 Worst Finishes: There is nothing to tell.  I don't have any "worst" comments about the sport of triathlon…its all good!

 Favorite Race(s): One's where it' s sunny and everyone is in the mood to party at the finish!

 Funniest thing that has happened to you during a race: An old guy I dropped during the run pleaded with me to run just in front of him because he needed the feeling that came with the view.  He was saying, "Don't go, please don't go…!"  He was pretty old and I was laughing all the way to the finish.

 One piece of advice:  Believe, believe, believe!

 Big race(s) of the year: Regionals (Colorado this year, right?)

 Favorite After Race recovery food: Advocare POS4 shake Vanilla Nut

Best excuse for a bad performance: Distracted by the scenery and was having a dream involving competitor number so-and-so and a remote island off the coast of central South America sans racewear. 

Favorite Training routine: start at Riverpoint S&W and ride on the path east along Paseo del Norte to Jefferson, south to Montano, west to Coors back to Riverpoint; run 3 miles out and back along Paseo and swim 1400 at Riverpoint in the outdoor pool…then tan and read a magazine.
