History:
I started triathlons back in 1999 after watching the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon on tv. After completing my first olympic triathlon I was hooked. Since that race I have done 2 Ironman triathlons, Escape from Alcatraz, half ironmans, XTERRA triathlons and numerous marathons, half marathons and 5k's all over the country. In 2002 I started Tri and
Du It Multisport and now run it full time.
2010 Goals:
Ironman Lake Placid - July 25, 2010
Summit for Someone - November 5 - 14, 2010

History:
I started running casually in the summer of 2006 with the intent of keeping some pounds off. In 2008, fellow teammate Jason Kassay convinced me to compete in my first 5K, the St. James 5K, and it was then that I realized how much I enjoyed running and training. I also trained for and completed the Cow Harbor 10K in Northport, Long Island. In 2009 I completed the Long Island Half Marathon in May as well as the Cow Harbor 10K later that year. This year I have completed the Long Island Half Marathon as well as the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge, setting personal bests in both races. I also work as the Registration Coordinator for Tri and Du It Multisport.
2010 Goals:

History:
After competing in our first of many 5ks in 2003, my husband Lance and I were lured in by the challenge of a triathlon. In 2006 we competed in our first sprint distance tri on Block Island. Since then we have competed in triathlons all over Long Island, my longest distance being an olympic.
2010 Goals:
After the Long Island Marathon, we will be traveling for the Rhode Island 70.3 in July and Ironman Louisville in August…all firsts for me! My goal is to train hard, stay healthy, maybe surprise myself, and of course have fun. I am also looking forward to supporting my Tri and Du It teammates as they go after all of their goals this season.

History:
I didn't start running until 1978 at the age of 39 upon a doctor's advice for being overweight and stressed. Completed my first marathon in 1980 (Long Island in 3:48). Have finished eleven more since then with my best a 3:11 Long Island at age 47. PR's in the 45-49 age group were a 17:54 5K, 29:48 for 5 miles, 36:36 for 10K and 1:23 for the half marathon. Have averaged over 25 races every year since and have totalled well over 50,000 miles of running.
I started tri's and du's about ten years ago to add some variety and cross training to my life. I turned 70 (USA-Tri) last year and finished first in the age group in all eight competitions during the year; my best performances were at the Tuckahoe (NJ) and Cape Henlopen (DE) du's. My end of year (2009) USA-Tri national ranking in the age group was 6th with two ranked in front of me only completing one competition during the year.
2010 Goals:
My goal in 2010 is to finish in the top ten in the Age Group Duathlon Nationals in Richmond the end of April and earn an invite to the World's in Scotland in September. My current duathlon schedule for 2010 is the Gainesville (FL) Sprint Du on 3/7, the Wildman Sprint Du in Orlando on 3/13, Brandywine Valley (PA) Du on 3/28, Doylestown (PA) Du on 4/12, Hurricane Bi (Riverhead) on 4/18 and Age Group Nationals on 4/25. Tentatively, I'll also compete in Carl Hart Mothers' Day Du, Long Island Gold Coast Du, Carl Hart Fall Du, Wantagn State Park Du, Cape Henlopen Du, Southshore Halloween Du and looking at a couple of du's in NJ (Long Branch, Lighter than Air, Ocean City or Sea Isle). Will probably compete in three tri's: Mini-Mighty, Independence Day and Great North Fork.

History:
After getting married I put on the freshman 30 or was it 40. A fraternity buddy of mine got tired of hearing me complain about my weight and my students and made me run a mile with him. I thought it was going to be the death of me; quite frankly it was embarrassing. Since then I've committed myself to losing that extra weight and taking my stress out on running rather than letting it all pile up and get to me. This year was my first year running the Long Island Half Marathon.
2010 Goals:
Cow Harbor 10K
9/11 Race to Remember
Nike Human Race 10K
Jack Rabbit Battle of Brooklyn 10miler
