Triathlons

I started to get into triathlons when my advisor was in better shape than I was. I'm supposed to be at the peak of my youth and he can beat me in swimming, biking, and running. I'm not one to back down to an opportunity to improve, academic or physical. I started training and did my first Olympic triathlon in Sept 2011. Just recently, I finished the Mooseman Triathlon which was a 70.3. My goal is to have two full Ironman triathlons under my belt before I finish my PhD degree.

Scuba Diving

I'm in search of a beautiful mermaid and delicious lobsters. So far I have only been to find the latter and have only stayed the equivalent of two days under water.

Snow Boarding

It is scary to think that I'm barreling down a mountain at an average speed of 45 mph and a top speed of 60 mph with nothing but a snowboad a helmet and some padding. My goal is to see if by coating the snowboard better, or with a new polymer I can go an average of 55 mph and top speed of 70 mph. I want to know that I can go faster, but also stop safely.
