From
Tri-Scottsdale Foundation — I’m (Lewis Elliot) a 27 year old Professional Triathlete from Billings, Montana currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona. My father Bill, an avid marathoner, encouraged me to start running and cycling as a way to spend time together. I’ve competed for the US National Cycling Team for many years and discovered great success with the sport of triathlon.
I consider being a Professional Athlete a dream come true. I’m the middle of three boys, and I credit my brothers Porter and Blair for giving me my competitive spirit at a very young age.
In 2006, I won the SOMA Half-Ironman with a bike course record and a personal best time of 3 hours and 58 minutes. The only past winners of this race (Chris McCormack, Chris Legh, and Tim Deboom) are among the most famous and successful triathletes ever to compete.
2007 was a breakthrough year for me. In March, I finished third at Ironman California and in April I finished 8th at Ironman Arizona. I competed all over the U.S. and traveled to France where I represented the United States at the World Long Course Triathlon Championships. In October, I competed in the Ironman World Championships in Kona.
In 2008, I hope to win Ironman Arizona as well as place in the top 5 at the Ironman Hawaii World Championships.
The Tri-Scottsdale partnership with the Susan G. Komen breast cancer charity is a very important to me, as my mother passed away from breast cancer in 2003.
