Matt Dodds | USA
I"am a collegiate triathlete at the University of Minnesota. I enjoy the longer distance races, particularly 70.3, but am focusing on Olympic racing for now. I am a strong bike to run triathlete. I ran cross-country and track in high school and a lot of that fitness has carried over into my tri racing.
City: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Country: USA
Discipline: Triathlon
My non-triathlon interests include beer, red bull, and Nordic skiing. (Even though I don't have a whole lot of time for any of these activities). When I'm not training, I am usually studying. My major is Mechanical Engineering, and right now I am searching for an internship.
