2010 SheRox Tri Gals


Updated: Thursday, February 27, 2012

About me: For my third Triathlon, in 2010, I was a mentor for the SheRoxTri series.  In addition to my personal training, I mentored, shared information, led running and biking clinics for a group of women who all participated in the 2010 SheRox Triathlon.  I might not be a super athlete, nor do I look like a typical athlete, but that's the point.  I'm a regular woman, raising a child with my partner, working full-time, trying to find a way to carve out some time to work out, bike ride, swim, run and in general, stay in shape.  I have curves, sometimes too big of a pot belly and I've struggled with my weight for DECADES!  For those of you who have read my blog over the years, you know that I've lost a significant amount of weight over the past three years, and I'd like to keep it off.  The motivation to train for a triathlon is a powerful force, as is being a mentor to 10 or more women who have various levels of athletic skills, from the novice to the aspiring Olympic swimmer.  I haven't yet decided if I will enter the 2012 Triathlon, but I am committed to encouraging women to give it a shot and to share my experiences.  Here are the current details as per the SHEROXTRI.com website:

Refunds/Transfers/Deferrals/Changes

We will offer a $20 refund (regardless of Category) if you request a refund on or before May 15, 2012.  To request a refund, click here or on the Registration Info tab at the top of the Home Page, then the Refund Form tab.  When you request a refund, your name will be removed from the registration database.  After May 15, however, no refunds will be processed for any reason, without exception, no matter the circumstance.  Please understand this policy prior to signing up for the race.
For the 2012 race, we will be charging a $10 fee for all change requests. So for example, if you change from the Triathlon to the Duathlon, or from your Age Group to the Buddy Wave, or substitute a relay team member, or enter the wrong date of birth, you'll be assessed a $10 charge. You will also be required to pay any increase of fee as a result of the change. The increase will be whatever the existing race fee is at the time you request the change. If the change results in a lower fee (i.e. changing from Triathlon to Duathlon), there will be no refund in the difference. So please proceed carefully when you register. All changes must be emailed to gretchen@sheroxtri.com by July 1, 2012.
