TCSD Conversation by Craig Zelent

It’s not every day that we get to hear from the reigning Ironman World Champion, but today is one of those special days.  I know you will enjoy this conversation with TCSD member Susanne Davis who won the women’s 40-44 age group at this year’s Hawaiian Ironman to go along with her USA Triathlon National Championship.

 I recently got to talk triathlon with Tri Club member Kosuke Amano. Our conversation left me 100% impressed. Kosuke has come a long way in his life and has achieved many great things, but he remains grounded and humble. I know you will enjoy getting to know this great guy.

I had the good fortune to talk triathlon with the TCSD’s one and only Julie Dunkle.  Please join me as we get to know this great athlete who is humble enough to recognize that she would not have advanced as far in triathlon and as quickly without the benefits offered by our great club and its members.

This month I had the pleasure of talking triathlon with Debbie Wittich, the TCSD Expo Coordinator.  Debbie does a great job of helping the TCSD put its best foot forward at all the local expos.  That initial contact is often the critical step in attracting new members.  I’m certain you will enjoy getting to know this special lady.

This month I caught up with the TCSD’s very popular Brian Maiorano. I really admire Brian on so many levels and was grateful for the chance to get to know him better. He has given so much to our local triathlon community so he is definitely someone you need to know.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting TCSD member Lars Finanger. Lars is everything triathlon! But he’s also a great, down to earth guy. I know you’ll be entertained by reading of his many diverse experiences racing triathlons and making the sport we love his career.

I have wanted to do this interview for a long time. Life finally slowed down enough for me to sit down and talk triathlon with former TCSD President, Thomas Johnson. It was worth the wait. I hope you’ll enjoy the story behind the man who very successfully steered our club’s course over the past couple of years.
