2008 Objectives:

- Complete 2 Half IM's, including Half Max

- Compete in an off-road tri

- Diversify my training with mountain biking and trail running

- Support team in winning another Club Team National Championship

Favorite Race: Anything promoted by Ultramax...their events run so smoothly

Admirable Athlete: Steve Leivan (local pro dirt bike racer) - He's one of the most dedicated and focused people I've ever met.

Unique information or story about you: I grew up racing dirt bikes with my dad. When I moved to California, I started doing tri's instead. Now that I'm back in Kansas City I do both, which means I have a hard decision to make every weekend...dirt bike, road bike, or mountain bike???

Most embarassing (race) moment: Projectile vomitting as I crossed the finish line at Octomax. I have a sensitive stomach so getting sick after going hard on the run isn't abnormal. I just don't like doing it in front of 100 people.
