What do you enjoy about Team Kman: A chance to 'run with the pack'- a group of non- whiners that love to exercise for fun AND excess, engage in both the spirit of health and friendly competition, that love to cook and eat, and, most of the time, would rather be out there doing it than sitting around talking about it.
Other interests/hobbies: Reading, Scuba and free diving, flying, poetry, acoustic music (listening), stock dog training, playing with computers (love/hate), white water rafting,
Favorite Place(s): Southwest Colorado, Cozumel, San Juan Islands, Kauai, Mt. Diablo (bike), Ebbett's and other challenging road bike rideable passes.
A Goal(s): To lead a group swim around an island- say, for instance, one of the islands near Bora Bora in French Polynesia
Brag Box: I read medical textbooks, cover to cover, one right after another. If I had any retention left whatsoever, I would probably be smart by now.
Other Cool Tidbits..
Swam Varsity for Cal Poly Pomona in 1968 at age 16
Had only one sick day off school from kindergarten through high school
I like flying and I like bike riding. I do not like flying while bike riding
I do not drink. It's not that I don't like alcohol, just that I fulfilled my life's quota over 15 years ago
Lastly.....I never realized how much I liked climbing 'til I was already over the hill.
