Age: 44
Town: Chantilly
Previous participation: First time.
Goals: Besides just finishing strong?! Ideally, I am hoping to finish somewhere around 11 hours, 30 minutes.
What are you dreading? The swim start — the 2.4-mile distance isn’t the hard part, but 1,800 triathletes all at once is a real challenge!
What are you looking forward to after the race? Spending some quality time with my family and friends on Oahu the week after the race. My wife was born and raised there — we met when I lived there from 1995 to 2000.
