About Me: When I turned 55 year old, I took great pride in the fact that I'd never done anything that made me sweat in 35 years! After watching my daughter finish Ironman Lake Placid in 2004, then my son-in-law do the same in 2005, I decided I'd give it a whirl. I hired Adam Johnston as my coach. I bought running shoes and a bike, learned how to swim, and worked my butt off for the next two years.
Sports: Triathlon
Athletic Goals: Ironman Lake Placid July 26, 2009
My most catastrophic racing experience was: I finished the bike and was changing into my running shoes in my first Duathlon ever. . The fellow beside me asked me "How was your race?" I answered, "I'm still racing.”
My most memorable racing experience was: Finishing the first Duathlon 435 out of 457.
Favourite Racing Gear: I'm loving my Asics Gel Kayano XII shoes, and I don't know how anyone can do this type of athletic endeavor without the help of the Garmin Forerunner 305 for running that the 305 Edge on the bike!
Favourite Race: The last one - always that last one!
Favourite Race Food: Raisin bread and peanut butter, copulous amounts of Gu, E-Load and E-Mend!
