New women's only cycling shop in Ellicott City, MD!!!

I've emailed with her and suggested that she could gain some great insight from TE forums. I even sent links to two relevant threads. She replied that she'd take a look and that she wanted to become a registered user.

I realized that I recognize her name...she's the woman that runs the pre-Iron Girl clinics.

Patti Harden is an accomplished triathlete and a terrific triathlon coach. I think she also still rides with Team BBC. I trained with Patti a little bit last year and feel confident that with Patti at the helm, female bike and triathlon enthusiasts will be well-served.

It's been like a year since you rode with us! Did you do Iron Girl?

No, I didn't do Irongirl. I actually did one of Patti's Irongirl clinics, hated the course and did Luray instead. Nice course, beautiful lake swim, challenging but scenic bike ride and an OK run. Also did New Jersey State Sprint and Virginia Run. Did you do any tri's last year?

I did the 3 Sports Triathlon in Richmond and the Iron Girl in Columbia. The 3 Sport didn't go as hoped: I tanked the pool swim and fell apart completely on the run. Iron Girl was really hard but I did well and it was a great experience.
