I have completed three seasons of training with Team in Training and raised over $8000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support cancer research. I trained for and ran my first marathon – the Napa Valley Marathon in March 2007 in 5h 26m 40s. Since then, I've completed 4 marathons, the most recent being the California International Marathon in 3h 51m 50s.
I'm an avid triathlete, and have participated in the Big Kahuna Half-Ironman triathlon in Santa Cruz, CA and the Santa Cruz Olympic Triathlon.
I created a website for first-time triathletes – http://i.willtri.com. It was intended to be a fundraising site, and although it wasn't successful in that goal, I learnt a few things about community building and fundraising.
