I practiced chiropractic health care for 12 years in San Antonio, TX. I sold my practice in the summer of 2004, and married my husband, Russ, who is a Colonel in the United States Air Force.

In 1998 I began competing in triathlons and marathons. In 1999 I completed my first endurance triathlon, the Isuzu Ironman in Panama City, FL. Ever since I crossed that finish line of my first Ironman event, I have been dedicated and addicted to endurance type training and racing.
