I joined BT on June 1, 2005 with a desire to do my first triathlon. I couldn't run a mile and came here because of the Couch to 5k run program. I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish, but found a group of people that were encouraging and welcoming.

Not only did I do my first triathlon on October 16, 2005, but I've finished a total of 22 races. I've logged 2,240.41 miles of biking, 935.57 miles of running, and 241,608 meters of swimming. I've met a ton of great people through this journey and hope I haven't made too many people angry in the process.

I would like to be able to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, but I know I would forget someone. Suffice to say, THANK YOU to all of the people who have helped, encouraged, and challenged me, THANK YOU to the people who make me laugh and smile on a daily basis and THANK YOU to all of the people who have made this site and are a part of this site.

I feel like I've conquered so much and have a lot left to conquer.

And, as promised, here is some cake and ice cream in celebration.
