Meet Paula Jones! See that smile in the pic, that is Paula. Behind that smile is determination. She rocked her first 70.3 in Chattanooga this past May with other TTT members. Paula has been doing triathlon for three years now and keeps working hard to meet her goals. You may see her with Ralph Crook, her hubby who trains with her. Paula says she saw a 75 year old lady on the Chattanooga course and thought, “It does not matter your size or age, if you set your mind to something, you can do it!”
Wise words we can all follow.

” Keep in mind that training and racing is a privilege and an honor to do. Keep it in perspective. We are lucky to be healthy enough and have the chance to do this sport. It is JUST only a race and whatever your finish time is, be proud of your accomplishments, no matter what level you are.
Oh, and you also get out of it what you put into it… I’m just saying!!” Great words Kim and good luck on Chattanooga 70.3 in the spring.
