Swimming is my weakest discipline. So it makes perfect sense for me to sign up for a race that’s 25% longer than the swim in a full Ironman!

Coming off a serious injury, my biggest victory in Dallas wasn't my time...it was refusing to let a setback snowball into more.

Numb, shivering, and ready to quit on a lonely road. This is the story of how the race I almost gave up on became my fastest.

The day started with jumping into the 86º Ohio River, and that was just the beginning of the heat and humidity.

The race began with open water panic, but ultimately ended in my fastest Olympic distance triathlon ever.
