I became hooked on triathlons in 2005, when, after training
vigorously for months for my first race, I got ran over in
T2 and dislocated my shoulder. Needless to say, I was
unable to finish my first tri, and the obsession to complete
one was instilled. The next year I returned to the same
race, finished it and haven't stopped since. I crave
the challenges that training and racing bring. Through
triathlon I have had a great deal of personal growth and
have met many wonderful people!!!
My Inspirations: My Dad who died of a heart attack 6 years
ago and my Mom, who at the age of 55, finished her first
tri.
Training Tip: Get up early to train. It is such a
peaceful, beautiful time, and then you just feel great all
day!
2009 Races: IM Brazil
