Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I'm a graduate student in the Physics department of Lehigh University, interested in doing more racing.

Profile

I am really a distance runner, and will probably always remain one, but for the challenge, fun, and excitement of trying something new, I'm switching to biking as a competitive sport for a while. After two races last summer, I'm hooked on the sport. I have plenty of cardio capacity from distance running, but my legs are little twigs and I need to work on developing speed and power. Fortunately I live on the side of a mountain.

Details

Hobbies: I've always loved flying model airplanes, rubber power F/F, radio control gas, and everything in between that moves through the air.
Gender: M
Strengths: I'm a decent long distance runner, I'm just getting started past 8 or 10k. I want to do longer stuff, like the Trans Rockies run, 125 miles through the Rocky Mountains. For now, I'm trying to develop more strength on the bike.

Personal Details

Education: Bachelors Degree
Occupation: Student
Employment Status: Student
Marital Status: Married
