triathlon for ankylosing spondylitis

For my senior project in High School, I trained for a Ironman 70.3 Triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run) to raise awareness and funds for Ankylosing Spondylitis, a chronic, underrepresented disease. I raised over $19,000 for the Spondylitis Association of America and successfully finished the 70.3 miles in Austin, Texas on October 27th, 2013.
