In late 2009, Hope "Mommie Bear" Walker returned to Sprint Triathlon competition after a 7 year retirement. Her success in her age group has been fabulous and she has qualified for and has become a member of the USAT Team USA for 2011 and will compete for the USA team at the 2011 Sprint Triathlon World Championships in Beijing China in September 2011. This blog is to chronicle her efforts and journey and to help raise donations to fund her trip to Beijing China to represent the USA Team and to chronicle the family's involvement in multisports competition.

Paratriathletes

Just saw the paratriathletes (those missing an arm or leg, blind, paralyzed from waist down, etc.) heading out for their race. I cried. That really puts things in perspective, doesn't it?! I have been worried about how I will do in the race. I realize I should just be thankful to be here competing with all of my limbs, etc. What amazing people those paratriathletes are... Dedication and perseverance!!!
