Get to Know David

Triathlon has been a great place to put my energy, focus, trauma, everything. The community is incredible. I get to have the best conversations with myself and others. Allows me to prove to myself how strong I really am.

I'd have to say racing in the infamous Norseman triathlon. Fighting that battle was pretty incredible.

For one, its a great product. But Beyond that its the people. You put a quality product behind a small family company and that's an awesome combo.

I love that I can record audio on my Tri 2 Pro with Playlist+ and jam out to music while I'm swimming without having to worry about losing connection. Its pretty awesome. And the RIPT Ultra is great for travel and a good strength training session. Between those two products, it'll keep you pretty well covered.

It depends on the session. If I'm in the pool for longer sets and going for distance, something chill to zone out to and just focus on being in the good conversations. If its a tempo or threshold session or doing weights, its something much more up beat with high energy.

It’s most impactful in the swim. If I'm doing threshold work with sprints then high energy music is to keep me pushing is perfect. I love to get into the music between sets and hype myself up. Another person in the pool saw me having fun and she started dancing in the pool with me. We just started having fun and it was all smiles.

The right music can create the right head space and keep you pushing through harder sessions. It’s super helpful!

Have fun. Be consistent and "Do the Work". Be a student and willing to not be good at first. That will come with time. But overall, just enjoy it.
