I am the editor of the fitness blog Whole Iron Woman, which documents my life and training as an age-grouper triathlete. I founded her blog while training for my first half-Ironman (completed in July 2011), but it has grown to include tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle as well as the humorous side of being an endurance athlete. I have completed numerous triathlons ranging from sprint distance to half-Ironman. I have a love/hate relationship with my bike, but I'm hopeful we'll eventually find some common ground. In addition to my love of triathlon, I am also an avid runner. I have completed 10 half marathons and one marathon.
