Are you training for your first triathlon? If not, which ones have you done?

I have done Ventura 2009, Santa Barbara 2009, Long Beach 2009, and San Diego 2009.I took a year off to have my son Rex, who has changed our lives forever. Rex was born with down syndrome, or up syndrome like we call it in our house. We are blessed.

What inspires you to do triathlons?

My husband and kids. I have 5 children and want to be healthy enough to grow old to see it all. I don't want to miss a thing. When mom is happy everyone is happy.

Who inspires you?

The Tridivas who never give up no matter what, even if they finish last.

What is your biggest challenge/fear?

Running!!! I am not a fan.

Any advice for future Tridivas?

Just sign up you'll be happy you did. You'll make friends for a lifetime. You'll always be motivated to compete and be fit. Life happens and sometimes Tridivas can't train for whatever reason, but once you are a tridiva, you are one for life.
