I have a lifelong passion of racing in various endurance sport races throughout the world. I continue to search for unique races to add to my race calendar each year. This year is my silver anniversary of racing (25 years). My specific interests include, triathlons, running races, cycling races, snowshoeing racing at various distances, including a focus on ultra distance events: Double, Quintuple, DECA Ironman, 100 mile and multi-day running events. The events, traveling destination memories and life-long friendships that I have experienced through the endurance racing community has been so valuable in my life.
The ongoing challenge we all experience is finding specific races throughout the world within each of our racing interests in one resource/website. The normal process is to search various websites, magazines, Google searches for specific races. The result is a time consuming process of searching and the goal of my company, RaceTwitch.com is to provide a solution to this “searching” problem. It is the online resource for the worldwide endurance community that provides one location to search and evaluate specific races within distinct disciplines. The uniqueness of RaceTwitch.com is the functionality of sharing registered users feedback from race reviews and specific recommended races based upon their interests and racing profile.
I want to share with the worldwide endurance sports racing community a value-based user-friendly race resource to enhance their experiences.
