I'm Katie.....I graduated from UC
Davis, currently working in Human Resources, been married going on 3
years, and am currently an Ironman in training!
I've never considered myself an athlete
but did swim through childhood and high school. I was about as
inactive as you can get through college and put on a lot more than
just the freshman fifteen. When graduation was nearing, I decided to
join my parents doing triathlons with Team in Training to try and get
active again and lose some weight. That was back in 2003. Since then
I've done numerous sprint and Olympic distance triathlons, one true
Half Ironman and one Half Ironman without the swim because it was
cancelled on race day. I've also gone from not being able to run a
full minute to now being able to run half marathons and actually
enjoy running rather than just getting through it.
This year I'm taking the mother of all
triathlon challenges and have signed up to participate (I call it
participating, not racing) in Ironman Arizona on November 18, 2012.
It's a crazy goal but I'm up for the challenge and hoping I'll
finally consider myself a true athlete!
