New Inspiration

So I have a new inspiration.  Her name is Paula Findlay, and she is a 21 year old triathlete from Edmonton/Victoria who has just won the last 2 ITU races.  She has started to make some serious waves in the ITU circuit, and she will most likely be representing Canada in London 2012.

Why is she my new inspiration?  She didn't get onto a bike until 4 years ago.  Sure, she grew up as a swimmer and a runner, but if she can do it, why can't I?  There is no reason to not be able to push myself to achieve great success.  She is who will inspire me to keep training in order to get continually better.  

To read more about her, see the Globe and Mail article here.
