Occupation: Consultant

Recent Races: First time Ultraman. 2007 Ironman Switzerland, 2006 Ironman Western Australia, 2006 Vineman Ironman, dozens of half marathons and shorter triathlons in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia.

Entering UM because: I want to participate in Ultraman for two reasons.  The first is to take my endurance training a step beyond the standard “Ironman” distance and secondly to raise money for prostate cancer research—a disease that has plagued the male members of my family.
