Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
Training is where I get lost and then found again. I have always been an athlete and as I got older and had kids triathlon found me during a time when I felt lost and unseen in the world. Training sets the tone for my joy and confidence. Without it I feel nebulous and without shape. To me the physical body is a portal to our highest self. So many aspects of my career( own my own functional medicine practice, Nephesh health) requires my brain to be in thinking or in fix it mode, I have to study constantly and also be somewhat of a creative to motivate others to make lifestyle choices. Owning my own business is so challenging and it came with making enemies in order to stand in my value.
Triathlon is a place where I can escape my identity or “resume” self and all the “being grown up” expectations and just dive into my physical power! BEING SALTY, gritty, sun kissed and fit is where I find my inner superwoman!!
