When I made the decision to embrace the challenge of pursuing my first triathlon, I didn’t know if it would be a bucket list thing, a lifestyle thing or something that I was just darn glad was over and done with.  Frankly, I was surprised maybe even a little shocked by how I physically felt when I crossed that finish line.  It was seriously nothing short of AMAZING.  I was exhausted, elated, proud and relieved.  I truly felt connected to my physical self—alive, vital, strong.  Maybe this is the healthy version of how meth or heroin addicts feel but I knew then that I wanted more of that feeling and that my 1^st TRI would not be my last.  And, so began my pursuit and passion for training, competing and connecting into the triathlon experience.  With Ryan calling “Triathlon Momma“.
