Jordan Rapp, born July 28th 1980. Three weeks later, he went for his first open water swim (sort of) in the waters of Lost Lake in Brewster, NY.

Eighteen years later, he took first strokes of a different kind - in a rowing shell - on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie. After a high school athletics career focused on squash and lacrosse, he began training for endurance athletics on a Concept II ergometer in the winter of 1998/1999.

Millions of meters and millions of strokes later, he was injured for the first time in his rowing career while training to make the U.S. National Team. And so, in April of 2003, he clipped a pair of aerobars onto his road bike, bought a pair of aero wheels with the first tax return of his post-graduate career, and never looked back, except to occassionally take a peek at the competition.
