| Participant Profile |
| Who are you? |
Christina Pope. I am 39 years old. I am originally from
Victoria but discovered the beauty of Saskatchewan ten years ago
and along with discovering my husband here decided to make this my
home. We have a 3 1/2 year old son as well as a golden retriever
and bunny. I currently work for Canada Post.
 |
| What are your hobbies? |
My hobbies are the outdoors, as in hiking, camping etc.
Photography and reading. |
| How did you hear about this program? |
I happened across a link to your website while searching for
local triathlon clubs. I hadn't heard of your existence at that
time but was very excited to find a beginner's program and
particularly liked the all-women aspect. |
| What will you find challenging? |
Specifically I find the swimming the most challenging part of
the physical training but mentally staying with a fitness program
over time is my biggest challenge. That is why training with a
group is so good for me because it keeps me motivated. |
| What do you hope to get out of the program? |
Obviously getting fit while having fun is top of the list but
on another level I am looking for something that will help me get
fit and stay fit for many years. I dread the idea that when my son
is a teenager say in 10 years or so and wants to go hiking,
skiing, biking etc. that I won't be able to participate with him.
I want to have a long active and healthy life and I would wish the
same for everyone. |
| What races, if any, are you hoping to do? |
I am participating in the duathlon this weekend and of course
the Y-Not-Tri race. I haven't looked into the others yet but don't
see why I wouldn't try to do one more, perhaps the 10 km Sask
Marathon event. |
