I am an Elementary School Teacher by professioin and have been teaching for 14 years.  I started swimming competitively at the age of 7 and swam until I was 21.  During that time I also received my 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo and competed around the world winning 4 National Titles.  I also became an Ametuear Kickboxer and had 37 fights with a record of 37-0 (with 30 knockouts).  Triathlons are my new passion and I became an IRONMAN ( 4km swim / 180km Bike / 42.2 km run) in August of 2010!!!!
