Tell a little about yourself: After a long-term relationship ended I threw myself into running and did the Cleveland half marathon in May 2007. When that went well I decided to run the Columbus marathon in October 2007. After that I thought, “Now what can I do?” That December I saw Ironman Hawaii on TV and thought, “Triathlons!” So that spring (2008) I got my first road bike, joined Cleveland Triathlon Club, did a couple sprint triathlons that summer and one olympic duathlon. I was hooked! It has been a blast these past few summers not only racing and improving, but also training with people, making great friends and becoming a member of SSSMST.
