How did you get your start in Triathlons?     had a huge fight with my so called "best friend" and needed to release aggression; swimming, biking and running works great for that

What is your favorite workout?     strangely, I really like running intervals. Feels terrible while I'm doing it but once it's done...heavenly...

“When I’m not training/racing, I enjoy…” reading and eating 

If you could train for a week with one other triathlete who would it be and why?  Samantha McGlone; I really like her personality; she seems to be real nice; and maybe, just maybe she could help me to get a tiny bit faster...

If you could have one superhero power what would it be?   hmm, that's a weird one...not sure, would be great if I could transport myself to any place I like. Breakfast in Europe, lunch in Australia and for Dinner back in Tucson. Yep, that would be nice.

Describe your biggest race disaster.  I got lucky so far; I've only had one flat in many, many races. So, no real disaster..yet 

Do you have a non-negotiable pre-race ritual?  COFFEE

What culinary indulgence do you allow yourself after a big race (that you don’t normally partake of)?  Fish and Chips followed by a king size Snickers 

Have you ever accidentally destroyed a very expensive piece of gear? (For example, have you driven into the garage with a bike on the roof, run over race wheels, etc.)  nope, not yet 

What is the worst job you’ve ever had?  counting little bugs and their eggs on leafs; crop science crap

What adjective describes you best?  Ambitious 

Finally, do you have any advice for athletes new to multi-sport competition? It's all about having FUN!
