My proudest achievement came last year during the Boeing classic track event where I placed 1st and 2nd in the 1200m and 800m events. I am also proud of my race in Wisconsin where I finished 39th.
My goals include getting on the podium this year, getting my fitness level up, and maintaining my health. I am also working on running a two minute 800m.
My favorite part about training is that feeling of improvement, and achieving something. I also enjoy the opportunities that have been made available to me such as meeting new people and seeing new places.
I started swimming lessons in Kindergarten, and from the moment I entered the pool, I knew I was meant to be in the water. I was naturally a strong kid but did not have the motivation to learn the technique. When I finished swimming lessons, there was nothing left for me to do, so I learnt how to ride my bike, and ran my first 5 kilometer race when I was 10 years old. I liked all three aspects of triathlon, which made me want to get involved in the sport, which is when I discovered the MTC team. When I had to make a decision to switch from playing baseball on my little league team to triathlon the answer wasn’t obvious at first. The decision soon became transparent when team sports were no longer an option for me. I started triathlon at the end of grade 5, and I ended up loving it. I felt the excitement in the sport, and have not looked back since.
