Hernan's Story
Life
It is always challenging to write about myself, so I'll be brief.
I graduated from the Naval Academy in 1993 and entered the U.S. Navy Medical Corps. For the next four years, I attended Uniformed Services University in Bethesda. Upon completing medical school I moved to San Diego for internship in Surgery at Naval Medical Center San Diego. I spent 18 months in San Diego before moving back east for specialized training in Undersea/Diving/Hyperbaric Medicine. My assignment was two years at Naval Station, Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, working with Naval Special Warfare (SEALs) and deep sea divers. I can hardly call it work - it was that much fun.

d back to San Diego, where I am now. I have completed 3 years of a 5 year residency in Urology. I will be in the Navy for many, many years - to pay back all of the school and training. With any luck, after San Diego I will head to Europe and be stationed in Rota, Spain.
When not working, I try to stay in as good of shape as possible. I did my first triathlon in 1999 and have been hooked ever since. Fortunately my work schedule has eased up for first 6 months of 2004 allowing me time to train. I have already done two races this year and hope to do 4-5 others. If you have never done a triathlon you should.
