About Kim

Personal Stats

Name	Kimberly Hager
Birthdate	07/14/1971
Birthplace	Minnesota
Current Residence	The Woodlands, TX
Family	Husband, John - Daughters, Lauren & Hanna   Hanna and Kim, and daughter Lauren
Occupation	Taxi-Driver & Cheerleader (for Lauren & Hanna), Coach
Years Racing	Grew up running, began racing Multisport in 1999
Favorite Race	Ironman Hawaii, 2004 Olympic Marathon Trials in St. Louis (because it fulfilled a goal I had set 20 years prior to achieving it)
Favorite Pre-Race Food	I will eat whatever I am in the mood for at that time. (A combination of some protein and carbs (salmon and rice), but nothing heavy.)
Favorite Post-Race Food	Whatever is available!
Favorite Indulgence	Red wine, dark chocolate, Starbucks and peanut butter (organic of course!)
What's in your Ipod?	Various artists- anything from U2, Nirvana, 30 Seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, etc. depending on what mood I am in, and/or what type of workout I am doing.
Biggest Pet Peeve	Swimming in masters when you have a descending set and the person leading the lane goes out too fast, blows up, and then messes up everybody else's intervals for that set.
Role Models	I admire individuals like the late Jon Blais and my aunt. Both passed away in 2007 due to diseases that ravaged their healthy bodies. For me, these are the type of individuals who exemplify the true spirit of perseverance and tenacity. Perhaps Jon did not hold a World Championship title, but to me, his accomplishment on the race course in Kona far exceeds any world record. And most importantly, these two taught me the importance of being part of something bigger than myself.
Favorite Books	Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales, Tuesdays with Morrie, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
Someday I hope to...	Compete and finish the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run
