Why did you decide to Race For More this year with The IRONMAN Foundation?
It started as a way for my son and myself to get involved in fundraising for his first full IRONMAN. He will turn 18 in October and IMAZ of course is in November.
What has been your most successful method of fundraising thus far?
My most successful method of fundraising has been matching either $1 for $1 or $2 for $1 on a limited promotional basis to show my commitment in leading the charge.
Any “Words of Wisdom” for first-time IRONMAN Athletes?
Train. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Although you have 17 hours to finish, you don’t want to be out there that long.
What is something unexpected about yourself that may surprise your teammates?
I did not start running until 2009 at age 43. I did not start swimming until 2010 at age 44. I had my first child in 2012 at age 46. And now an entry into the IRONMAN World Championships in 2016 at age 50! #NeverTooLate
