Tony is a 38 year old Masters racer from Kingsport, Tennessee. He has a wife, son and two daughters. When not on his bike or with his family Tony spends time working in Cable Television Management. He races with the Tri-Cities Road Club in Tennessee and played mainly team sports growing up. He started racing after riding recreationally for about 10 years. 2008 is actually his first season racing. After reading numerous books and articles about training he realized that accessing someone with years of experience racing and training to give him objective professional feedback was probably a very good idea. He called Coach Cummings in June of this year. In that short time Tony feels he has already realized how ineffective his previous training was and feels he was wasting a large amount of time in the saddle. He also feels the relationship has already taught him more about periodization and the importance of recovery. His major goals include breaking the hour mark at the 40km TT distance and a high placing in the 2009 District Time Trial.
