[vc_empty_space height=”20px”]
What non-athlete would you most like to train with and why?
[vc_column_text css_animation=”slideInRight”]It would be fun to train with some of my family members and friends. I know that a lot of people are curious about triathlon, and interested in trying it out. It would be exciting to introduce them to the sport![/vc_column_text]
What food do you most wish was healthy but it’s not?
[vc_column_text]I love heavy carbs and starches, like fries.[/vc_column_text]
Other than swimming what's the one thing you know most about?
[vc_column_text]Treating tap water and wastewater to remove contaminants. I also know a lot about the bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract.[/vc_column_text]
Silicone or latex?
[vc_column_text]Silicone caps work best for my natural hair and protective styles.[/vc_column_text]
What about your personality makes you an athlete?
[vc_column_text]I’m a perfectionist and a hard worker. I love setting big goals, and working on the details along the way to accomplish my goals.[/vc_column_text]
How long have you been an athlete and where did you get your start?
[vc_column_text]I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember. I started-off playing team sports, like T-ball and soccer. Eventually, I joined a swim team and haven’t turned back since. I love all sports, especially swimming.[/vc_column_text]
Do you have any pre-game rituals or routines?
[vc_column_text]Pre-race, I usually like to spend some time relaxing. I listen to music, clear out the distractions, and make sure that everything is set-up and prepared for the race.[/vc_column_text]
What advice would you give to Black people who want to participate in races like this but don’t know where to begin?
[vc_column_text]Finding community is so important. It can be nice to share experiences and to encourage one another. There’s so much to learn, and finding a community of supporters can help you to navigate through the uncertainties, while lifting up each other in the process.[/vc_column_text]
