- My Tri Story:
- My introduction to triathlon was a ski,mountain bike and cross country run race. I won it and found out a week later that I was pregnant. I then got into triathlons a few years after the birth of my son. I had moved into an area where there were alot of good triathletes and as a long time runner was pursuaded to get into triathlon. I was thrilled to qualify for Ironman Hawaii at my first attempt at Ironman. I was racing in the top ten place up until the last thirteen miles where I bonked and manged to hold on to qualify in my age group. I then began my quest to be the best triathlete I could be. I really wanted to feel like I could race the whole Ironman race...and after ten ironman I am still working on this. I have raced IM Arizona 08, IM Lake Placid 08, IM Louisville 08 and now I look forward to being out in Kona to race the World Championships.

I think that it is great that you've chosen to have a family and race. Do you know my friend and coach, Heather Gollnick? She is a special lady and like you has a family. She is also a member of iAmTri.
I'm sure your husband is a great support.
May I ask where is Point Pleasant?
Good racing in Kona. I'll be watching when you get on the podium!
God bless you,
Michael
