Jon first began running during medical school, during which he ran a personal best 26.2 of 2:51. Shortly after, he transitioned into triathlon, and at his first IM 70.3 finished in 4:52, during his first year of residency. Jon has since achieved a new 70.3 PB of 4:21 in 2023, qualifying for the IM 70.3 WC, which he credits to discipline, everyday nutrition, and physiology/metabolism science. Jon’s favorite race experience thus far was meeting/celebrating with members of the DC Elite Triathlon Team at the finish line, prior to his joining. He’s inspired to lift his ceiling and contribute his dedication & passion for excellence to the DC Elite Triathlon Team.
