Live Your Life Working Hard to Stay Healthy

This past Sunday, the Live Your Life relay team had the honor of racing in the 10^th Annual YWCA Women’s Triathlon. This race is truly unique. It’s the only all-women triathlon in Minnesota and includes women from age 11 – 85 years of age. To learn more about this race, please visit the YWCA Women’s Triathlon website: www.ywcampls.org/events/signature_events/womens_triathlon.

The Live Your Life relay team included Dr. Eva Norman, our founder and physical therapist who completed the 500-yard swim portion, Rachel Wieneke, our speech therapist who biked the 15.5 cycling segment and Erin, our personal trainer who completed the 5k run portion of the relay. We trained, practiced and were ready to complete on race day. We are excited to announce that we earned 3^rd place for overall Relay Team! Congrats to all the women who competed and inspired us along the beautiful course at Lake Nokomis.

Have you thought about signing up for a race but not sure where to start? Or maybe you have done something similar in the past but not sure how to get started again?

Tips to get you started:

1. Sign up for a shorter distance run, marathon or triathlon. Make the commitment to start and follow a training program that works best for you and your schedule.
2. Find an accountability partner or group of people training and working towards the same goal.
3. Celebrate the small wins! It’s important to stay patient and consistent. Be proud of your accomplishments along the way and celebrate your training success.

If you’d like to join these amazing women next year, the YWCA has already set the date for next August! The 2018 YWCA Women’s Triathlon will take place on Sunday, August 12^th at Lake Nokomis. For more information and to register, https://www.zapevent.com/reg/event/13223.
