Born in Brooklyn 1962, John discovered his athletic drive in 8^th grade when he was disappointingly cut for the grade school track team.  Two years later, he won the CHSAA NYC Sophmore Championship 880 yd in 2.01:3 in school record time.

In 1987 at the age of 25, John decided to try the new sport of triathlon and signed up for a beginner swim clinic. In the newbie lane, he met another young guy Bill Kelly there for the same reason.  The rest is history.

Noe was born on the West Coast of Ireland in 1972 and immigrated to the United States in 1989 to attend university. She has always been passionate about sports and was consistently on the volleyball, basketball, and track teams in high school (it was the only way to escape the nuns!).  While attending university, Noe took a hiatus from her athletics deciding instead to focus on her studies and her other passion, psychology.

In 2018 after many years away from sports, she was lured back by a friend into trying out for a triathlon team, Full Throttle Endurance, at her gym, Chelsea Piers. After two years on the team, she has podiumed almost every race she entered and has qualified in both years for National Championships in her age group for both the Olympic & Sprint races, but eventually decided not to compete due to her fitness level and Covid.

She is always working on improving and is patiently training with the hope of eventually qualifying for the World Championships and representing Team USA with her teammates.

A Virginia native, Olivia grew up as a competitive swimmer specializing in sprint and middle-distance events. Following a successful collegiate career, she turned to triathlon in 2006 and thus began her love for endurance sports. Olivia specializes in Olympic distance racing and is a two-time USAT All-American, three-time Team USA member and ITU Grand Final participant.

Currently residing in Boulder, CO, she will be representing FTE in the West, but looks forward to racing with her East Coast teammates in Montauk and at USAT Nationals.

Sam joined Full Throttle 10 years ago and has long been a both a steady competitor as well as a supportive voice at the club.  Sam played many sports growing up and played 4 years of lacrosse in college but has had to work hard on developing his aerobic base and slower twitch muscles. With no one strength, and a body far larger than a typical triathlete, Sam works hard to find gains anywhere he can get them and has slowly and patiently improved each year.  Sam is a 3 time USAT All-American and 2 time Team USA member.  When not at Chelsea Piers enforcing strict lane send-off times and excoriating any unwelcome foot slap, he can usually be found exploring Manhattan with his family and, most likely, eating.

Stacy has competed for Full Throttle since 2009.  She is a longtime Team USA athlete and has competed at the Worlds level in the triathlon and duathlon for many years.  More recently, she’s taken up the aquathlon.  She placed 2^nd in the F60-64 age group at the 2021 USAT National Aquathlon Championships in Long Beach and podiumed at the ITU World Aquathlon Championships in Extremadura, Spain that same year, where she took third in her age F60-64 group.  Stacy is a two-time ITU World Duathlon Age-Group Championships bronze medalist (2009 & 2010).  In 2008 she was the USAT Duathlon National Champion and finished 6^th at the ITU World Duathlon Championships in Rimini, Italy.  She finished 10^th in her AG at the ITU World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Beijing in 2011 and 6^th in her age group at the ITU World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Edmonton in 2016.

Stacy also competes for Central Park Track Club and serves on the Board of the New York Road Runners.  She was named the USATF New York Masters Athlete of the Month for December 2021 after winning her age group at the USATF Metropolitan 10K Championship.  A longtime book editor, Stacy is now at Audible, where she acquires and edits material for audio publication. Her authors include Russell Brand, Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Charlamagne tha God.

Stacy’s 2022 race calendar includes the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, the NYC Triathlon, USAT Triathlon AG Nationals in Milwaukee, the ITU World Aquathlon Age-Group Championships (location tbd), and the ITU World Triathlon Age-Group Championships, which will be held in Abu Dhabi.

William Huffman is a 2x U23 National Champion, 2x Elite National Medalist, and placed 5th in the Pan American Games in 2019. He was born in Colleyville, TX and recently received his Masters of Finance in 2020. After 2 years competing with team Full Throttle, William accepted the role of Captain in 2022.

Bill Kelly has been racing for the last 46 years since his first cross-country race in 1977. Bill was one of the original members of Full Throttle and has more age-group podiums than anyone program history. He has raced the Ironman World Championship in Kona multiple times, represented Team USA over a dozen times, outright won multiple races around the Tri-State area, and is consistently in the top 5 in his age group at the National Championships. Outside of National and World Championships, Bill has not been beaten in his age group in over 20 years. Bill is known as a fierce competitor and seems to only get faster with age.
