Age: 46

Coach: Chris Zimmer

Personal: I work for AT&T as a senior project manager in the strategic fraud processes and controls group. We I’m not at work I want to be out on my road bike or out on the trails running or riding. But that wasn’t always the case.

When I finished my MBA in June 2006 I realized that working fulltime and going to grad school fulltime had really taken its toll. I had become very overweight and sedentary. I decided that I needed to lose weight and get fit. I worked hard over the next 14 months and lost 57 pounds.

Now my husband and I train and race together. We are always looking for our next challenge!!

Athletic Experience / Accomplishments: My athletic persuits didn’t really start until 3 years ago. I started running to help me reach my weightloss goals.

In September 2007 I ran my first 5K and from there I was hooked. In 2008 I began working with Chris Zimmer to prepare for a duathlon in Panama City, FL. I trained and raced and placed AG 2nd.

2010 Goals: My goal this season is to place in the Tri the Parks Duathlon series. My dream goal? To ride the La Vuelta Puerto Rico in 2011. It is a 3 day 375 mile ride around the island of Puerto Rico.

After I ride La Vuelta I will set my next dream goal.
