"After two years as a member of the Fortius Racing Team I have achieved more than I ever thought possible. I successfully completed the inaugural Ironman Texas event this past year after recovering from an injury at the Puerto Rice 70.3 just 2 months earlier that almost ended my year. Thanks to the support and guidance of this team I was able to pull it together enough to finish my first full Ironman event with plenty of time to spare. One of the greatest thing about this group is that we are not just teammates but also great friends. We support each other as no other group I have ever been affiliated with and we prove that to the new folks all the time."
This year Tom is entering completely new territory by training for his first ultra running events--a 50k in February and a 50 miler in August. All of that will lead to his first multi-day ultra event, the Transrockies Run in August. Oh and there is this little thing called Ironman Arizona at the end of the year which will give Tom a shot at finishing a full Ironman in the manner originally planned.
