TCSD Conversation by Craig Zelent

I had the pleasure recently of talking triathlon with the TCSD's Director of Sponsorships, Cory Gasaway.  I was thoroughly impressed with how professionally Cory handles his volunteer role for the club which is critical for us to continue and thrive.  I’m sure you will enjoy getting to know this husband, father, product manager, volunteer and Ironman Finisher.

This interview was with a real life saver.  Seriously!  I sat down and talked triathlon and search and rescue with the Tri Club’s own Mark Kenny.  Mark is a genuinely great guy who has risked his own life to help many people over the years.  I know you’ll thoroughly enjoy getting to know this Good Samaritan.

I had the honor recently of talking triathlon to Judi Carbary, a great lady who has been worth her weight in gold as the TCSD Youth Triathlon Coach. Judi has only lived in San Diego for a few years, but she has made a huge difference already. I wish we could clone a few more Judi’s!

This month I talked triathlon with TCSD member, DeeAnn Smith.  You will see that DeeAnn is a very special lady.  She is on the top step of the podium in more ways than one.

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.
