Here is the link to a map: http://goo.gl/maps/Hevpp ========================= Here is some of the news that we will celebrate at the team social: Congratulations to Eric Greenley, Kelly Dakin, Lance Fields, and Ali Bickel on their IRONMAN Finishes! Nancy Prier - SLO tri and Lompoc triathlon. Dale Dolan and his son Jonathan both took FIRST PLACE at Donner 1/2 IRONMAN, The entire Dolan Family rocked the SLO Swim Meet Amy Percosky - Goleta Triathlon David Strybel - Santa Barbara ocean swim. Cyclists - 4 day bike ride Upcoming cyclists trip to the Alps! Team swim meet at UCLA in October. Short course meters. =====Karen Aydelott======= You want inspiring? You want a woman whose story needs to be shouted from the rooftops as a source of inspiration for all of us? As an Ironman, she is among the grittiest athletes in the world. Karen manages to hide under an extremely modest and easygoing demeanor, the determination, tenacity and true grit of an incredible champion. At the age of +65 , she has completed 26 Ironmans over the years, including 12 in Kona. She won the 50 to 54 age group in 1997, finishing the race in 11:49:56. In 2006 she was hit by a car while training on her bike and spent the next two years going through the ordeal of trying to save her ankle and foot. "We tried to save my ankle and foot for two years, at which point there wasn’t enough to save, so I asked to have my leg amputated," she remembers. "By then there was nothing I was going to be able to do that I wanted to do. I really wanted to be at least be able to ride my bike. I haven’t looked back." Somehow Aydelott managed to bike, run, and swim. She credits the Challenged Athletes Foundation with helping her to get where she is now. They helped her get a running prosthesis and have been invaluable in teaching her the ins and outs of competing with a prosthetic. What’s even more amazing about Aydelott is the fact that it would be very easy to be pretty negative about life. We’re talking about a Kona champion who lost her leg and, while that’s tough, it was during that ordeal that she faced another even more devastating family tragedy. Rather than wonder what else life was going to throw at her, Aydelott hasn’t slowed down at all. We’ve all heard that saying "it’s about the journey." Karen Aydelott is living proof of that one. ================ A Q and A with Karen SAVE THE DATE Team Social- Saturday, June 20.
