About me

Location Stewartville, Minnesota, United States
Introduction I am an avid multi-sport athlete, focusing primarily on duathlons and running races at present. I did my first ever complete duathlon (sprint) in May 2010 and caught the "bug" (or some might say disease) after placing 5th with no formal run training. I decided then and there that running WAS possible with bad knees and started to seriously train for the rest of the season. With it being off-season, I continue to spend 8-12 hours in the gym/week training on cycling and running. My wife, Kathy, is a triathlete and has encouraged/arm-twisted me to start swimming as well. I plan to do so after racing season 2011. While training & races is a big part of my life, I have other interests as well. I enjoy spending time with my wife and "children" (Allie & Riley, both four legged children), doing outdoor activities, playing & watching sports and spending a great deal of time at my employer, Mayo Clinic.
