Real Mothers of Triathlon

Meredith Kessler shares how we met 4 years ago while talking about her fundraiser event for the Challenged Athlete Foundation. She’s totally right – but I’m not going to lie, 7am PST swim time is an early call these days. I’ve been nursing a shoulder injury for the past 3 weeks, but I’m recovered and ready to get in the pool! Stay tuned:

Her fundraiser for the Challenged Athletes Foundation is on Saturday May 9th with Mirinda Carfrae and is called ‘The Real Mothers of Triathlon’ Don’t miss it!

a year ago

A year ago around 11:45am I lost control of my bike on a descent through switchbacks. I suffered a broken collar bone, collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and L1 burst fracture in my lower spine that has put me in a #wheelchair. One year later I swam through duck ? infested lake water training for a #paratriathlon and then rewarding myself with chicken fried steak and a side of bacon. #HappyAnniversary.
