| About Me: |
I always thought I was a reasonably fit squash player at Worldgate, having won some tournaments along the way. Then I was a volunteer for the Reston Triathlon in 1998, and that hooked me. Did my first one a year later, first Eagleman in 2001, first IM in 2003. No matter how hard I train and try, I never leave the middle of the pack. |
| What I do to pay the bills: |
In-house Counsel to The Mills Corporation |
| Who defends the ranch when I'm out training: |
Yellow Lab 1 (Cody) and Yellow Lab 2 (Roscoe), supervised by Wife 1 (Melissa). |
| Short term triathlon goals: |
PR Eagleman and Reston in 2005 |
| Long term triathlon goals: |
Keep on keepin' on - healthily and happily. |
| Fantasy triathlon goals: |
Hawaii |
| Three favorite albums: |
What's the Story Morning Glory? - Oasis
Greatest Hits 1994-2004 - 311
Gaucho - Steely Dan
|
| Favorite book: |
American: "The Women on the Porch" - Caroline Gordon
British: "A Handful of Dust" - Evelyn Waugh |
| Favorite movie: |
"Endless Summer" (the original)
"American Graffiti" |
| Chocolate: |
On my cookbook shelf (really): "365 Chocolate Treats" and "Quick Chocolate Fixes" |
| Garlic: |
It's in 50% of my blood and on 80% of the food I eat. |
| Blue Cheese: |
Don't "get" it; never have. |
| For breakfast, I usually have: |
Breakfast 1 (before workout): English muffin.
Breakfast 2 (after workout): Bowl of Fiber One cerel, topped w/ a large dose of blueberries or strawberries, and skim milk. 8 oz. Orange Juice |
| After a long day of training, my favorite meal is: |
"Long" being 5+ hours: always seem to come back to the Chipotle chicken burrito. Must be a "sodium" thing. |
| My best triathlon advice is: |
Think seriously about a coach. Plan your training and racing; train and race your plan...but, be sure to lift your head up and look around, as the scene and people are the life of the party. |
| My best non-triathlon advice is: |
Everything happens for a reason...
...and, oh yeah, listen to Steve Smith when he says, "kill your TV." Doing that automatically buys you alot more time to live. |
| What was I thinking when I signed up for my first race: |
I'll just do one... |
| Everything I need to know I learned from: |
Experience. |
| My deepest, darkest secret is: |
No way; not until I get to know you alot better. |
