Seattle Danskin Triathlon 2010

You go girl!!! or should I say "you go athlete!!!"

Way to go! I love how you told the story of the experience and filled in the gaps with photos -- very moving. So far I've just stuck to running races, but one day I'd like to learn how to really swim again and give a triathlon a go. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great Job!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Your experiences really affect me in such a positive way - THANKS

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations Ali~ you set your mind to it, and did it!

so inspiring. so proud of you & psyched that you are all ready planning for next year.
you should consider doing the malibu triathlon!

Congratulations!

Congratulations... I'm training for my first 5K in October. I keep saying it out loud and typing it because I'm mentally recommitting every time I do. :) I've *never* been athletic, but I'm going to do this thing! Loved your story and inspiration!

Wow, what a fantastic accomplishment!! Great job, Ali! :) :) :)

Woo Hoo! Good for you! what an amazing accomplishment. Thank you for sharing - it is good to know who people go about turning the one word into a new way to define yourself.

very very very very inspiring. very proud of you.

Congratulations!! Being married to a triathlete and having competed in other types of athletic events, I totally understand your feelings on this. So glad you shared them with everyone. Not many have the words to convey what an amazing experience it is to be an athlete! :)

Ali,
I was so happy to see your experience there. My running partner and I have been thinking about doing this race for awhile. This year just wasn't right (I just had a baby and she is healing from a complication after surgery). I think a date next year may be just the ticket. Thanks for the inspiration! See you next year!

Congratulations. You did a wonderful job with the tri. I hope to do one one day too. :)

Yay! You Are An Athlete Mom! Congrats on doing this, finishing and finding the joy thru the process.

Congratulations! We are so proud of you. What a great experience to have.

Just one more way in which you are inspiring! Congratulation on a race well done. :)

Between you & CZ, you are totally encouraging and inspiring many, many scappers on their healthy life journeys too.
I recently ran a 3k and am toying with the idea of a 1/2 marathon next year. But after reading your tri post (and loving swimming) I think I may have to reconsider and look into a tri!
You are an incredible, beautiful woman! Thank you so much for sharing this part of yourself with us!
YOU GO GIRL! :)

GREAT job! so excited for you- and the journey you've set up for yourself. these races kind of overwhelm me (biking is my worst skill set).

That is so cool! I'm so inspired by every word of your post! Congratulations!!!

Such an amazing and inspiring story. So many moments I had tears in my eyes reading this. Thank you for sharing such a cool and personal moment of your life. :)
