	What is your favorite product available at TriSports.com? You ever have a t shirt that just fits you perfectly? That’s how my Trisports.com t shirt is to me. I have about 7 of them!!

	If you could have one superhero power what would it be? To run fast!!!

	Describe your biggest race disaster. 2005 Ironman Florida – I went too hard on the bike and up the last high rise bridge at mile 100. I felt a sharp pain in my thigh and I ended up partially tearing two of my quad muscles in my right leg.

	What culinary indulgence do you allow yourself after a big race (that you don’t normally partake of)? I don’t usually restrict my diet too much. I eat more candy afterwards though.

		Finally, do you have any advice for athletes new to multi-sport competition? Recovery and sleep are just as important as everything else in your training ritual.
