Tom was born and raised in Hometown USA (aka Verona, WI). Amazingly, he has traveled only a mere mile or so from his childhood home where he now resides in the "old Wineke house" with his wife, pet hamster and two stick bugs. The past few years of Tom’s life have been full of new inspirations and large goals. He began training for and participating on sprint distance triathlons in 2005 and worked his way to Ironman status in 2006. Before pursuing cardio-vascular health, Tom was frequently spotted at Supreme Health and Fitness working to "pump (insert clap here) himself up."
When asked about the motivation about the ride, Tom will reply with a smirk, "My wife made me do it." Those of us who know him best realize that that is not the answer. He really wants to prove to the world that he can average 20 mph for nearly 700 miles over a week. Oh yeah, and show off that he can keep his legs more neatly shaven than his better half.
