How Doctor Fields Became The Athletic Doc®

For over twenty years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon which has led to him becoming known as The Athletic Doc®. To date, he has completed eleven Ironman Triathlons.

Dr. Fields has competed in over 60 other Triathlons in his career, including eight half (70.3) Ironman competitions as well as numerous Olympic distance ones.

On most weekends, Dr. Fields can be found on long training rides. Besides being outdoors and keeping himself very physically active, Dr. Fields also enjoys the camaraderie of his training partners.
