Last but certainly NOT least...now introducing, Joey Church!

Joey Church joins the One2Tri Racing team like may of the other team members - as a runner.  Joey began running at the age of 15 where he ran middle and long distance track and field in high school.  Throughout his college years, however, Joey replaced his track shoes with a certain popular college adult beverage, like many do.  About 6 years ago, Joey decided it was time to live a healthier lifestyle which led to triathlons in 2009.  Joey's preferred race distance is sprint triathlon but he's not afraid to admit he's looking to take the gold in the Beer Mile in 2011 (chug 1 beer every .25 miles) after coming home with a disappointing bronze in 2010.  Joey is also looking to improve incrementally in all three disciplines in 2011; he has re-introduced a structured workout regime for the first time since high school and is using the expertise of professional cyclist and One2Tri Racing's own, Robin Farina, for his bike skills.  


Joey attended college at UNC-Charlotte and currently lives in Uptown.  He has worked for Dassault Systems since 2004 in various positions and is currently in Technical Sales.
