He was first introduced to the world of running at the age of 10, when he participated at a middle school cross country meet in Frankfurt, Germany. Since that time he has continued to pursue his passion for distance running, racing competitively throughout his high school years in Germany and in college, where he was a member of MIT’s varsity track and cross country teams all four years. Since graduating from college Carlos has shifted his training focus towards longer distances, ranging from five miles to the half marathon.
