When you meet Yu Hsiao for the first time you’ll never expect him to be an elite triathlete and runner. Armed with a hoody and glasses, He may seem like a shy, quiet, and humble engineer in the Silicon Valley but underneath he’s a deadly speed machine, a beast ready to be released on race day. Known for his consistency and work ethic for over a decade, Yu has achieved impressive results including 8:49 ironman debut, 4:00 70.3 pb, and 2:26:51 marathon. 

With a reputation for being a "Beast" ever since he joined high school cross country. He embraces the need to suffer in order to go beyond his limits in training and racing. One distinct example is during Vineman 70.3 '14, when he crashed on his bike 20 miles in, severely injuring his knee with multiple laceration. Refusing to throw in the towel, he fought on, finishing in top 10 with a time of 4:09:23.

Yu's determination and grit has earned him respect from his peers and the endurance sport community. Because Yu's not the biggest or most talented guy in the world. He may not be the most gifted physical specimen you've seen, but he's got a heart of lion and he never gives up until he passes that finish line. 

Yu currently resides in Northern California (San Jose) and works full time as a mechanical design engineer.
Athletically, Yu is currently working towards:

1. Running the old Olympic B Standard 2:19:00 for the marathon

2. Breaking the 4 hour barrier in the 70.3 half ironman distance.

3. Run under 3 hours for a marathon within a Ironman. Would like to chase 8:30 total time goal.

4. Qualifying for KONA as a pro.
