Sharon started running when she was 40; an activity which came easy to her. Her only pre-athletic activity was equestrian.
She won her age group in her first race, a 10K. She was hooked and became a marathon veteran and responded to the triathlon variation when they were becoming popular in the early ’80’s. For her first couple of triathlons, she used one of her kid’s bikes and swam with a side stroke. Soon, she got her own bike and learned how to swim.
She has completed two Ironman distance triathlons (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run).
You can see her signature cartwheel; hopefully again, on her way to the winners podium this year at the Lake Logan International Triathlon / Multi-Sport Festival and the USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championships.
Go Sharon!
