Exercise, competition, encouragement, laughter - what could be healthier for mind, body and soul? I loved it! ~Margaret C.

I felt energized and invigorated for days after. I know I’ve thanked you for putting the triathlon together, but it was really fabulous. Even my husband continues to step aside to let me pass; I tell him he no longer needs to bow when I enter the room. ~Margaret M.

THANK YOU for just providing the opportunity to push ourselves! I love being surrounded by strong women who model great qualities I can strive for -- while smiling and laughing all the while!!! Thanks again!! ~Pam

I want to thank you so much for the opportunity we all had yesterday to test our strength and our abilities to hike, kayak, and bike in four hours or less. We all were pleased with testing ourselves and that we did pretty well. There was such a sense of fellowship; we were all cheering for each other. It was a day we will all remember. ~Peg

So much fun yesterday! My husband says there is a problem, however: I am refusing to change out of my triathlon shirt! Now on day two............ ~Nerissa
