Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

AM: Pushed the jogging stroller down to the Forerunners aid station on the St. Anthony's course. The 10k section of the triathlon goes back into a beautiful, shady neighborhood, with lot of spectators and a 4th-of-July-in-April kind of feeling.

The girls didn't hand out water, but they did enjoy picking up discarded cups. A lot of parents and kids from our running group- great atmosphere.

I had a few minutes to catch up with Joe. He was 3rd in his age group at Boston, first American. We made a soft agreement to run Twin Cities this fall, but haven't signed the blood oath yet.

That's really a great event in St. Pete. There was a time when I attempted to do tri's. That one was always top shelf - both in competition and organization. One year, Richie roped me into doing just the swim leg on a relay team...with about 1 week's notice...Let's just say, he did the run leg much better than I did the swim.

Ha! That sounds fun. I was just support crew this time, but the previous two years I was in a relay doing the run leg. Richie was also on a team, and I'm sure you can imagine the smack talk that was going around.
