TriSportsTraining.com: Hudson Valley Triathlon Coaching & Training for Women

Mission statement
To inspire and encourage women of all ages who want to take on new challenges for themselves through sport-specific training.

For me, triathlon has come late in life. I did my first Nike triathlon the day after I graduated from the University of Oregon (1999) with my Master's in Exercise Physiology. Little did I Know that 5 years later at the age of 41 I would find triathlon to be a passion and that I would be coaching too.

I didn't grow up athletic. I didn't even know how to swim! I started with short distance races locally in the Hudson Valley of New York, but soon discovered that I really enjoyed the longer endurance events. Within a year, I was traveling doing ultra-distance mountain bike racing and half-ironman triathlons. I finished my first half-ironman in under 6 hours and qualified for the coveted Survival of the Shawangunks (SOS) in Hudson Valley, New York. I'm not fast. But I love the sport. I enjoy the training and the journey to the finish line. I hope that my accomplishments will inspire women to do triathlon or to take on new challenges in life.

Yours in health,
Dorothy
