Matt Lieto
Matt has been participating in triathlons for the past 7 years. He has not
always been in race shape, however. Matt was overweight for most of his life,
topping out at 240 pounds seven years ago. Matt decided to give it one more
try and lose the weight. He did, and a year later, and 70 lbs lighter he
raced his first triathlon at Wildflower. From that point on he began to work
at it and focus on being active and healthy.
In the past 6 years he has become one of the stronger cyclists in the sport,
and when coupled with a solid swim, he often finds himself in good position
when the run comes. In 2004 Matt decided to concentrate on racing only the
most competitive races, and got his feet wet in what he thinks will be his
strength, the Ironman distance. His Ironman debut was also a success, he raced
Ironman Coeur d' Alene, where he finished 7th professional!! (Not bad for never
running more than 18 miles before that day!) With this result he qualified
and raced at the World Championships in Kona, where he learned some useful
lessons for future races on the Big Island.
He placed 8th at Ralphs in the Half Iron distance and won the Pacific Crest
Half Iron in 2005.
This year Matt plans on focusing on getting his story out to the public, through
talks, and columns on the internet (at trifuel.com), to see if he can inspire
others to get outside and enjoy the experiences that await them. Matt’s
focus will always be having fun and sharing his joy of the race with the spectators
at each event.
