LifeSport Age Grouper Nell Stephenson 2nd Overall at Seattle Marathon

Dec 09, 2008

Here is Nell's report on her breakthrough 3:03 marathon: I was so ready to run after a week of restraining myself from my favorite activity! I went straight to the front of the line and took off slightly faster than my coach had advised, but fell into the proper pace by mile 2 or 3. I led for the first few miles and then ran with a couple of other women for about 6 or 7 miles before two of them passed me. I kept telling myself not to chase as it was too early on.

Ayesha Rollinson at San Fran ITU Triathlon

Nov 17, 2008

When you lose something priceless, its return to you is like winning the emotion lottery. We all have something we have lost that has sentimental value. We all have something we pay into emotionally on a regular basis that we may not take proper stock of.

The best comparison would be one of those group lottery pools at work.

Due to National Team and Olympic qualifying I have had to take a miss on all the Xterra fun over the last two years. So I had hung my bike up and said I wouldn't ride till after the Olympics.
