Personal: Married to Mike Tindol, accomplished triathlete and cyclist.  Two step children, Russell and Nicole.  Russell, 16, is a cancer survivor and a member of the Frazier Juniors Elite program.  Nicole, 13, is a very talented bass player in a local band.  I got involved in triathlons in 2001 by participating in the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program.  I mentored and helped coach in 2002 for TNT.  I am a personal trainer at Bodyrich Fitness Company in Duluth.  For the past 3 years I put together a plyometrics/core/strength training class for the Frazier Cycling team of juniors and parents.  My passion is helping people lead a healthy lifestyle through exercise and eating smart.  I enjoy competing to try to better myself both physically and mentally.
