The 2015 Landsharks Triathlon was no exception…only this time, the nerves were magnified by the fact that I was also responsible for getting a raft, bike trailer and a jogging stroller to the race…AND making […]

Meet The Athletes
This Sunday I will have the honor of racing the Landsharks Triathlon in tandem with three amazing children.
