Ali,
This is Lorie Tucker, Margie's friend. We met in Houston, at a scrapbooking event. Anyway, I loved that you did your first tri. Congratulations! And Margie said she is committed to doing the next one with you. I am a USAT Certified Triathlon coach and my business is gorillamultisportaz.com. I would love to help write you all a program for your next tri. And while we're at it let get you into some proper tri apparel so you will look as good as you performed. When is your next race? Let me send you and Cathy some of my Gorilla Multisport kits to wear. Send me an email if you've got a minute and let me know your sizes and Cathy's for bike shorts and tri tops and I will send you some stuff!
Sincerely,
Lorie Tucker

how awesome are you? and, what an inspiration. i hope 'athlete' doesn't need to be your secret word next year but your all out, full blown word.

way to go ali, way to go!!!

Congratulations! I "used" to be an athlete (a dancer to be exact)...but three kids and fibromyalgia and over eating have put me in the ranks with the best coach potatoes! reading your story inspires me...(right now I am working on not overeating one day at a time)...I too hope to get back to dancing and activity! You look great in the pictures and so happy! Congrats again...

Congrats!!! So nice to see you accomplish goals. A triathalon is my goal as well. We actually want to do a family one...during the winter....so the swimming is inside a pool and the biking becomes skiing!
You are an inspiration!

Yay Ali! You did it. What an empowering thing to do. I am so proud of you.

Congratulations! Finishing that first Tri is an awesome accomplishment.
