I am have been a triathlete, open water swimmer, marathon runner, ultramarathon runner, cyclist for over 10 years now. With my child hood up upbringing in athletics I can say I have trained all my life for triathlon. I race in mostly long distance triathlons now, mostly ironman races. As I fill out this application I am sitting in my hotel room getting ready for Ironman California tomorrow. I have a confirmed registration for Kona Ironman world championships 2022. As long as the world championship will be in Kona next October I will race in Kona. I am also a long distance open water swimmer who has completed the triple crown of marathon open water swimming (English Channel, Catalina Chanel, Manhattan island marathon swim). I regularly qualify for the Boston Marathon and last year I was planning on running Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon until the pandemic hit and shut racing down. I am excited to get back into racing now that the pandemic is better under control and racing starts again. I used to have a public twitter, strava, facebook and instagram account and I used to have a blog triathlonMD where I wrote and posted my career as a triathlete and endurance athlete from a perspective of being a physician. I shut those accounts and blogs down when my first child was born and I just could not keep up with the posts and maintain the accounts. Now that my children are older I am planning on starting back up with posting on public social media accounts. I used to be quite prolific with my posts. Jointing a team will give me the incentive to restart all those accounts and I look forward to joining and promoting the team.
