A Brief Introduction & Special Announcement

Welcome to my 2010 Team Duke Web Page....

Hi - You may already know me and that may be why you are here visiting my Team Duke web page. If you don't know me, you can learn more about other (non Team Duke related parts of my life by visiting http://oisc.net/donn_m.htm

Basically, I am an Optical Engineer who does a lot of educational outreach to help teach children of all ages about science. But I also love the outdoors and like to swim, ride my bike and run, so I started doing triathlons and learned about Team Duke.

I think the JWCF and JWCI is doing a great job and like the concept of helping a small little known group get a bit more exposure.

Six (6) Completed Triathlons for 2009 - Done 3 so far in 2010 - Looking to do three (3) more in 2010

In 2009 completed six (6) triathlons and in 2010 my goal is to do it again with an aim to kick it up a notch. The 2009 races were (and the 2010 races will be - except for the first one):

Training for Donn & making donations

For 2010, I have switched from LA Fitness to 24 Hour Fitness to do Tues & Thurs. morning spin classes and some weight lifting at the Irvine Spectrum gym and then focus from the Aliso Viejo Agassi 24 Hour Fitness for my pool swims (nice outdoor pool) and bike rides in Aliso Woods Canyons.

I'll also continue to run into Laguna Canyon by my home and go to Big Corona Del Mar Beach and swim a mile, then ride my bike up and down Coast Hwy between CDM and Laguna Beach, then run up and back then length of Crystal Cove Beach. Its all great fun and you can join me anytime.

Then whatever else I can fit in during the week. A morning here, an after work there. I also like ocean swims, but only when there are other people around.

Sometimes I help out at triathlon clinics with Martha and her crew from Tri La Vie and Velocity Triathlon Training. http://www.trilavie.com/ & http://www.velocitytriathlon.com


If you would like to make a donation, please do so - its easy and for a great cause.

Thanks for visiting My Team Duke Website.

All the Best,

Donn
