“It has caused me to look at some dreams that I deferred and pick them back up again and get after them with the same drive and determination!”

There were many women who were attempting to do something they had never done before. Our paths were different – breast cancer survivors, amputees, working moms, stay-at-home moms, business owners, etc. – but we had a common goal to complete the Ramblin’ Rose. I was inspired by that, and the sisterhood of that moment! My husband told me he was so inspired and almost had a “Rudy” moment. For those of you who have seen the movie, you know that is a tearjerker and is probably one of the few films that will make a man cry. So when your husband tells you that, you know that you have done something truly amazing!
“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would be a triathlete! And, now I can say that I am! This experience has shown me that if you put in the work, stay committed, and overcome your fears, you can achieve your goals.”
