You go through life not knowing then.... Bam, you know.

I have to say that I've come to the realization that life is really short. I am a person who has gone through most of my life giving all of myself to be the good upstanding person.

Then one day I realized that my life means something. I have decided that I love to ride my bike and I am happy that I can. I am just a regular person, not a writer, but someone who is very expressive and I am never afraid to say so.
I have goals just like many of us and I love to share where I go and where I'd like to be.

My bike Molly and I have a long journey for the rest of my life that includes a bucket of things to accomplish...which includes a full Ironman in Coeur d' Alene 2012. I've always had a bike most of my life. Heck, I wanted a bike more than my brothers did as a child. Until 2004, I didn't have direction or have a path set forth, just living the complacent life. Until I went back to college. I realized that I had a value of worth within me, and I decided to do a Sprint Triathlon with the encouragement of my friend and professor at the college who was the coach of a Triathlon Basics Class. This was a journey I set for myself. I did it alone, and yes I cried at the end as I finished that first tri ever. It was the goal and the accomplishment that drove me. A new love was born within me from that point.

Training in the three sports is something difficult if you have a young family. I managed as best I could.
Swimming is enjoyable, biking was easy and I love every aspect the ride entails. The run for me is torture at the moment... Haha, but not for too long. I am a very social person who loves meeting people with similar interests and likend goals.

Please feel free to share who you are as a person. We all want the same and that is to be happy.Life shouldn't have limitations, and thats why I love to ride with that aspect in mind... riding free spirited.
