Seattle Danskin Triathlon 2010

I'm a bit behind the story, but taking part in the Danskin does change your life. It was so emotional when I participated (I was the swimmer on a team, because I really don't like biking....:) It was a terrific event and most amazing energy. Awesome!

All I can say is "Wow!" You are a true inspiration in so many ways.

♥♥♥♥♥

That is so awesome that you did this. I love sports, but I loathe running. Any sport is great for women to do. It gets you moving and enjoying the company of others. Keep doing it!

Congratulations! I got goosebumps reading it. My long term goal is a tri. I've got the swim and the bike down...it's that darn run I need to conquer.
Thank you for sharing your story. You inspired me and gave me a little jolt of enthusiasm right when I needed it.

Way to go Ali!!!!

Way to go Ali. Your stories and your blog inspire me in so many different ways. This is one on them. Go you athlete!

Totally inspiring! I've been feeling so out of shape, physically and mentally this summer. I've been thinking about signing up for a small race but I've never been an "athlete", so I have major hesitations and fear of failure.
Thanks, I needed this reminder that anybody can accomplish an athletic endeavor!!
You rock!!

Amazing! So amazing!

Congratulations Ali!!!! Running a marathon is on my bucket list - really the only thing on there. Seriously cool!

Between you and Cathy Zielske I am seriously going to have to look at getting fit! What happened to scrapbookers baking cupcakes... ;) Well done you.

Thanks for sharing your story, Ali! I was moved by it. Congrats!

Brava lady! You're a true inspiration :)

Great job!!

FANTASTIC ALI!!! GREAT JOB. WHO DID ALL OF THIS GREAT PICTURES?

Great story and AMAZING job! Thanks for sharing your experience, it is inspiring!

So awesome on so many levels!! What an accomplishment. Way to go Ali!

This made me tear up! Oh, Ali!!! Even though I don't know you personally, I'm SO proud of you!
Gosh, totally makes me want to do a triathlon now! LOL. (I had no idea you swam in college too... how awesome! I was a diver, but since I swam competitively through elementary school, I would do relays for my college team when they asked. LOL. :-) )
Wow! So next year (you know, when I'm *not* pregnant... LOL), I'll look into training! How awesome! You've got me so motivated! :-) Thank you, Ali!!
p.s. LOVE your bathing suit! Who makes that? I'd love to know where you got all your gear and what you thought of it!

You are one cool human being Ali. Congrats on your acomplishment and even more on your great attitude. Salute!

YOU are a rock star. Thanks for sharing your amazing race. It really inspired me:)
