| About Me | I am a triathlete but my history is extensive. I started mountain biking after hearing about all the fun Patrick Miranda and crew were having at the 24 Hours of Canaan. I had to get in on the action. In 1998 I joined everyone on a team at 24 Hours of Canaan. I continued mountain biking at Mohican, Vulture's Knob and several years at 24 Hours of Snowshoe. The team races are the most memorable mountain bike experiences. The group of people I was mountain biking with started Snakebite Racing in '01 - '02. Todd Bolgrin and Patrick Miranda wanted to form a team of racers and I was thrilled to be included with the team. My wife got me running again. I also borrowed an old road bike from Linda Miranda to see if I would enjoy the road. I loved it. I did my first duathlon and triathlon in 2000. I bought my own road bike and started racing at the Westlake Criterium. I did some road races and the Twin Sizzler. However, I was having fun with triathlons. I worked on my swim and improved my times. In 2004 my wife and I decided to go big and did the Great Buckeye Challenge. The race is a half iron distance race and I loved it. I have been racing long course triathlons ever since. In 2005 I raced the HFP Points Series at the Olympic distance. I was 2nd in my age group. For 2006 I completed my first Ironman at Lake Placid, NY. Ironman USA was incredible and I finished in 11:14. I focused on a fast Half Iron race in 2007. The Racing for Recovery netted a 2nd place finish in the age group and 13th overall. 2008 took me back to Ironman. I completed Ironman Wisconsin in 11:04. I did better but I know I can improve my Ironman performance even more. In 2009 the American Triple T weekend put me into a whole new area of triathlon....the multi-day race. My performance at Triple T was followed up with a fantastic showing at the Double Mussel. 2010 has Triple T on the schedule again. The new Rev3 race at Cedar Point is also on the schedule. |
