TEAM PLAYER:
FAVE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT:
BUCKET LIST:
I work out with Grind City Cycling & Black Men Run.
In 2015, I ran my first marathon during St. Jude Marathon Weekend, and I cycled my first 100 miles this October 2020 on the Tanglefoot Trail.
Run a half marathon in all 50 states.
MULTI-SPORT: I had left and right heel sprains which reduced my running, and that’s how I discovered cycling.
2020 CHALLENGES: I found three events to participate in— CHF Race for Hope 5K (placed like 7th overall); Bikes, Blues & Bayous Ride; and Grind City Cycling Paint The Streets Pink, which was an awesome fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness. 38
GEAR MUST-HAVES:
PET PEEVE: Wet socks and wet feet are the worst— period.
I love my Garmin Forerunner 235 watch and Edge 830 computer. Never leave home without my Road ID.
SPIRIT ANIMAL:
BEST EATS:
MOTTO:
Central BBQ—I love the smoked chicken wings.
The rabbit because, like me, it’s fast, has low curiosity, and is a quiet talent. Train insane!
