About Aaron: Aaron entered the triathlon industry as a bike mechanic and, after taking his lumps, became the go-to wrench for world champion triathletes such as Craig Alexander and Chrissie Wellington. Since joining the Triathlete staff nearly a year ago, he has been seen measuring rulers with other rulers, endearing himself to coworkers with his unique access to the coolest gear and gadgets, and cutting running shoes with a mitre saw.
