Mark Wholey is an Age Group triathlete and runner. Mark has been an athlete since 7 years old, when he started kicking a soccer ball around in the local youth leagues. He played up through school and into Division I at the Univeristy of Hartford, CT, ultimately spending 25 years as a soccer player and a middle / long distance track athlete, before taking up triathlon as his sport of choice. "I had been considering the sport for years and, in fact in college, I ran so much distance that I was routinely chided about how many Ironmans I did over the summer." When once, asked to estimate how many miles he had run in total, he conservatively guessed around 25,000.... "At least once around the world."
