I have not figured out what my budget is yet but working on it. Due to the time of year I am not in a major hurry and it provides time to compare the 2009 to the 2010. Anyone have any suggestions for additional bikes that I should look at?

Q&A - Personal

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I currently run 5 times per week. My runs consist of anywhere from 4-10 mile runs right now. Soon as the weather changes and I am not able to be outside I will begin training indoors. That will consist of mainly spin classes and swimming!

Why do you like this sport?

Next year will be my first season doing triathlons. Growing up I was a state swimmer and spent several years as a competitive mountain biker after high school. Currently I participate in several running events. The switch to Triathlons should be exciting and I can't wait for next spring to arrive!

Music?

When driving or sitting at home anything country is my prefered music. I do prefer to run with music though and it usually consists of Nickelback, Pantera, Metallica, Sublime, and anything else that is loud, fast and rocks!

What inspires you to compete?

My inspiration to compete is simply my own internal will to be successful. I know winning races isn't usually in my cards but as long as I go out and give it my all I am happy. Not to mention years in the United States Marine Corps. helped me to be tough and give it my all!
