Home Stretch…
Well, here is brief history leading up to this whole thing. I got this email from the guys, and thought, what better way to challenge myself next yr than to commit to a charity race. So, I started training for the Ft. Laud. AIA Half Marathon in December to get back into shape and get the base miles. I used Active Trainer.com which has excellent tracking and schedule features for any sport. After the race in Feb., which I set new PR of 1:50 or 8.45 per mile, I incorporated swimming and biking into my work-outs using the 1/2 IM program from beginnertriathlete.com. Swimming would be the toughest, so I joined a local Master Swim Club, and feel so much more confident about the swim. I did an Olympic Distance (1 mile swim, 24 mile bike, 6.2 mile run) Tri in Miami in March in preparation.
My race day mantra….Strong, Sleek, Fluid, Gliding, Endless Reserves, Lean, and willing to suffer….the complete athlete.

What’s an interesting fact about you?
I lived in Monastery for 5 years.
What do you expect the greatest challenge to be in your destination?
I typically like small to medium races, like half marathons, and sprint triathlons. This is the first time I will be venturing into the longer distances. The swim leg with be the most difficult in this particular triathlon because of the distance (1.2 Mi) and the congestion in the water…its like swimming in a washing machine if you’re not outside. Also, I need to be consciously aware of increased demands on my body, such as diet & nutrition, sleep, and balancing training and family time.
