Susan Wintersteen has been training for today's all women's tri with a Training Transition on-line training program. She was doing the event for the TRI N FOR CHELSEA TEAM. She completed her first triathlon today, - and went straight for the Sprint Distance Event. Well done Susan. Here is what she wrote:
Today, 42 women came together to complete a sprint and super sprint triathlon as part of the TRI N FOR CHELSEA team. Many of us were doing tri's for the first time and learned 3 new sports in a short period of time. Kelly King, Chelsea's mom, greeted each of the team members and personally thanked them for doing the triathlon in her daughters name. The bond of coming together, trying something new, pushing individual fears and limits created some lifelong bonds. I am in awe of the strong women this cause has brought together. In total, not only did each team member complete the tri, but we raised close to 15,000 for the Chelsea's Light Foundation www.facebook.com/chelseaslight
A special thank you to Rachel Challis for her expertise, guidance and especially support out on the course for our team. Invaluable.
Warmly,
Susan Wintersteen, TRI N FOR CHELSEA team.
