I am a believer in nutrient timing and supplementation, through 8Zone. I love eggs, apples, wild fish, leafy greens, brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, home grown Washington Potatoes, and cooking with coconut and olive oils.

I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn't want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.

I love to shop. Clothes, electronics, and I love jewelry, especially yellow gold.

My first car was a Toyota 4Runner when I was 17. I paid for it myself. I was very happy.

Winning does not always mean coming in first...real victory is in arriving at the finish line with no regrets because you know you've gone all out.

If I have given my all and still do not win, I haven't lost. Others might remember winning or losing; I remember the journey.

It's an individual sport, but collectively everybody shares the same motto that Ironman stands for: anything is possible.
