Help JB Run!

So what's this all about?

Hi,  Thank you for visiting my support blog!...

I'm Jeremy (or just call me JB) and I like to run, cycle, and compete in triathlons.

Manatee Bay / Miami ~JB

I've been competing for the past 4 seasons and have found it's a lifestyle that I hope to maintain well into my golden years, or as long as my body holds up to the demands of training/competition.

Initially, I funded my training/competing though wages earned in the mortgage service industry (ie, foreclosures/inspections), but quickly found I experienced little, to no, fulfillment from my role/position. 


I've decided to refocus my skills and go back to school for a degree in computer programming.

It is my hope that I can take my creativity, and knack for understanding conceptual overviews, and use it to help increase the quality/productivity of people's lives.

My primary focus being value added technologies for local and small businesses, as I feel their success is paramount to a healthy, recovering, and sustainable economy.

However, in order to give my studies the attention they deserve; I either must reduce my time training and competing to focus on studying and work, or find other sources of funding for expenses incurred during training, travel, and competition.

This is where I could use any help on-line/local community members would feel capable, or comfortable, providing.

Anything from direct funding, used gear donations, networking, or even just a couch to crash on when traveling to a distant race venue.


What are my credentials/accomplishments?

Nighttime Trail Half-Marathon (Kansas)

I've enjoyed competing in everything from; Sprint to Half-Iron Distance Triathlons  (I hope to complete a full Ironman distance in 2013/2014), Cycling Time Trials, Century Rides (100mi+),  Charity Running/Cycling Events, multiple 5k/10K/Half-Marathons, The 2012 Chicago Marathon (injured on-course but finished), and many others.



I've received Age-Group awards at several local/semi-local events and it's my goal to keep getting faster.
