How long have you been involved in endurance sports and what motivates you?
What motivates me is a desire to find out what I am capable of. My favorite quote is by T.S. Elliott who says “Only those who will risk going too far will find out how far one can go.” I have been doing endurance sports since grade school. I joined the track team when I was eleven and a classmate said there was no way I could run a mile. I took that as a challenge and became a distance runner … since I always seem to be the best distance runner in the neighborhood growing up. My first real endurance event was a one hour walk/jogathon in 1981. It was on a track at the local high school in Federal Way, Washington. I ran the whole time and did 7.25 miles tying the other top runner. I was only 12 at the time and promptly threw up on the track after the run.
