How I became a Triathlete

I ran track in college - 800m and 1500m. When those events were not taking me to the Olympics, I decided to switch to triathlon in 2004. I thought I knew how to swim since I grew up on an island and I used to ride my bike every where. Little did I know, that did not prepare me for what I was about to embark upon. My family was supportive, but thought I was two shades from crazy to take on two more sports to my routine. However, they were there from the very beginning supporting me when I drifted off course during my first competitive swim.

Now five years later, my swim has improved tremendously, the biking has gotten better and I am dominant in the run. Further, I am on a quest to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London. It would be sort of a homecoming when I make it -- to compete in the country where I was born but never lived. So keep checking back for updates on my progress and with your support, I can go all the way!!
