How did you get into the sport? I heard about the "Fountain Mountain Triathlon" in 1982 while I was a 14 year old competitive swimmer and it sounded interesting, so I gave it a try. “Training" consisted of biking 2 miles to and from school every day, my regular swimming workouts, and then riding the bike course once before the race.  I've raced in triathlons off and on since then.
Other sports: Swimming, running, windsurfing, sailing
What keeps you motivated? Trying to race like I'm still 25...
