A:  Jason Gardner, Glens Falls

A:  41

A:  Wine & Spirits sales consultant

A:  This is my third year

A:  First season with Coach Kevin

A:  Fronhofer Tool Tri. I always have my best times at this race!

A:  My guru Crono bike, however my new Sucony shoes are a close second.

A:  I was never much of an athlete growing up, so I would have to say every time I cross the finish line of a triathlon whether it be a Sprint, Olympic, or Half is a career highlight for me.

A:  Finish Ironman Lake Placid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A:  To keep competing and learning how to get better and faster, and most of all to enjoy myself while doing those things.

A:  Potato chips (can't pack a lunch without them) Turkey breast, Condiments, I love to add stuff to food, just ask my family how long it takes me to prepare the chinese food when it gets delivered.

A:  Dave Mathews Band, Counting Crows, Josh Groban, Metalica, Garth Brooks, Pink (don't laugh), lot's of Les mills fitness music tracks, just about everything.

A:  I don't have a speciality yet. I really like the Olympic distance though.

A:  Hire a coach and save yourself a lot of wasted time trying to figure out how or when or what to train.

A:  Take a Red Bull and shake the crap out of it and put it in a sports bottle a couple of dys before the race. Drink right before your race, it's a good rush without the bubbles when it's flat and it won't upset your stomach.

A:  I don't know if I have a favorite? I like the Monday night rides, but I really enjoy the 3 - 4 hour rides that I can pick a different route to ride. And if Joe or John are reading this they will say I'm lying but I kind of like the Aerobic runs. I know I've always said I hate to run but I'm learning to like it.

A:  I can honestly say this sport has probably saved my life. I don't think sitting on the couch smoking was doing me any good. I've never felt better or been in better shape. I have also met some of the greatest friends I have ever had in my whole life. I hope to share many more years of swimming, biking and running with a great group of people. Thank you Kevin for giving me some direction and discipline in my training that has proven to work with great results.
