Earlier this week I was surprised when I received notice from PowerBar that I had been selected to represent their Team Elite for 2012-2013. I'm beyond excited and can't wait for what lies ahead. I'll be using this space to talk about my training and nutrition, to encourage active and healthy lifestyles, and to share race reports.
A quick bit about me: I'm a 27 year-old triathlete from Grand Rapids, MI. I'm more of a distance racer than a sprinter, but that doesn't hold me back from mixing it up. My first Ironman (Wisconsin 2011) was a great accomplishment, but a crash in the weeks leading up to race day prevented me from reaching my initial goals, and subsequently has left me hungry and driven to go back attempt to qualify for Kona. I also race for a LBS, Cross Country Cycle in Holland, MI and am a member of the 616 masters water polo club.
