2013 Racing and ONE Elite Team

2012 was a breakthrough year – Boston Marathon, Ironman 70.3 World Championship, placing at a WTC 70.3 Ironman, and a sub 3 hour marathon. I couldn’t be happier with my improvements across the board.  I’m going back to Ironman distance in 2013.  I’m all in at Ironman Canada with one goal on my mind — Kona.   Gonna throw it down in 2013.

I’m also very happy to announce that I was recently selected to be a member of ONE Elite for 2013! ONE Multisport is one of the premiere triathlon clubs in Arizona with 230 members (and counting!).  This group consists of all levels of triathletes. ONE’s involvement in the triathlon community is incredible. If you’re not a part of ONE Multisport and you’re a triathlete, you’re totally missing out.  From our weekly group workouts, fully-catered events, countless sponsors, fun meetings and notable guest speakers, post race massages, team camaraderie, and unlimited donuts after races, joining ONE was an easy decision for me. The girls ain’t so bad either.  It’s huge honor to represent ONE as a 2013 Elite member!

WE ARE ONE ELITE.
