I am a 23 year old triathlete from Oakland, New Jersey.  This season will be my 5th season competing in triathlons.  My racing season starts in Cambridge, Maryland where I will be competing at Eagleman Ironman 70.3. My goal at this race is to go under 4:30:00 and podium in my Age Group again.  I also have several other "B" races planned throughout the summer.  My BIG race this year is Ironman Canada, which will be my first attempt at this distance.  After being named Honorable Mention by USAT for 2008, I am very determinted to be an All-American in 2009!
