At 6’5” Matt “Boom Boom” Reed is not only the world’s tallest triathlete, but also one of the most dedicated. Reed has dominated in all three of the sport’s disciplines throughout his career. His key to training as a three-sport athlete is simple. Consistency. Day in and day out of solid performances with proper rest have helped him capture the 2008 US Olympic Trials, US Nationals, as well as the 2006 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Reed didn’t become a 2008 Olympian overnight. He’s a 17-years-in-the-making triathlete.
