Bio
I’ve been doing triathlons for over 25 years now (yikes, I’m old). I watched a sprint triathlon on Mercer Island back in the 80’s and decided that if I could teach myself to swim, I could do one. I taught myself to swim and have been doing triathlons ever since (and I’m still taking swim lessons to break the bad habits I learned from trying to teach myself!). I started out doing sprints, then mixed in a few marathons here and there. My goal was to run 20 marathons, and I did, but then I needed another goal to stay motivated. Some of my friends convinced me to make Ironman my goal, and now after finishing three, I am still motivated to keep it on, keep it on!
I would say one of my biggest achievements is completing my three Ironmans, and I would also have to say, my 27+ years in Education. Oh how times have changed. I joined TN Multisports so I would have other people to do the Tuesday night track workouts with.
