This past week my client Diane and her 3 year old granddaughter Emma were heading into Seattle. As they were crossing the I-90 bridge Emma said “this is where Grammy does her triathlons.” to which Diane replied “it sure is”. Emma went on to say that she wanted to do triathlons too and be a workout lady just like her Grammy. When I first suggested to Diane that she should do her first triathlon she was convinced that I had lost my mind. She argued that she was in her fifties and ‘wasn’t very athletic’. I continued to encourage her, she signed up for the Danskin and my training group and now 5 years later at the age of 58 she has completed 6 triathlons and numerous 5k’s. Most importantly she is an amazing role model for her granddaughter Emma who is already training for her first triathlon when she is 6. With the love and support of such a strong role model I wonder what Miss Emma will achieve in the course of her life and what kind of role model she’ll be.....
