Meghan Towers-Hall: She Does Tri March Camper of the Month

Meghan is an excellent example of what She Does Tri is all about! Her infectious energy and positive attitude helped her her achieve goals of doing triathlons and shifting to an overall healthier lifestyle. When Meghan came to camp she asked questions, offered ideas to other campers and started posting her events on the She Does Tri Facebook page to get other campers engaged. Meghan even made bracelets for all the She Does Tri girls while her husband took professional photos of the group at the Baltimore Marathon Festival.

In between all her events and busy lifestyle I caught up with Meghan for an interview. I am proud to have her as a She Does Tri graduate and look forward to seeing her at Luray Triathlon this year!

1. What gave you the desire to do a triathlon and sign up for the She Does Tri camp?

My Aunt, also a She Does Tri Camp graduate, had signed up for a sprint triathlon and told me all about it. I was already swimming, biking, and running those distances separately for exercise, so I thought it sounded fun to combine them and challenge myself. I went looking for a camp to learn all I could starting out and came across She Does Tri. Coincidentally, it ended up being the same camp my aunt went to!

Catherine Goodrum: She Does Tri February Camper of the Month

Meet Catherine Goodrum, our Camper of the Month for February. Not only did Catherine inspire us to launch our very first She Does Tri camp in 2009, she has recently overcome her own fear of open water swimming to swim 9 miles during a swim camp.

1. What gave you the desire to do a triathlon and sign up for the She Does Tri camp?

My husband had been doing triathlon for seven years and I'd become a "tri widow." I started cycling a bit on weekends with him and enjoyed it so much that I decided to get in better aerobic shape (the only excercise I'd done for many years prior was yoga). I began doing fitness training and nutrition counseling with Krista Schultz in Timonium, MD in 2007. Shortly thereafter, I accepted a challenge from my husband to train for the bike portion of Eagleman 70.3 Triathlon. He referred me to Krista and she worked with me on strength training, nutrition and cycling workouts. The following year, I decided to train for a sprint triathlon to celebrate my 50th birthday (2009).

Happy Valentine's Day: The Benefits of Chocolate

Indulge and enjoy the positive effects of dark chocolate

Did you know that eating dark chocolate is good for you?

Made from the cocoa plant, dark chocolate contains polyphenols. Polyphenols are natural compounds found in all plant-based foods and largely contribute to the beneficial health effects of fruits and vegetables. Phytonutrients and phytochemicals in the cocoa help reduce sweet cravings and regulate the metabolism of fats.

Tricia Holland: She Does Tri January Camper of the Month

by Christie Carlson

How Tricia Found Triathlon (and She Does Tri)

A friend fromwork (Kelly) introduced Tricia to triathlons six years ago. Kelly had been racing triathlons since she was 17 – Tricia had never even heard of triathlons at the time. Kelly was a strong swimmer and had a bike while Tricia was a strong runner, so they started racing together as a relay team. They had a blast!

After Kelly married and became pregnant, Tricia was already hooked on the sport so Tricia bought her first bike and learned how to swim. After about a year of racing sprint triathlons, Tricia wanted to learn more so signed up for a She Does Tri camp.
