First half marathon and forever friendships made! Women over 50 show YES YOU CAN!

Most of these women trained last year with our outdoor group from the "LiveWellFit Tribe" to do their first sprint triathlon! 90 percent of them walked the half so there was no judgement or serious competition among them, but more of a support group and "we can do this" attitude.
