I got to talk triathlon with the TCSD’s most recent World Champion Kyle Hummel.  It will blow your mind to hear what Kyle has gone through just to be able to walk around like a normal guy.  He has come so far to become the Ironman 70.3 World Champion for the men’s 30-34 age group.  He is an awesome athlete who really appreciates the gifts he has been blessed with.  I know you will enjoy getting to know Kyle.

I had the pleasure recently of chatting triathlon with TCSD Ambassador Andrew Shore.  Andrew actually started a triathlon club when he lived on the east coast so he brings a wealth of knowledge to our club.  And this dude can swim like a fish!

I recently had the opportunity to talk triathlon with a guy who has no fear.  Jay Lewis is not afraid to try anything.  Jay is not afraid to try any sport or change careers and he certainly has not been afraid to get involved in a leadership role with TCSD.  Please join me and get to know Jay!

I had the very rewarding opportunity recently to talk triathlon with Kat Gunsur.  Kat wears a lot of triathlon hats including that as the TCSD’s Social Media Director.  She is a huge part of the process that puts us on the map and gives our club world-wide visibility.  Kat is also very focused on helping others as you will see by her work with Team Challenge.

This month will be a unique TCSD Conversation as I posed 3 different questions to our members who ran the 2014 Boston Marathon.  I have conducted well over 100 of these interviews since 2002 and this is one of my favorites.  I hope you will enjoy their answers.

Rachel (Gordon) Wills is one of the fastest swimming triathletes on the planet.  Rachel has been a huge help to many of our members through her swim coaching and her work at Moment Bicycles.  We are lucky to have this Fighting Sioux as one of our club members and friends.
