Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
I came to triathlon in 2013. Prior to that time, I did it all. I grew up racing motorcycles, grew into a 230lb linebacker, and after law school, stayed in shape with running and strength training. In 2012, I had a sabbatical and fell in love with a rotation of cycling, running and strength training. After seeing a colleague run the first Boulder Ironman race, I was inspired and decided, "if she can juggle an Ironman with a busy law practice, spouse and kids, then I can learn to swim and do a sprint." From there I was off and running (and swimming, and biking . . .)
