Newspaper Story on Three Generations of TriZoners

I don't mean to be tooting my own horn, but today's Austin American-Statesman published Pam LeBlanc's Fit City feature on the three generations of my family who are training for the Danskin. I thought the writing was very strong, and TriZones gets a nice mention too. Three or four other TriZoners are recognizable in the photo as well. Here's the link to the online version:

Wonderful story!

I'm glad you posted this!  You are such an inspiration.  I think it's really special that the 3 of you are able to share this experience together from training to race day!   ;-)

Fabulous!

I saw the post this morning and was on my way out the door to go buy a paper (I don't get it delivered) and I guess today was a free day from the Statesman! I had a paper in my driveway! What a perfect day to get it! Love the story and you guys all look great!

Any extra newspapers?

If anyone has an extra paper that they're not saving, can you bring it to Wednesday's workout?  I'm sure Jody, Kelly, and Shannon would love to have extras to send to friends and family!

And if you read the article online, be sure to check out the hard-copy version.  The photos are absolutely lovely! 

TERRIFIC article!  Great job, Jody, Kelly, and Shannon!!!  We're so proud to have you in the Tri Zones family!!!

Thanks!

We'd love to have any extra newspapers to send to distant friends and family members. Thanks so much for posting the call for papers.

Thanks also for all of the positive comments on the article. I thought Pam LeBlanc did a great job. I just wish the photographs had included the coaches and more of our teammates. Next time!

How fabulous!

That is a wonderful testiment to the three of you.  I've been inspired watching you all workout, I'm glad more people will get to be inspired, too.  I just sent the link to the article to my mother.  We did the Seattle Danskin as a relay 2 years ago together, and it was so much fun. Enjoy Sunday together!

Three Inspirations are better than One

It has been so much fun training with all three of you this Spring.   You each one are an inspiration and a great role model for women of all ages.

Pam did a good job with the article -- of course she had a great story, 3 great athletes and a TriZone family to help her.   I am so glad they let her have so much space for your story and your pictures!
