Get to know Deborah

I was an avid runner and cyclist at a young age. I set a goal to become an Ironman. When I did my first triathlon in 2018, I fell head over heels in love with the sport.

My goal for my first Ironman was just to finish. I finished overall amateur female, qualifed for World Championships in Kona, and earned my professional license thru USAT. I spent one more year as an amatuer, won Galveston 70.3, was second Overall at Ironman Nice, won my AG again at 70.3 worlds, and went to Kona a second time. This set me up to start my first year as a professional Triathlete in 2023.

I've tried a few waterproof headphones over the years, but they always lacked “something”. When I discovered the Playlist+ feature of H2O Audio, I had to try them. I was immediately impressed with the sound quality, volume, and durability of H2O Audio.

Training for an Ironman can require 20+ hours per week. I rely on music for the longest and toughest days. H2O Audio helps me bring that to all three sports and now with the ability to leave the cell phone at home!

I listen to a wide range of music, depending on my mood. I enjoy upbeat music, with a faster tempo for higher intensity workouts. Many times I'll just use DJ on Spotify.

I recently used H2O headphones for a bike race in the mountains, the Mount Baker Hill Climb. I downloaded my race day playlist and didn't have to worry about service or bringing my cell phone. The sound is great, plus these are bone conducting so I could still hear fellow riders around me. I won Overall Female for the second time.

Music is life!
