Then and Now

I am very excited to begin my 6th year competing in triathlon.  When I think about my racing career thus far, I always like to reflect on the “learning experiences” from my very first tri (swimming in 60-degree water with no wetsuit, wearing a Camelbak on the bike, running bow-legged because my bike cadence was too low) to remind myself of how much learning and growth is possible.  Last year I was able to compete in the 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater, FL which was an absolutely amazing and humbling experience for me.  I really credit triathlon and endurance sports for helping me not only to achieve my personal best, but to develop enduring relationships with friends and training partners as we challenge each other through all of the triumphs and setbacks.  My triathlon club (Philadelphia Triathlon Club) and running club (Wissahickon Wanderers) have been invaluable connections and represent a complete lifestyle transformation for me.  As I look forward to new challenges this year, I am dedicating my 2011 racing season to my dad who is battling mesothelioma cancer.  My dad is a great encourager and support to my athletics and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his example and leadership.  Through his inspiration, I will be racing to support families affected by cancer through HCM Foundation.  All that being said, with my past reflections and present inspirations, I am ready to give 2011 everything I’ve got!
