Personal: Greetings, I am the proud parent of Reese Ann Elizabeth McCambridge, my two year old pride and joy.  Reese and I love to swim, bike, and run every day, no excuses.   Just kidding but Reese does love to play in the bathtub, ride her four-wheeler and chase me around the house.  Definitely a Kona qualifier in the making.  Aside from training at all hours of the day and night I enjoy my guitar, traveling, music, real estate, and keeping in touch with my large family.  Full time I am a Health and Physical Education teacher, which is rewarding, fun, and a fulfilling way to make a living.  Part time I enjoy managing, maintaining, and rehabbing my rental properties.

Athletically I am fortunate to have been introduced to Matt in 2007.  The sport factory team has taken me in as an Elite member and I look forward to seeing how far I can push it. Health and fitness are two things I cannot remember living without.  For instance, my grandmother ran a 3:16 marathon when she was something like 46 in the early 80S!!  In my high school days I loved to run and was part of a district record 4X800 team, competed in the PA state cross country meet, and was on the Marine fitness team that placed second in the nation. Had a blast in collage as I ran track, was selected as captain of my cross-country team, and qualified for a national 3v3 soccer tournament.

Turning a negative into a positive is what I am all about. When I was sixteen a brain tumor, the size of my thumb, left me unable to read a get well balloon. Ten years later I got my masters in education, with a 4.0. So when chronic achilles pain slowed my running I just changed gears, started to swim/bike and I was hooked on triathlon.  One thing led to another and in 2006 I was able to qualify for KONA in my first Iron Man!!  2010 has me pumped up to race, train and overcome anything in my way.

This season I want to run injury free!!!  If my foot cooperates I will focus on the Macon Half, age group nationals, and I would love to get into a late season IM.

See you out there!
