selling new Raleighs and a few other brands. I have raced on the roads with the Recycled Cycles / Raleigh bike racing team. Those group rides and races have helped me build my bike fitness and pack-riding skills.
	Raleigh Bikes are based in nearby Kent, WA, which happens to be my birthplace. They make a nice lineup of road, track, mountain and around-town bikes. I do my ITU races on a carbon fiber Prestige.
	Blue Seventy Wetsuits - the finest racing wetsuit out there. I've been using Ironman/b70 wetsuits since my second race and I'm continually impressed with how comfortable I feel in the water. I do all of my wetsuit-legal races in a Helix and this year I plan to do my non-wetsuit races in a PointZero3.
	Brooks Running Shoes - I like the Adrenalines for my training runs as I am a mild pronator. Last year and so far this year I've been racing in the Racer ST 3. I ran a smoking 1:18:34 run split in the Lake Stevens 70.3 Triathlon with these shoes! I used the Mach 9 Spikeless to set a new 3k PR on the track in March (9:14.44) and I'm looking forward to trying the new T5 Racer in the second half of 2008.
