I got my first taste of triathlon after I moved here with my wife and kids from Canada, where we lived in Montreal. I competed in the Saint Louis Tri and completed two 70.3 races that year. After that I was hooked. I have been running my whole life, but swimming and biking have been something that I have learned a lot about recently
