Kevin Everett : Professional Triathlete, Cat 3 Road

2010 SEASON

Embarking on the 2010 season and entering my 5^th season as a professional triathlete is exciting for me. The transformation is almost complete to where I can consider myself a well-rounded triathlete, the one missing piece being a solid run. After seven years of searching for it, I believe it’s here. Being 34 years old and still improving at this level gives me a wonderful mix of feeling like 18 while having the wisdom of someone much older. Train smart for triathlons and you too will find the fountain of youth. It’s in all of us.

2009 was monumental on many fronts, starting a new career at the beloved Downtown Boise YMCA being one of them. I’ve always wanted to be a coach but was lured into the I.T. world out of college. After 10 years getting intimate with my pc for much of my day…this job has been a breath of fresh air. Not only do I get to coach the Boise Y TriClub (150 members) but I’m also heading up a burgeoning Masters/adult swim program. This job falls right in line with my core values and being a part of an active community improving its body, mind, and soul.

That’s a big deal but pales in comparison to the fact that Hortense and I are expecting our first child on July 20^th 2010. Here we go!

Here is my 2010 schedule

As I enter what I truly believe will be my most successful triathlon season ever, I am in need of a sponsor. For the past five years as a professional triathlete, I have been sponsored by either Tamarack /Wild Rockies and also last year in France by the Saint Jean du Monts team. I have shown 100% commitment and loyality to my sponsors and look forward to continuing this.

I had a strong year last year, with a 12^th place finish at the US Open in the Olympic Distance, some great races in Europe and being the top Idaho finisher at the Boise 70.3. My winter training has been far ahead of any previous winter, with an emphasis on my run, which has been my weakest link.

Racing as a Professional Triathlete is an expensive hobby and my biggest need is help for travel expenses and race fees. To race in the Boise 70.3 Ironman as a Pro will cost me $750.

In his remarkable collegiate career spanning fours years at Oakland University Kevin was an NCAA All American and NCAA II National Champion in swimming every year. He graduated with a BA in Psychology, a BS minor in Biology, and is one term shy of holding a BS in Computer Science. He presently resides in his hometown of Boise, Idaho where he works in IT Operations at www.PersonalShopper.com .

Kevin’s background may be in swimming but just like his education he is an extremely well rounded and accomplished athlete. Once graduating college he took an extended break from the hard pace of competitive swimming to whitewater kayak (his favorite sport), ski, snowboard, mountain bike, and with left over time, even play water polo. The competitive spirits of athletes are difficult to hold at bay for long and in the spring of 2003 he returned to intense training with the focus on triathlons, and has enjoyed a more enriching life ever since. Kevin exploits his natural talents as a swimmer, yet is equally at home on the bike while improving on his feet.
Kevin’s 4^th year as a professional triathlete promises to be an exciting 2009. He looks to be a factor at the Tri-California races, Wildflower and Escape from Alcatraz before peeking for his hometown race; Boise Ironman 70.3. Then, it’s off to France for 4 months where he will train and race with the Divison I Saint Jean de Monts Triathlon Club. The competition will include the fittest international athletes on the planet as Kevin races with Olympians and World Champions while traveling around North America and Europe.
