The last thing I dreamt of doing was WALKING the last half of my marathon as there were hundreds of children lining the street to cheer while a mariachi band played festive music, and bystanders waved poster boards with motivational quotes along the path. If that wasn’t enough, there was a stunning view of the…

Into the Wind
“The wind and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators” Robin Sharma I remember when I first took up the sport of triathlon 8 years ago that it did not take long to realize the intensity of the Oklahoma winds.
