Sign up and we'll figure it out

We’re not tall, fast, or super skinny.  We won’t break any records or even come close to going pro.  In anything athletic.  But we push ourselves.  We set goals, work hard, and do what it takes to meet them. And along the way, we’ve created some wonderful memories and have had so much fun.

Tara never swam a lap in a pool until she was 24 years old and never dreamed of climbing mountains until well into her 20’s.  Schuyler grew up climbing and hiking but never amounted to much of an athlete.  But when we met, our interests and strengths merged and we began our adventure.  Every year our activities get more and more interesting… or you could say challenging.  After dabbling in climbing, backpacking, and cycling, in 2010 Tara got sick of hearing Schuyler talk about how cool it would be to do an Ironman and just told him to ‘sign up and we’ll figure it out.’  Schuyler had swam in high school (over 10 years ago), commutes to work on his bike, but never ran a day in his adult life due to horribly painful shin splints.  At first he thought Tara was joking, but she wasn’t.  So, Schuyler signed up.  And a year later after hundreds of hours of training, working closely with a physical therapist, and eating right, he became an Ironman.  Ever since Schuyler crossed that finish line we’ve been hooked.  Along the way we’ve discovered we love helping others realize their potential just as much as we love realizing our own.  You may think Tara’s suggestion is crazy, but trust us, if you put your mind to it – it works.  ‘Sign up and we’ll figure it out’.

Oh, and just so you know, Tara too, has since become an Ironman.
