In 1985, I qualified for Hawaii Ironman by filling out an application. Prior to this, I had only swum, biked and run recreationally as a kid. I then bought a $500 bike, running shoes and taught myself how to swim 4k without stopping. I survived that day and while training for Kona I discovered that road racing was more my forte. Then in 1991, when my twin boys were 11 months old, I returned to triathlons and won my age group at the World Championships. In 1996 I decided to give the long distances another try and raced Ironman Canada. 20 Ironmans later, and 20 top 10 pro results, including a 2nd overall, I am still in love with the sport. When I reluctantly turned 45, I conceded my pro status and then posted my fastest Ironman time of 9:42. I am now helping other athletes achieve their goals. I have managed to compete at a very high level while raising twin boys, working as a massage therapist, doing all that house stuff [sort of] and coaching triathletes, cyclists and runners. My experience in the health care field and my knowledge of injury prevention, training smart, diet and using my time effectively are all assets that I am able to pass on to other athletes. For four years I had the honor of being on the Timex Multisport Team which is the most prestigious triathlon team in the world. The athletes come from all over the world and their success in representing Timex is visible in the triathlon community. I have competed in all the North American Ironman races except Arizona, although I have trained on this course. I know many of the Ontario races and how to train for these as well.
