My road to Kona began with a longtime dream to retire to the Big Island ...
Then I became a triathlete.
The official results have not yet been posted but that's what the video that Dave took of me finishing said. W00T!!!

Never did much sports as a kid but something about turning 40 transformed me. I started training in martial arts, running races and now I'm doing tris. It's never too late!
