I'm a 41 year old, married for 20 years to the cooles guy ever!!! Mother of two amazing and beautiful teenage girls, 16 & 18. Growing up, athletics just weren't an option in my family. I have always wanted to be athletic, so started working out in my 30's. In May of 2005 I learned how to swim and did my first sprint in Sept 05. Fell in love with tri's!!! I'm not fast, but work hard, so lots of room for improvement. I broke my ankle and had surgery, but stopped training completely. I got into bodybuilding and competed in 2007 and did pretty good. I am now a personal trainer and am ready to get back to tri's. I've just have a hysterectomy last week, 12/18/08, so am recovering from that for a few more weeks. I want to do Pacific Crest olympic in June and would love to do the Portland Marathon. My goal is to do Ironman Coeur d'Alene in 2011. Thanks for taking the time to read... happy training!!
