about me!

a little bit about me...I'm a 26 year old self made triathlete. I played high school basketball but never got any PT because I was just flat out BAD! haha. I would beg the coach to put me in...never happened. I was doomed to a career of water-girl for the other girls that actually knew how to run a play and how to put the ball in the hoop. Speaking of balls...i am no good at any sport that uses them. me and balls are bad news. Ran my first ever "timed" mile in March of last year..2006 at the central park reservoir. oooof...it clocked in at a very speedy 10:14. yes you read that correct folks. AND i almost passed out in the reservoir following that effort. BUT there certainly is a first for everything. I kept at it...kept running ....and got myself my first spiffy road bike that same month. A Jamis comet...with SPD mountain bike pedals and shoes and clip on aero bars that i had no clue how to use and was scared silly to attempt to use because i would have NO ACCESS TO BRAKES! frightening to say the least.
