Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
Up until 3 years ago I was strictly an adventure racer. I really never thought that I would enjoy the sport of triathlon as I was pretty locked into a team multisport. Life changed after getting married and moving to New Jersey. I left my team mates behind and struggled to find a way to stay motivated to stay fit. Enter triathlon! A friend of mine knew that I was in a bit of a fitness slump and blindly signed me up for my first triathlon, an Olympic distance triathlon. Long story short.... I made it through the triathlon (the swim became survival mode as soon as my toes hit the water), and have been motivated to keep bettering myself in each discipline ever since. I continue to race triathlon and have even made it back to the adventure racing stage with my old team.
