Robin Garrett

Robin is the epitome of the age grouper, balancing work, family, racing, health/nutrition, and rest/recovery. She will be 41 this year and has been married for 21 years. She is the mother of four, and teacher of science in a private school and homeschooler of 3 of her children. It has been a mere 2 years since she was 230 pounds, tired and unmotivated. She did her first 5K in September of 2009 followed by many more 5 and 10ks and half marathons. Robin started training in June of 2011 for her first triathlon, a 1.25 Mile swim, 39 mile bike, and 15K run. Now she's a lean 135 lbs athlete.

I decided tonight to write you and ask if you will deem me a candidate to be an ambassador. I represent the ones told they could not or should not. I represent the ones who are heavy laden with self doubt. The ladies who know they have the heart of an athlete but just need someone to inspire them.
