On May 17th IFBB fitness pro Julie Lohre competed in a triathlon and she placed 30th out of over 100 women and 8th in her age class. A very impressive result no doubt, but even more impressive is that Julie did this for charity – all proceeds benefited Down’s Syndrome Research.
A quote of Julie’s about the triathlon from her blog
I have to say, the triathlon was truly one of the hardest things I have done, mostly because it is sooo different from how I usually train and compete. I have never been a huge fan of cardio and endurance training is super tough for me. With all my knee surgeries, including the newest one that is not quite healed, I did have to pace myself on the run (for me that meant cycles of sprint… pound… ouch!… walk… recover) but the biking and swimming were incredible.
