My heart breaks for the people in the Ruidoso area. It seems like the flooding is almost a daily occurrence. Those burn scars can't grow back fast enough! This video is from a business on Ruidoso's US 70.3.

I’m done. I can’t afford to have this story this place here in dance if somebody can help me or the government can help me to keep up I can stay, but I’m closing down. It’s hard with nobody helping. I’m a single mom retired trying to keep your business, but healthyand I wanna keep going somewhere else with less stress. Maybe I’m gonna move to Scardale or something like that because we’re also not gonna get better in two or three years.

My multisport career lasted from 1982 to 2024, 43 years. I competed in a dozen countries, at least that many national championships and 3 world championships. The journey was wonderful. I never thought that I would retire from competing.

The first crack in that "never" wall was when I aged up to the last wave start in the Milkman Triathlon. I was a bit undone thinking that there were no older start waves, that this wave was it, it was the terminal wave. 🫣

The next crack in that wall was when one of my knees could not run anymore. My transition to swimming and cycling was easy and while I missed the group runs, I quickly decided that I really didn't miss running. I was fine with my new normal of walking with no pain and no limp.

The final crack in that never-retire-from-competition-wall came this year when I decided that I am content with coaching athletes and organizing events. I truly am grateful for my training and competition opportunities. Along the way, I've met some incredible people and developed great friendships.

You know what is most important about enjoying multisport? Family, friends, people, training groups. Don't overlook the relationships that you can build while doing triathlons. You can keep those going into your retirement years.😍
