"2011 was my first year as a Fortius athlete and it turned out to be my best racing year to date. I accomplished numerous PR’s and improved tremendously throughout the year. For 2012, I hope to do the same. One of my goals in 2011 was to learn to swim competitively, which I have done. As a result, I have signed up for my first Half Ironman, which takes place in July. I am a triathlon rookie (completed only one to date; finished 1st in my AG) and am both nervous and excited for the training and racing leading up to Vineman 70.3. I hope to qualify for 2013 Duathlon World Championships this year, as well as, continuing to PR and podium at large races throughout the season. I look forward to another successful year with Gerardo and my Fortius Team!"
