More About Me

I enjoy many kinds of outdoor activities, and admire those who hike, climb, kayak, …, to explore the great lands everywhere. My longest race distance I've finished so far was an IRONMAN 70.3 race in Racine, WI in July 2015. Definitely an experience mixing with fun, obstacles, and unforgettable moments!
