In 2009, Kim set a new run course record at Ironman Louisville on her way to yet another podium finish. In 2008, Kim claimed the title at Cozumel 70.3 with an impressive bike/run combination.

Kim grew up on Long Island, NY and ran Division 1 cross country and track for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She has an identical twin sister who lives in Houston, TX and is an elite marathon runner, with a 2:32 PR. Kim and her husband Brian moved from Boston to Vermont three years ago to start their business - a wellness center called On Track. They provide services such as physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture and a fitness center. Kim does a little bit of everything; personal training, managing the business, online coaching for triathletes and runners, and just recently became a volunteer triathlon coach for Team In Training.
