A typical track session for me. Taken in the spring of 2017 in Boulder
Sam's dream in life is to be able to support a family in triathlon while giving back to the community through personal training/coaching. The sport is very fulfilling to Sam as it teaches one about perseverance, belief, and is a great way to get to meet wonderful people. In addition, it is a beautiful form of expression. For Sam, triathlon is a glorious and noble journey that brings the best out of people. He is a hard worker and extremely determined to become the best in the sport. At the end of the day, Sam hopes to inspire others to be their true selves and have the courage to follow through with something they love. At age 22 Sam shows great potential in the sport with some big results already.
