Training 24/7 The Life of a Triathlete

Add comments

We created this video which cronicles my training for St. Croix 70.3 starting in November 2007. I knew in February I would be giving a talk to some elementary school students to introduce them to triathlon, sports nutrition and what it means to have faith in yourself and your dreams. This video really brought my training to life for them.

Not only did the kids love the video, I can now say it was all worth it. I traveled to St. Croix in May of 2008 and placed first in my age group of 25-29 females. I qualified and competed in the Hawaii Ironman World Championships on October 10, 2008. I was blessed to have a great day and in my first ironman I finished in a time of 10 hours 58 mins, 9th female in the world in the 25-29 age group.

As a registered dietitian, I now have my own Sports Nutrition Counseling business called Fuel Your Passion. If you would like to contact me please go to my website www.fuelyourpassion.net.

You can also follow my blog at www.fuelyourpassiononline.blogspot.com. I offer nutrition counseling for athletes, as well as coaching services. Please check out my Kona Video for a follow up to this video!

Take care and best of luck in your future endevors!
