Ashley's Intro

[Ashley]

Hi everyone, I am new to triathlon.

I ran my first marathon in April 2008 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and I was hooked on endurance events and racing. I've now completed three marathons and two half marathons in just over a year. I've also done some shorter running races and some duathlons. I love encouraging others to give these sports a try!

This year I decided to learn how to swim and participate in triathlons. To date I've completed one sprint and one olympic tri. On September 13, I will be doing my first Ironman and on November 29 I will be doing my second Ironman! It's all very exciting and I'm looking forward to the fun and challenges ahead! The tri season is not over yet!

I also plan to do a lot of biking outdoors over the winter, because I quickly get bored riding on a trainer. I welcome anyone who is interested in joining me!

Also, I joined a triathlon team called Detroit Iron this year. It's a great group to train with for all levels and distances. I've gained a lot of knowledge about triathlon from being a part of Detroit Iron.
