Athletes Profile - Julie


Residence: O-Town

Occupation: HR Manager

Why you chose “Tri With Sway”: I think you’ll push me harder than I want to push myself, so I might curse you, but in the end I will thank you.

Why you are participating in endurance sports: They’re fun. They’re good for my sanity. They keep me in shape. They let me eat large quantities of food. I’m the tortoise in the “tortoise & hare” analogy – I’m not fast, but I can move forward for a long time.

Goals: IM Wisconsin. This will be my 2nd IM and I really want to knock off a lot of time from my 15:54 in AZ. I believe I can improve my run a lot.

Accomplishments: Completed first tri/5k/pr’s…etc. IM AZ was the hardest physical & mental thing I’ve ever done in my life. And I loved doing it.

Something interesting about yourself: I’m related to Clark of Lewis & Clark. Maybe that’s why I like the longer events… a need to explore.
