Athletes Profile - Sonny
Occupation: Architect
Personal: Happy father with awesome buddy baby and my high school sweetheart for a wife! We volunteered at a half iron event and my wife decided that I could do it. That following year I did! I went from a non-swimming weekend warrior who followed a buffalo wing binge eating recovery meal to a Gu chomping Ironman triathlete. Ahh…i miss those wing days! My son’s first words included ‘bike’ and in between Elmo and Baby Einstein he watches Ironman shows before he goes nite-nite.
Why you chose “Tri With Sway”: She showed genuine interest and enthusiasm in helping me achieve my goals. Coach Sway’s understanding that there is life beyond triathlon makes scheduling training much easier. In a short amount of time I can tell that I am improving through all disciplines.
Why you are participating in endurance sports: To be fit, to challenge myself, and inspire my family and friends.
Accomplishments: IMFL, FL 70.3, Great FL Half, St. Ant’s, Rock ‘n Rollman Half, assorted sprints in various flavors and colors.
Something interesting about yourself: Ironman, specifically Kona, was a goal on my ‘list of things to do’ even before I ever did a triathlon.: Ironman World Championship Kona – finish faster than I think I can.
