Name: Bonnie Smith

Age: 35

Personal: : I am an Alpharetta resident who started doing tri’s 2 years ago when I did John Tanner in June of 2007. I have been a hopeless addict ever since! (ha!)

My husband Brad and I have two kids, Ben and Mary King, ages 7 and 4 respectively. I am currently coached by Jen Henry of the SportFactory and training for Age Group Nationals in Tuscaloosa as well as my first half-iron in Augusta this Sept.

My love of triathlon has motivated me to become certified as a personal trainer and am currently in the process of an NASM certification.

My son, Ben, just completed his first triathlon at age 6 at Peachtree City and he will also do IronKids in Sept. I am one proud momma!

Athletic experience/accomplishments: Currently in 3rd season of triathlons – have completed several sprint and olympic distance triathlons as well as road races, time trials. Placed in top 3 of age group at a few races over the past 2 seasons:

Richard Russell 08 – 2nd AG
Georgia Cup TT 09 – 1st AG
Indian Springs 09 – 2nd AG
Chattanooga Waterfront 09 – Top 30% AG thus qualifiying for AG Nationals

2009 Goals: My goal is to improve times with each season. Every single race I learn something new and this is what keeps me interested and motivated. My immediate goal this season is to complete my first half-iron

Inspiration: People who do not allow age, disabilities, etc. to get in the way of achieving life goals – whether fitness or otherwise.
