  • Q: what’s your favorite or bucket list race? A: (@debranoble21) The now defunct Lake Placid 70.3. This was a team race in September 2017. This is my favorite race for a few reasons: Every Saturday morning over the summer we had 6-8 women that met in Palisades Park for our long bike ride together.

Q: What’s the funniest or most embarrassing thing you were clueless about when starting in the sport? A from @dmb0417: “Open water swimming was ROUGH for me -- FOR YEARS. During one of my first (sprint) triathlons, I was swimming (loosely defined) and I needed a moment to sight and catch my breath.
