How did you get started?
I got started in triathlon after coming to college in California. I already loved swimming and wanted to find a way to 'stay in shape'. It was a rough start, but eventually I found a great group to train with in San Luis Obispo, SLO Road Runners, under Coach Roger Warnes, and have been hooked ever since. I love the sport, the lifestyle, and the great people I've met along with the challenge!
