Name: Mark Tooker

Age: 33

Personal: : I am employed at Caterpillar as an Electrical Engineer. I am married to my wonderful wife Andrea and we just had our first child, Alexandra. Like most middle age cubicle workers, endurance sports is a fun way to stay in shape and burn off the stress of work.

Athletic experience/accomplishments: My athletic background started with a solid foundation of High School golf and bowling. From there, I joined the military and learned to run and do push-ups. Since then, I have continued to find new races and challenges. I have completed 7 Marathon’s, 2 Ironman’s and a 24hr adventure race. I have gracefully settled into my role as a middle of the pack finisher. With the exception of cycling, I am a strong believer of the slow and steady principle.

2009 Goals: Due to the recent birth of Alexandra, I will be limited to a handful of local Olympic distance tri’s and the Wednesday night hammerfest at Reality Bikes.
