I am running the Water Gap 50k ultramarathon in Milford, PA on September 12th and competing in IronMan 70.3 Boulder in August 2021.

4/10/20 Update: Blue Ridge has been cancelled. Registered athletes can either defer their registration to Blue Ridge 2021 or select from 5 other 70.3s happening later in the year. I've signed up.
