If you had told me 4 years ago that I would be competing in a biathlon (2 mile run, 15 mile bike, 2 mile run); I would have said "YOU'RE CRAZY". Well, this Sunday, I am!!! At Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY. Woo Hoo ... welcome to my NEW POST-OP LIFE! Cheer me on, send me good vibes & tons of energy ... I'm gonna need it! BTW, I am not in it to win it ... just to do it and complete it ... no matter what! Who knows maybe next year I will train to WIN.

Congratulations! Tapping into that inner athlete is so amazing. I had my surgery 9 months ago and have been running 5Ks and 10Ks. My next goal is a 15K July 8th. Good luck on the biathlon. You're going to be on such a high when you cross that finish line!
