Hi. My name is Margo and I'm a triathlete. I'm pretty much an ordinary person. Well pretty much for a triathlete.
Adopt Me!
I need your help. I am working hard to qualify for Ironman Hawaii this year at Ironman Wisconsin, and my ultimate goal is to become a professional triathlete. Things are going great, but I need some support. For one dollar you can adopt me and be my sponsor. You will become a lifetime member of my fan club, and I will keep you posted on my progress. I will send you race reports and photos from each of my races.

My Training
I train about 20 hours per week which consists roughly of swimming 8 miles, biking 150 miles, and running 40 miles. I also lift weights and go to yoga classes. I need a lot of sleep and a lot of food each day. My training schedule makes it impossible to have a normal full-time job.
Where I Started
Ten years ago on the couch, overweight, out of shape, and depressed. Read more...
