Sydney 2000 Summer OlympicsSydney 2000 Summer Olympics

Triathlon made it’s Olympic debut at the 2000 summer Olympics.

On that day, I watched Simon Whitfield of CanadA win the gold medal in triathlon.

A 1500m swim, 40km bike, and 10km run.

Ever since Sept. 17, 2000, I have lived and breathed the sport of triathlon, while staying competitive in distance running, and simon Whitfield became my life long hero and idol.

LifeguardingLifeguarding

ON top of training for triathlon and distance running, I spend a lot of my time in the summer working 40 hour weeks as a lifeguard at Wild Water Works.

SummarySummary

Basically, my life may be summed up into one quote. Funny enough, i found it on the back of a Starbucks cup years ago. It goes like this:

“Our lives are inspired by the dreams we have from the earliest days of our youths. When you combine passion and hard work, then success is always possible. While no road is ever straight, dedication and persistence will always lead you to your dreams.” (The way I see it #63).
