Age: 27
Town: Washington
Previous participation: First
Goals: Probably to equal my Ironman Louisville time (10:15). Considering that the conditions in Kona are much tougher and more extreme, doing the same time would be quite an accomplishment.
What are you dreading? The Natural Energy Lab portion of the marathon — lonely, desolate, shadeless and hot.
What are you looking forward to after the race? I actually have one more race after Kona in my ’09 season — the 70.3 World Championship in mid-November — so offseason will have to wait a little while longer. But once that is over … as much coffee as I want whenever I want it.
