Coming up soon, I will be participating in the Desert Triathlon, out near Palm Desert, CA. That will be an International distance race, and it is still hard for me to imagine that an International distance triathlon just a few months ago was my main event! To think that it is just a warm-up now is crazy to me! Very excited for my teammates for many of whom this will be their first race ever- so much fun!

Our practices are getting longer and harder, and still better and better! Just last weekend we biked 56 miles and ran a total of 13 miles! I am so proud of what our Team has accomplished so far!

Now that I have been upping the ante on my workouts- I need your help to make good on my pledge of fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

I need to raise a at least $2,825 by March 1st to continue training this season, so Please help me meet this goal by making a donation, and by getting the word out to friends and family about supporting this wonderful cause!

I want to thank EVERYONE who has donated so far to help me support this wonderful orgaization! With your help, I have passed my first goal of raising $1k by mid January- and I'm on to my goal of raising a total of $5650 by the end of this season!

Training is going well- and I really feel that I am making progress in my fitness, and my level of comfort on the bike, in the pool, and even with running. I am learining SO much about nutrition and smart ways to build endurance!

Check out my Blog too - http://triathlonholly.blogspot.com, I will be updating it regularly with even more photos and info about training and my team's progress this season :-)

Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

I'm training to participate in an Ironman distance triathlon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. For those of you who don't know - an Ironman race consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run! I am definitely excited about training and to ultimately finish this extreme endurance event.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
