Bek’s super mum, great to meet inspiring people.

Well last night I had the pleasure of training Bec’s mum Karen who made a special guest appearance to our Melbourne Boot Camp.

What I didn’t know is that Karen performs in the gruelling half ironman triathlon.
It’s only a 2k swim, followed by an 80k ride finished off with a 20 run.

Not only does she complete the tri but she has placed 5th recently.

It wasn’t until I questioned beck why her mum was lapping everyone in the sprints that I discovered her secret.

Well her latest results are:
Busselton Ironman December 2008 her first Ironman … 12.00 hours and 45 sec, 5th in her age group – and two places from a Hawaii qualifier spot!!!
Hard day…. 1.09 swim 5.35 bike ride and a long 5 hour
marathon + transitions!

Other achievements in 2009
- 1st Woman NSW Master Time trial championship
- 3rd Scody Australian Team Triathlon Premier Woman’s division

So Karen whenever you are down from Sydney, drop in for another session:))

Always happy to meet Bek’s super mum and other inspiring people.
