Podium at an Ironman 70.3 Regional Championship, win two Ironman 70.3 races and set some bike course records!

Almost winning my first full distance event at Ironman Canada.
What did you learn in 2015 that you will carry with you into 2016?
You can go much, much harder than you might imagine for an Ironman race. That knowledge will inform a lot of my decisions on racing and training.

Win a full distance Ironman event.
What is one New Year’s resolution you have 2016, that’s not triathlon-related?
In 2016 I will have higher expectations of myself and lower expectation of others. At the same time, I will pay attention to mowing my own lawn and worry less about how other people are doing it.

I want to be standing on Copacabana Beach in August, preferably with a sport drink in my hand, ready to race.
What is one New Year’s resolution you have 2016, that’s not triathlon-related?
I want to learn to surf. Not only will I enjoy it, I think it may help my case with the ladies.
