Race: Ironman Austria
Why: Austria is where Arnold got his start and he’s my idol

Motivation: Why TNT? My father is currently in remission from Leukemia, and we owe his life to a Leukemia research facility in North Carolina. Why TNT Ironteam? I can’t think of a better way to meet great people, get and feel fit, and contribute to a cause that I feel so strongly about.

Favorite tri gadget/gear items: Anything I don’t already own
Favorite Books: Mysteries (I’m a sucker for the classics like Agatha Christie) and the occasional non-fiction
Favorite Movies: Wide range - Airplane, Naked Gun, Primal Fear, 10 Things I Hate about You, The Shining, nearly all of the classics, and off-the-wall foreign or film-festival-type flicks
Favorite Songs/Artists: Eclectic mix – I still listen mainly to the radio (KFOG) on my commute from SF to San Jose so that I get a surprise sampling
Favorite Workout Songs: “Paint it Black” (Rolling Stones), “Somebody Told Me” (The Killers), “I Want it All” (Queen), “Kodachrome” (Paul Simon); Anything peppy by Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, or similarly cheesy ‘80’s artist
