Story Behind The Book
I have skied on the snowy cap of Mauna Kea, been thumped by the pounding surf of the North Shore, climbed up the face of the Ko’olau mountains, gone sky diving over the Wai’anae mountains, been scuba diving off the reefs of Cocoa Head, run the Honolulu Marathon and participated in a variety of triathlons and races across Oahu. To this day, my most memorable, motivating and inspirational time in Hawaii was watching the men and woman race in The Ironman World Championship.
There are hundreds of novels dramatizing many great sports. My hope is that this story can show the greatness of triathlons, a glimpse of human nature and strength of the human spirit.
Everyone has a dream. Not everyone has the courage to act on it.

Triathlete Magazine<br />"Written in a fast-paced, breathless style, dynamic action scenes move the story forward with gusto—readers can almost hear highly charged background music during key moments." Kirkus Review<br />“Know Regrets takes you on a mental and physical roller coaster that we all feel when chasing something important.” Karen Smyers - Ironman Champion
