Race Report:MachTenn Sprint Tri

[wildstreaktn]

Thx for all the congrats and encouragement,girls.Yes,TriGirl,we are addicted I quit my truck driving job the day before the tri and I felt elated about that decision.I am now a fulltime pizza delivery driver and will be starting school soon,a lot poorer,but determined to attain a career I do because it brings me satisfaction and income,not just schlepping to a job every day,slave to a paycheck!We are planning on doing,one,maybe two more sprint events this season,along with Deb completing her first metric century and me completing my first full century.Deb's uncle was a collegiate swim champ for Yale and he has offered coaching,along with free pool access,to help Deb get faster and help me improve my stroke mechanics,build endurance and get faster.It's all good,we've both gone through some big life changes in the past 9 months and on the good side of the equation,triathlon has added a great big hunk of good to both of our lives!!And I want to give a shout out to all the volunteers and the MachTenn Running club for putting on such a great tri!!I'm the one with backward cap,Deb's the pretty one!!

Great pic! Thanks for posting!!! And you're BOTH beautiful women!! Good for you for making positive changes in your life. It can be scary, but good things can come. I, too, just quit my job in hopes of finding a different school that brings back the love for teaching that I temporarily lost at my last school. Scary, but hopeful too! Good luck w/school this fall.
