What a great story! I did my first sprint tri at age 55 and, at 60, I've got one coming up in June. You have many good races ahead of you.

And, you learn a little every time. My first, I forgot where I racked my bike and my transition time was 10 minutes! Last year I got out on my bike and the bystanders yelled at me that I'd forgotten my helmet. I had to go back and get it- being out on the course without would have been an instant disqualification. Maybe this year it will all go smoothly.

Congratulations Vee! My wife and I will be doing our first sprint on June 22nd. We're with Team in Training to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of my cousin Stevie (who died from Leukemia when we're both around 6 years old), my nephew, Damien, who is a survivor of childhood Leukemia and my father-in-law, who is a survivor of Lymphoma. Your story is such an inspiration and I wish you and your family the very best as you continue on your journey!!

Congratulations Vee! My husband shared your story with me and it is the inspiration I continually need to gear me up for our first Tri in June. Our team name is TWIN-spirational because our identical twin boys (4 1/2) are our inspiration to get and stay healthy while constantly trying to set good examples and be the best possible parents we can be. I loved reading your entire "blog" and watching your video. You certainly have a lot to be proud of. Carpe Diem!
