Athletes Profile - Alli
Occupation: Marketing Writer for an Environmental Engineering Firm
Why you chose “Tri With Sway”: Sway ROCKS…she is a great athlete and I think I will learn a lot from her experience.
Why you are participating in endurance sports: To stay in shape and it provides a sense of accomplishment for me. I like to see how far I can push myself. Coming from a very non–athletic family, it means having to push harder and be more committed.
Goals:
Goofy Challenge – January 10/11, 2009: Right now, my goals are very simple, just to finish in a respectable amount of time. I run for my own gratification and as long as I think I did my best I’m happy. I would like to finish the ½ marathon in close to 2 hours and the full in 5 or less.
On the bike I would like to build my endurance so that I can participate in more adventure races.
Accomplishments: Completed first tri/5k/pr’s…etc.: Completed several 5Ks last year, completed first ½ marathon and full marathon and did 2 adventure races all in one year.
Something interesting about yourself: I can eat more than most guys I know. Not really interesting, but funny I guess…hence the having to run to support my eating habit.
