I had the great pleasure of meeting some of the members of the women's group
and was pleased to find that they are fully getting involved in a sport that
can be very intimidating. The more people involved in Triathlon the better.
A lot of the women will be doing the IRON GIRL in Columbia, also a lot of
these women have joined MMTC as full fledge members. Thank you Maura for
running with this and spreading the word about the Sport of Triathlon.
